Looks pretty damn good to me Josh. Some people will probably say the draw looks a little too long, however your bow arm looks good and you're all nice and straight and inline, and that's the key.
My only suggestion would be to get yourself a wrist sling and relax those fingers a bit more.
Oh...one more suggestion....
sell me your bow..for $200

I've always wanted a Pro-Tec with spirals...seriously considering ordering one.
and congrats on that 60 yard group. excellent. I can never find the patience to put in that kind of time with a back tension release...suppose I need to someday to cure my TP.

Um Jeff? Check out the AT classifieds
I actually traded my Liberty for the protec. My shooting has gotton better because of it. I think because of my monkey arms, those short ATA bows just arent compatible with me. Not to say it shot bad, but I had a noticeable improvement when I switched.

As for the bows...well you went from a high reflexed 33" bow w/ a 7.5 " brace to a deflexed 37" bow with an 8" brace...quite a bit of built in added forgiveness in the protec. Much less torquey than a Liberty is...How does it balance with just that S-coil on it? (though likely I'd get 2005/2006). May have to go with either the Timberwolf or a c.5 Ultra/v-tec as I'd hafta order a Pro-Tec and need something fairly soon...Hoyt is not exactly know for it's er....quick delivery of product


I can't stand those spirals on a Turbo/SuperTec..but on the U-tec and Pro-tec they pair up nicely!

I just saw a 04 protec wiht spirals on AT get sold for $400 shipped.. Wish I would have seen it before it was already snatched up.
It balances decently without a stabilizer and the 2 peice Hoyt quiver on it. I noticed little change balance wise after adding the s-coil. But I basically got the s-coil free afterI ordereda cobra diamondback for $39. After hunting season I'm going to go shop for a good 3d sight and stabilizer. Looking towords a sureloc supreme or something of that nature... It does tend to aim a little high, but a 1/8 tightening of the bottom limb fixed that. But I dont check tiller when I tune.. I just bottom them out, and adjust until hold on the bull easy.

A bit long for a dual purpose hunting bow for me personally these days (since I hunt on the ground quite a bit), but yes...*extremely* good shooting bows.

Looks much better. How does it feel? If you are using a back tension release I would get a wrist sling for sure.
Compare these pictures with your old ones and look at the difference.
