I guess my question to you is - Have you shot either bow ? There may be little difference in the description of the bows, but bigger differences in the performance of them. If you haven't shot either bow, go ahead and them and form your own opinion. Get what YOU like, not what others like. If you are new to the sport go to an Archery Pro Shop and talk to them and shoot as many different makes and models of bows as possible, then make a descision. I'm not trying to talk you out of buying a PSE (my first two bows were PSE), they are very good bows, just don't make your choice on what others tell you, find out for your self. Good Luck !!!!!!
