I have the 2004 Matrin SlayR SE but with the DynaCam, and i absolutely love the bow, its so smooth to shoot and rolls smoothly in and out of the valley. All up a great bow. Not to mention the rate it spits them arrows out at ...phew ..... nice!

Yeh, I got the SlayR with Nitrous cams. This is simply an incredible bow. Speed out the kazoo and controllable. What's so pleasant is the force/draw curve. The cams roll over more like an energy wheel. The valley is short to non-existant, but just shortening the draw a bit works to keep me in the wall, which is a wall. Shooting a 3D setup this thing is giving me 302-305fps at 55lbs and 27.5" draw. For hunting the same specs are yielding mid 280's. I've given up on hunting with it this year. The only beef I got with it is that it's like toting an I-beam with limbs. Heavy for target or 3D is quite OK, but it's a load what with all the other crapolla I carry to the woods. In hunting fashion the thing weighs 8 1/2 lbs, and that's with only 3 arrows in the quiver. I will say this though. I good breeze couldn't blow that thing off target once I get it there.

Forgot to mention that I'm ordering a new 2005 Shadowcat soon. You really need to check this one out.
