I've seen in a few post lately about guys saying how good there bows are and others are second rate. What should it matter if you are happy with your bow. I saw a video of the olympic gold medalist hunting and he missed 2 deer within 20 yards of his stand. My neighbor will not be happy until he can shoot quarter size groups, me if I hit in the kill zone i'm pleased cuz it means meat is comin home. Point is, who cares if you're shooting a Whitetail II or a top of the line Mathews as long as you enjoy yourself and hittin what yer aimin at.

    I am one of the guys who gave in to speed and quietness. I shot the same bow for 11 years, and went to the range and someone let me shoot their mathews. I was impressed by its speed and quietness and ended up buying one. I now agree with you Taco, I can still shoot my old bow at a very successful rate, and dont think I needed to make such a drastic upgrade to be successful. Dont get me wrong, I love my Outback, but I actually hunted with my old bow just as much as my new one this year. Maybe im just stubborn, I dont know.

    I just like to stir the pot[:D]. Hope I didn't offend anyone didn't mean to[:I]. I shot an Impact before my mathews. lots of vibration and lots of noise, actually had to aim low to get a good hit when they would croutch to run. Its all about knowing your bow I guess but I won't go back[^]. But I will also say I was in the market for a new bow and got an outstanding deal on mine. In fact I asked on here what you all thought of the deal before I made my purchase. probably would have bought PSE (which I like to make fun of because A friend of mine shoots them, not because there is anything wrong with them) if I hadn't got the Q2. but again what I had to compare it to is not much. I may have had 30% let off on the old bow.
    I like to stir it up all in fun. I apoligize if I had anything to do with your post or thoughts leading to your post.

    Taco is right I love my PSE(precision shooting equipment)(lets leave it that for now you guys) I have know shot two different PSE bows and wont change until something gos wrong that pisses me away from them! Some people spend hundreds of $$$$$$ on bare bows they don't even know how they shoot![B)] I spent $150 BARE for my latest bow and have done very well.[:)] I used to shoot indoors for two seasons and averaged 280's with ,OH YES A PSE![^]

    BAG IT. TAG IT. EAT. SLEEP. REPEAT..

    Sam changed the cams and put a new string on for me I got it from one of the guys that shoots over there. It is either Toby or Trent I forget. I know the brother Travis that is how I got hooked up with the bow.
    Are you headed south anymore this year??
