RE: New Bow
Yeah listen to T-FOX about the binary cam stuff -- not my thing. But if you like the smoothness of the Mathews try a diamond. My Marquis is smooth as butter. With any of the bows you mentioned -- you can bring down an elk --- as long as you are a good shot. But like you said -- get what YOU like the best; for me it just happened to be a Marquis

RE: New Bow
KodiakArcher.... Thanx for the link. I have read that review before and thought it was very informative. Just forgot about it. As far as needinga more forgiving bow(I am NOT one to pat myself on the back) I have robinhooded twice this year with my current setup(Parker Wildfire XT) I am not saying that I am great shot or anything close but I feel comfortable with a bow in my hand.
FSUBIGMAC.. Thanx for the response and your honesty.

RE: New Bow
Off topic but Kodiak -- I like your review on the DXT. I shot some guys at the shop and also thought it floated a lot. Thats when I started reading about weight and eventually got the B-stinger and never looked back -- great write up.

RE: New Bow
I have shot the DXT and the AM's and hands down prefer the AM's. They seem to be very good shooters, and they feel great in the hand. The draw is nice and smooth as well. But of course any draw feels smooth next to my binary cam bowtechs

RE: New Bow
Well I shot both the AM's. Now I have to decide which one. Any input as to which one to get (32 or 35) Would be greatly appriciated.
The only difference that stood out, but not much, was how amazingly quiet the 32 was. I'm not saying that the 35 was loud(quietest bow I have shot) but the 32 was rediculously quiet. I'm sure the ke would be so close it wouldn't matter but I am curious if there would be a signifiant difference in accuracy down range(40 yards and beyond). If there would then I will go with the 35. The weight difference is so minimal that that wouldn't matter.
Thanx for the responses in advance.
