anyone shoot Rytera Alien X Yet?
Has anyone shot this bow. the Alien X looks like a really nice hunting bow on paper. I was curious how it shot. My closest dealer for it would be at least a couple hours drive.
Just seeing if anyone had any feedback?

There does seem to be alot of hype around this bow. Over at that other sight it seems to be drumming up alot of attention. Wouldn't mind shooting one myself just to see what it is about even though I have my eye on a GT 500.

RE: anyone shoot Rytera Alien X Yet?
Very skeptical.
I guarantee it will draw as nicely as they say, but I just cannot imagine it being all that quiet, vibe, or recoil free as they say (compared to the best from other manufacturers). It's still using the limb pivot system Martin has used for eons which is accurate, but is a big cause of bow noise.
They will have to prove me wrong, cos when I got back into shooting and made some inquiries, all the Martin fans said the same thing about the new Firecat & Cheetah/Bengal- super quiet, low vibe, no recoil- I shot them and thats simply not true. Better than they used to be? Yes. Can hang with the best from Hoyt, Mathews, or Bowtech? No.
That new Firecat def is FAST! So I'm sure the Alien will cook too, especially since Crackers helped refine the thing (which is kinda weird and rubs me the wrong way...you need to send your bow to a shop owner/super tuner to get some engineering refinements?....)
