    The draw is a little stout for me yet, it's more than what I was pulling, but I'm going to work up to it, and not back it down unless I have to. The let-off makes it very manageable after I break it over.

    The fit? Perfect! The longer draw length made a world of difference on the comfort.

    I am officially a carbon arrow shooter now. I'm still not sure what to think about that, but as I look at my old case with 9 bent arrows in it, I think that even if I prefer shooting aluminum the carbon will be much cheaper in the long run.

    I seldom make a poor shot, but I, like everyone else, am not immune to mistakes. I like aluminum, because the deer can break them off at the skin if they need to. I've seen a few deer the last few years with an arrow sticking out behind their shoulder, and it makes me sick to see.

    The bow spits arrows. I am even using longer/slightly heavier arrows than buckey, and I can't see the damn things until they stop.[:p]

    How's the accuracy? Well, It took about 6 arrows to sight it in. My next group was about 3 inches at 25 yards with 3 touching. Out of the chute, I shot this bow as well as I could shoot my old bow. The bow-shop was impressed, and said that it's very seldom that they get any shooter with a new bow that can make groups like that initially. It took all of 3 minutes to get it sighted in.[^]

    Yeah, I'm pleased. I'll use this bow for a very long time....or until buckey decides to cut me a sweet deal on a switchback![:D]

    I found out yesterday that when I get fatigued, and shoot my arm, the mathews hurts a whole bleening lot more...but, I was still only about an inch off bull, so it shot straight regardless!
