Got my new bow - The AR 34
Well guys.... after going and shooting the Mathews LX yesterday, and then shooting the AR 34 today - I bought the AR 34...... When I shot it, and the first 3 arrows I shot were touching - I was sold.... I have heard people say they thought the AR was not as smooth, or quiet..... I have to say though - I sure didnt see the noticable differance... and the AR felt better in my hand and I didnt have any problem with the string hitting my arm (which it did shooting the LX but VERY slight) So I got the AR..... I also have to give the AR a really high mark for the handle design... very nice, and just feels great......
Anyway - thanks to all the guys that offered their opinions last week...... I have to say - Id never buy a bow without doing a shot to shot comparison again. In my opinion, the bow shoots every bit as well... and even better - I like the way it feels in my hand and Im already tack driving with it.
SPECS :
28" draw, plus my string loop
60-70 Pound
34" Axel to Axel (AR 34)
Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter Rest
Alpine Archery 3 arrow quiver - By the way - If you have not seen this quiver - I give it a 4.8 out of 5...... what a fantastic quiver for hunting.......

Congrats. on your new bow, you won' t be sorry!!! I shoot the AR31 and in the Quiet and Smooth category it blows my Mathews away.
Jason, they change cams on their bows, no modules for draw lenght change.

RE: Got my new bow - The AR 34
I got mine shootingbullets holes late last night... I was having a little trouble setting my Trophy Taker " shakey hunter" drop away...... I am shooting cock feather up - and the 2 lower vanes were barely hitting the outer ' wings' on the rest........ So after moving my loop (what a pain) a few times, and adjusting the rest... I finally backed up to 6-7' - PERFECT bullet hole.......
Then I shot at 40....... I used my old sight..... wow- I almost shot over the target... I had set the 20 yard pin, and had left the spacing the same (from my other bow) I barely hit the target... so I shot the 30 yard pin...... 3 bullseyes, and i called it quits....... Not bad I thought for a bow I got 2 days ago ... a 3" group at 40 yards......
