Not sure about the Impulse, but I had a Superslam Supreme. I personally did not care for the fat, cramped grip on the bow. These bows are pretty quiet for '90s bows, but they weren't any too fast even then. Should be forgiving, again if the grip suits you. I did some pretty good shooting with mine at times, but with the old original fast flight strings, it constantly needed to be tweaked. On a whim, I got a cheap Darton Excel, and it shot so well, the Hoyt collected dust until I sold it. The Hoyt was definitely the quieter of the 2 bows though. Wish we had Limb Savers back then.
