I think the Fox Maverick is very nice. I owned for a time. I loved the grip. It is just barely under $1,000 at $925.
I went to a couple of the shoots back in 2009 and 2010 when I was looking to decide what bow to buy. As others have said, they are great places to try several. There are even some exhibitors that have used ones of various models. I did buy a Fox as a result of those visits but it was a TD, High Sierra.
I have to report though, those trips didn't save me any money. Over the next few years I "had" to buy, to try several. I also think that Super K mentioned above is a beaut!
If you find something you are interested in the classifieds here on the gang are a terrific place to buy and sell. Safe honest deals. You'll need to invest a bit for access to the classifieds but you can save hundreds by spending a few bucks for access.
Oh, and I would have been shocked if your BW comment raised any eye brows here. Elsewhere for sure, but folks are civil here and recognize there are many different tastes and enough variety for anyone.
