You can see that I can't reach high enough to put my hat on straight. I just have to flip it up in the air an hope it catches the top of my pointed head.

nubo,
What do you want in a bow? What qualities are most important to you? Speed? Smoothness of Draw? Brace height/forgiveness? ATA length?
If you decide first what you want in a bow, and then decide what you want to DO with that bow, its easier to help narrow down where to look.

I am looking at a new Bowtech as well. The order of importance for me is Smooth Draw (read bum shoulder), Brace height/forgiveness (need all I can get), and ATA/size (hiking mtns for elk makes a guy tired). It seems like all of the Bowtech line is pretty fast, so speed not really critical to me. For these reasons, I am leaning towards a Justice, but the MM looks like a winner too. Any thoughts? Agree/disagree. Of course, I plan on shooting them all and seeing what falls out in the mix.

Aye... the Justice would be a very good choice, or the Liberty. The MMVFT will draw a stiffer than those two bows that utilize the Freedom-cam.

I just got the 30" module in and ran a few arrows through it.
With just the module change it picked up 9 fps going from 316 fps at 29" to 325 fps at 30". That's with 2 string silencers, brass nock, 2 eliminator buttons, and a tru peep.
When I shot it with nothing on the string except the brass nock it only picked up 5 fps which surprised me a little. So it topped out at exactly 330 fps at IBO specs, but I'd like to add that the draw lenght is EXACTLY on 30" AMO.
Also, these speeds are withou any additional tweeking, like cam advancement or axle polishing and lubing (which I usually do) which will add at least 5 fps and as much as 10 in some situations.
This bow is an exceptional performer.
