Default mathews drenilin or fred bear insticnt???

I am looking for a new bow and i have been looking at the drenilin and the instinct at a near retailer and i like them both. i have a reflex highlander and i hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the letoff os 75% and i shake like a leaf wheni shoot. thats why i want a shortATA bow and at least 80% letoff. I like the way the instinct pulls back and how smooth but i like the lightness of the drenalin but i wnat u alls opinion.

thanks

Perhaps you should look into why you are "shaking like a leaf" when shooting. Are you overbowed, holding to long, drawlength correct, etc. Hate to see someone go out and lay down hard earned cash and still have to deal with the same problems. I would certainly let the proshop know of your troubles so any corrections could be made before purchase.

Im with doegirl on this one. Sounds like to much weight or to long of a draw. Or both. Find some help at a pro shop 1st to find out what the problem is.

sounds like maybe too much pondage....or the only other possibility is too much draw length..though i would lean towards the pondage....yeah having more letoff on high pondage is easier to hold, but 75 vs 80 is not going to make a huge diff...a 5% difference on a 60-70 lb bow will only make a 3 lbs difference.

each one of those bows are nice...get the one that is most comfy and shoots smooth to your desire..the instint is like half as much as the drenalin...if you only hunt and dont shoot all the time for target shooting i wouldnt spend the money....just remember every top bow from each company is =
