Well, I did the unthinkable tonight... after many months of flat-out lousy shooting with my new liberty, I went to my local shop and ended up walking out with a new Mathews. I tried them all (outback, LX, Legacy, etc), and the Icon was the one I "connected" with - 29", 60 lbs. I don't think I've felt this way since I met my wife... this could be the real thing.

Not to bash the liberty - it was and still is a great bow, but I couldn't seem to ever get it together with it. Granted I don't have prize winning form, and am not about to win any 3-D titles, so I realize 99% of the difficulties I've encountered were probably in my hands or head. It's just that the Icon seemed to fit me a lot better than the Liberty. I still give kudos to Bowtech for making great products, but I learned the hard way that what other people like and shoot well doesn't necessarily equate to success for me.

Looks like the Liberty will be hanging on the consignment rack at the shop - 29", 60 lbs.

BTW, what is a fair asking price for this bow with an original trophy taker on it?

Just learned a big $$$ lesson,

Bill
