Gotta agree with Pat here, Jeff. The title might have been more believable if it said, "Lesson Learned, for now." Something to that effect.:s2:

I know I know. You are both right. If there was ever a poster-child for "Archery Man Whore", I'd be it. It's an Addiction! A Sickness! I CANNOT HELP MYSELF!

On a serious note- If I had not received bow Y at such a huge discount (like 1/3 its value) I would never have bothered. I've been shooting Bow X for awhile and nothing else.

To make matters worse, I finally got all the parts I needed to get bow Z in shootable condition, and will be putting it back together today :eek:

Thanks Jeff,
This shop is really pushing the GT500 and thats just over the phone, plus he's an hr away, I'm not sure I even want to deal with somebody who wants to really push one brand on me.(of course its all about the $$$). That Carnivore just keeps drawing me back, I was telling MeanV the other night when I ordered strings from him how the Ross set a 70lbs felt like a heck of a lot less to draw. I can't even find an Alien to shoot, Wonder why ?:wink: :D

You should shoot them all. All 3 are great bows- The Alien is a really nice bow, especially for the money- With the barnsdale limbs and whatnot, I'd be inclined to take it over the GT500 if the A2A were not in consideration.

But def the Carnivore is the smoothest/easiest draw. The bow at the shop came out of the box @ 78 pounds (70 lb limbs), and it was a pretty nice 78 pounds.
