    So G5's are pretty good then? Gonna check them out. Seem to have good reviews.

    Think I'm gonna hit the range up after work. Need to shoot high up to change it up. Plus there's a crap ton on 3D targets out there which is pretty fun and cost me zero to shoot at haha!

    Now wait just one minute. o_O Are they claiming that there are things on TV that aren't real? :confused: Next they'll try and tell us that pro wrestling is staged too. :anonymous:

    Yes, there flight characteristics behave very well. I will admit I wasn’t a big fan of the monolithic ones, but the G5 strikers are the ones I prefer

    Anybody use a PSE bow? They seem to have some great looking bows. I like the Evolve 31.

    I've had 6 or 7 PSE bows. Loved them all. I currently shoot a Brute Force.

    My hunting bow is 60lb. It's more than enough power to take down an animal, but easy to draw when in the stand cold

    yep. Shot the G5 Striker broadheads today, I will say they fly pretty straight! I got it dialed in and hit in a 3" circle at 40yds. So now I have no excuse to miss a deer other than my nerves;)

    I shot with a guy that had a brand new Mathews Halon 32 yesterday. Really impressive bow.

    Well that does kind of go without saying, because I haven’t come across a bad Matthews bow yet!

    There's a reason I still have my LX and FeatherMax. If I take out the F'max this year at least once, it'll be it's 19th hunting season. She's a hard hitting, quiet, killing machine.

    I fall into the same thing, I had 2 bear bows...first one was an old cable one. I couldnt get parts for so I got rid of it. Next one was new but I never could get it to shoot good for me and it was a heavy draw for me even at 50-60lbs. So I got rid of that. Then I got a Mathews mission bow. Its been my favorite--Im sure there are others that shoot better but it works for me and its smooth, quiet and not too heavy. I know in the near future I wont be buying any new bow since they are way overpriced. this one is going on its 9th season and I hope to kill an elk with it again this year.
