I'm gettting back into bow hunting after a long break and am researching what bow to purchase. I'm honing in on my choice of what qualities I want in a bow and Cabela's has a bow with many of the specs of a better Matthews Bow at a lower cost. All the new bows seem like rocket launchers in terms of speed. My priorities are reliability/durability and silence. Does anyone have any experience with Cabela's Outfitter series bows?

If you are going to get a bow at Cabelas, I personally prefer the Buckmasters 4000 to the PL 1.5. It has more brace height for more forgivness, less riser reflex (less critical, IMO), and is just as fast. I personally thought the draw was smoother too.

Thanks for the tip. Is one of them any quieter than the other?

I really thought they felt about the same in most ways. Both had a little vibration, but very quiet and low recoil at the shot.
