RE: Quieter Drenalin
That's my take on it too.....I figured you were a big feller like me anyway with that 70/30".....Heck, I'm 260 lbs!!! lol
My Vulcan is definately not a light bow, and I think that its weight is what helps it shoot so smooth and vibration free. Weights really not a bad thing, it actually helps steady the shot.
I've heard people complain about a bow being heavy because they have to carry it a long way. Doesnt make sense to me. My .300 Mag weighs a little over 10 lbs......a 5 or 6 lb bow set up is nothing!!!

We are about the same I'm just shy of 6'7" at 260lbs. Most of the areas I'm hunting are only a quater to a half mile walk in. The Island I live on is only 14 X 7 miles so even at that 10 lbs would be nothing.

My brother in law just bought the Drenlin. Pretty sweet bow... He bought it because of it's weight... He wanted the lightest bow available.
I still love my Switchback XT!

RE: Quieter Drenalin
Ken,
How much did the STS run you? I do hear a little noise, butup to now I wasn't too worried about it. I still kind of feel that thisspeed, by the time the deer hears the quiet little thrum and has time to react, it's way too late for him. I wonder if the need for a totally silent bow is for the possible chance at a second shot?
