All I can say it that this bow is a shooter!!! Fast, Smooth, Forgiving, and Absolutely no hand shock what so ever. This has to be one of the best bows I have ever shot, if not the best. I havenever shot better at longer ranges until I got this bow and I even went down to 60# limbs because of the speed I was told I would get. I have not chrono'd this thing yet but I shot it aginst the Switchback XT and the Hoyt Trykon, same draw lenght and weight and it was deffinately faster. I found it to be much better than the Trykon in most catagories and a tad better than the Switchback because it was faster, I liked the draw cycle of the hybrid cams better, and I liked the angel wing grip better (nicer fit). They were pretty equal to me in the noise, and shock categories and both weigh about the same so the XT was a close second.

If you are looking to get a new bow don't pass up the Stealth by Ben Pearson. At least give it a try, I am very impressed with this bow and cant wait to switch from foam to live tissue and really put it to the test!!!

i wanted to shoot the stealth but the dealer was a jerk every time i was there. Like my tribute so much i don't see how the stealth would impress me any more.

Most people that have shot the stealth absolutle love it. must be a nice bow!!!

I didnt shoot one but they had one at the shop I got my Defender at, I can say that it has the looks imho. It was just out of my price range today.
