Hey 5-shot:

Nice report! The draw sure is silky compared to almost anything else, isn't it?

As far as that little bit of noise you are getting, I think I have isolated what little noise my Mountain Bow is making to the limb pockets. I think I remember Len posting something about quieting the limb pockets on his Maverick. Now, there are just two problems with this memory. First, this dates back to the days when Len and the Educator actually still posted messages on H.I.S. forums!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> The second is that as I'm getting older, the memory isn't what it used to be!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> If this is in error, I'm sure Len will set the record straight. Anyway, it might be a good excuse to take a little drive
to a first rate pro shop.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

My bow has about the same noise and recoil as the HCA Carbon Force I owned for about a month. I only notice the noise I mentioned when I am shooting @ 66# with 360 grain arrows, and then it is still plenty quiet enough to hunt with IMO. Congrats on the bow. Hope you continue to like it.
