    All I can say is WOW! It shoots so nice, smooth draw, light, quiet, and dead in the hand! I wait for the bump I have come used to at the end of the shot. I have put only 100 arrows through it and I am hitting dead center at 40 yards thats SWEET! I hope she treats me well too. I will kill a buck with this bow, no doubt!

    Hunting, is a tradition that was passed on to us by our ancestors, lets pass it on to our children. Take a kid to the woods with you. You will have no greater feeling than to watch that kid become successfull in taking there first animal.

    I just like the way it shoot. I still need to get used to how tight it is. I am not used to having a back wall but it sure helps with creeping!

    Thats a dang good price you paid for it to. Cheaper than any bow I've ever set up.

    She will be a good bow.

    I guess I was a lucky one. I paid 450$ for my turbohawk, 100$ for my bone collector sight, $45 for my rest, $60 for my quiver, $50 for my octane stabilizer, and $100 for the nfused arrows, $30 for g5s, so I got $835 in my hoyt setup. Truth be told I had bought the arrows and the octane last year and the quiver too so I have less than that in it.

    I'm always curious how some people come up with these high dollar rigs. I want a Vantage Elite target bow for indoor this season and it's 1200$ bare. 250$ for a sight ( if I don't shoot pins ) stabs are 100$, rest is 100$ ( thats shooting high ), arrows might be 140$.

    With all that I still can't even reach $2000 for one of the most expensive bows on the market, and with all the best equipment on it.

    Beats me either.

    In my hunting rig I got oh probly 1200 or a little more. Not real sure. But if you would count all the arrows and different rests and crap I'm buying all the time to try out its alot more than that.LOL

    My target bow I've got an expensive setup I bought brand new for a heck of a buy and got a heck of a buy on all the stuff for it for the most part. No tell on how I did that
