I got it. Finally the sight showed up, and I got it out over the weekend. It shoots great! 60lbs, 28" with 65% let off shooting a GT Pro Hunter 5575 with 100gr tip at 280fps.

It shoots like a dream, and with the 65% mod it draws really nice! I just can not get the feel for the Mathews grip. Most shots are good with an occasional left or right shot. Also when paper tuning it I got a bad right tear, while others who shoot the Mathews grip all the time had perfect bullet holes. I know there are many other options out there, but now I am working on finding the right one.

It is back to the shop. There was a loud buzzing sound coming from the top cam. They ordered new cam, bearing and axle for the top. If that does not fix it, the bow will go back to Mathews for repair. I hope it does not come to that.

I'll post pics when I get my hands on it again.

    The bow is on it's way back to Mathews. The new parts did help some, but not completely.

    Mine is back. I will try to get shooting it to see if it is quiet again. They said they shot it at the pro shop, but it was closing when I picked it up and did not get a chance to put arrows through it.

    I was told that they replaced the bottom cam and axle when the noise was on the top....

    I hope this is fixed.

    It is fixed! I was told Mathews replaced the bottom cam and axle. The noise was on the top cam, but the vibration was made at the bottom... This thing is really quiet now, and shoots like a dream. I walk back tuned it, and set my pins 20 to 80. I was shooting some really good groups and some others came out to join in the fun. We put out a 20oz plastic bottle and tried to see who could hit it first. My first shot pinned it right through the middle of the label! Two other guys hit it too, but no one hit the middle, and the others took 20 or so shots to do it. Maybe my luck is turning around.
