I've put over 50,000 shots through mine, and there's no problem with the axle at all. What keeps someone from hanging the bow while it's at full draw? Commen sense man, a small breeze would send that thing shooting up causing possible injury.

It's hard to explain...it's not like you are only holding .3 lbs at full draw...If feels like a normal 80% letoff...it's just that the notched axle allows just a hair more cam rollover...the string isn't limp, there's lots of tension on it, and the bow is very accurate and shoot greats. Letting the bow down is no problem at all. The first time is kinda scary...just like all firsts, but after that you'll find it lets down just like any other bow.

I shoot a backtension release, so I reef back on any bow I own...and this bow is no different. Won the 2004 Michigan IBO state championship with it this year...and showed it off a little bit to the Oneida boys in Marion at a 3d shoot there as well.
