I have the buchmaster G2 year 2002, it is the same as the epic except the riser and upper wheel which is larger in the g2, the g2 has sims technology all thru the bow (riser pockets,and in the riser itself) is is a little faster then the epic but a lot less viberation and noise. I do not know much about the realtree but I love my G2 and the factory helped me up a lot.
