Will someone do me a favor and shoot the HCA Iron Mace. I really would like to know anyone's feedback. It would serve for me to gauge my evaluation of a bow. I have been shooting about 20 to 30 arrows a day since I got it, and in poker speak; I think it's got the nutz.
I don't know if anyone has access to one, but I would appreciate you guys' (and gals') opinion. Thanks.

Mine was supposed to be here yesterday, but my buddy, who is also a dealer, didn't get it before he took off to Florida for a week, so I'll have it in another 10 days or so. I'll post up after I shoot it, looking forward to it.

I have not shot one but they are certainly on my radar.

It looks like the "new owners"of High Country are building it with top quality components. Barnsdale limbs, Winner Choice strings, and parallel limbs make it an attractive package. With a 7 3/8" brace I would question their advertised IBO speed of 330-340 (Petersen's Bowhunting May/June issue page 59), but all in all I would like to take one for a test drive...

Thanks guys for the posts. I look forward to the report cards.

Just finally got my dealer buddy back from Florida and picked up the IM yesterday.

Don't have much on it yet, but we had to shoot it and see what she could do.

Put a whisker buiscuit on it (handicapped speed) and the closest we could get to an IBO arrow ended up being 366 grains. Bow was set at 29" and draws a scale weighed 71#s, which puts it 11gr over IBO, and with a buiscuit.

Speed was averaging 327 with the greatest speed being 330 and the lowest being 325.

Bow wasn't nearly as harsh as I thought it was going to be. Just like drawing a BowTech with speed cams. Very little handshock, but that can be easily taken care of, after all, we still don't have anything on the bow.

Noise was about the same as my Mathews LX, hunt ready, this bow can really be hushed up. I was very impressed with the bow.

I will post up some pictures once I get the bow fully assembled and ready to go. I'll also give some final specs and test speed results, but my initial impression of the bow is very good.

All that I can tell you is that my brother has e-mailed them 3 times about the bow and has yet to get any response. So be careful they are infamous for bad customer service.

WHAT?!?!? I have heard the complete opposite. They are known for fantastic customer service. You might be thinking of Elite. They have a pretty bad rep. But they are really the only company I know of that has a bad rep for service on bows. Mathews, Hoyt, BT, PSE, HCA, Parkerand their affiliates all have great reputations.

HCA might of had a bad rep before they came under new management/ownership. But I have talked with them a couple of times and had no issues whatsoever.

What happened on your brothers bow? Its pretty tough to break one of these things, they are dang near indestructable by bow standards.
