RE: Hey Len....Darton question...
The only one I've shot is the new Maverick Extreme. While it's slower than my Maverick Express, in the 80% let off stage, I do like its other attributes. Quiet, vibration free and smooooooth.
I will see all the models at the ATA Show this week. I'm seriously trying to find a bow I like better. I've been shooting the Maverick now for about 6 years. That's tooooo long to be hooked to one brand/model.
While at the show, I'm going to take a strong look at the BowTech Pro 40 (actually 38" ata) with the dual cams. I just wish it came in 80% let off.[:@]
I was also taking a very strong look last year at the Hoyt CyberTec. The only problem I have with the Hoyts is the 'Tec' riser. It's not the looks but the ergonomics. I can't shoot a left-handed bow right-handed. The 'Tec' portion of the riser blasts my left wrist when shooting the left-handed bow right-handed. What a bummer!!!![&:]

WWAG:
Because I can! [&:][&:][&:]
Really, it gives me an advantage over the deer. I shot right-handed for all my life. A few years ago I had to switch to left-handed due to eye dominance becoming more prevalent. For S&G I tried to shoot the bow with both hands - it worked very well.
The advantage is that I can remain seated in the treestand and shoot extreme left or right around the tree with minimal movement. I now have a release on each hand and have changed to a treestand that allows me to have a bow holder between my legs. It's a 'deadly' combination.
Sounds a little weird, I know; but, it works very well in situations where I can't move around. It sure does get a lot of attention when I demonstrate using both hands in the shop. Most can't believe what they see.
