And then I'll have some pics...this bow is worth me trying to get my stupid digital camera contraption working...

I shot a ton of bows over the past week...tonight alone I shot...

Old Glory
Independence
Allegiance
V-Tec
UltraTec XT2000
UltraTec XT3000
Vengeance NRG hybrid

After shooting all those, I honestly have to say I just wasn't REAL happy with any of them. The Old Glory, VTec and Venegeance were the last 3 in the running. But all of them had some sort of "fatal flaw" that kept me from wanting to lay down the cash.

With the V-tec it was the brace height & AtoA, the little bit of thump (these were all 60 pound bows, BTW), and the fact I'd have to shell out another $100 plus on new string and cablescos frankly, I thinkHoyt strings/cable suck.

The Vengeance shot really well, and the grip is to die forbut even fully loaded with Limbsavers, the factory string stuff and a doinker stabilizer, it was loud and had quite a bit of vibration. My friend could give me a really good deal on one of these which would make up for having to get rid of the crap cables/string on this one too. But it was a bit shorter than what I wanted too.

The Old Glory was the best out of those 3. But the grip and I were not getting along. BT grips never used to bother me, but after not shooting for so long, it did not feel comfy at all :shrug: Sure was the smoothest, fastest, and quietest out of everything though, and spec-wise was near perfect (AtoA, and brace)

So I decided to go home and sleep on it..my freind/shop owner knew I was frustrated, and brought over a box and said to me "wanna see a REALLY sweet bow". I hd no idea what it was but he opened it up and starting pulling a bow out.....

Tomorrow, you'll find out what it is..(ooooo..I'm such a jack@$$)

I will say this much:
it's a single cam design.
It's also a long riser, short limb bow.
It's from a new manufacturer I've never heard of.
It has probably the nicest machining and craftsmanship I've seen on *ANY* bow..ever. I mean this SOB is *TIGHT* Very high quality.
It's very reasonably priced (less than 7 bills)
It has one verysimple feature that makes fora HUGE positiveimpact on shooting/tune-ability. I immediately shrunk my groups by 2/3 when I started shooting this bow compared to the rest. It would also stack quite varied spined arrows right on top of each other, untuned...out of the box with just a cheap NAP500 prong rest.

K..thats all I'm saying for now. Believe me when I say this bow is a cut above. I was floored.

I just bought a Pearson Venom and its a sweet shooting bow at 31 ATA. The accuracy is like shooting a 36 in. bow.
