Well I finally got out and shot my bow for the first time today and I have to say it was pretty sweet. Definitely very little noise/vibration whatsoever. It was easy as pie to dial in my 20 and 30 yard pins, now I just need to keep practicing so I can wear off some of this rust from the off-season. I really like the short axle to axle length of this bow as it is very easy to maneuver around. I wasn't even in the woods and I appreciated that. Oh yeah - it landed me my first accidental Robin Hood today as well. Good thing is, I wiped out my hunting partner's arrow and not my own.
