I got 2 for the shop this past year and hunted with one. I think its a bit faster then the AR. Very accurate, a little noiser than I'm used to but I shoot recurves alot so maybe its just me. The Mirage is priced lower also. I had mine at 64lbs@29in.,QAD Ultra rest(modified to fit),Doinker D2,Vital Bow Gear 1 pin sight, trupeep, Winners Choice string and cables,Carbon Tech Whitetail 45/65,Bohning Blazer vanes, 100gr. Slick Trick Broad head, arrow weight 365grs.,288fps.Bow pulls very smooth.
