I bought one in October of 04'. My bow is a 2003. I'm a lefty though. I really like mine, but I'm a first time archer so its the only bow I have ever owned. The only problem I had was my fletchings kept hitting my rest. The store I bought it from could not fix the rest where my arrows would not hit the rest. Personally I think I knew just about as much as they did. So anyway I got a WB & it worked well, but I'm probably (Lord willing) gunna put on a drop away. It is a good shooting bow to me. I killed 2 deer with it this year, but then again its the only bow I've ever owned. Its not one of the blazing speed bows but for my income it fit me fine. Good Lord willing, after a few years of getting use to shooting I may buy a different one that has a higher IBO rating, but for now it suits me fine.
