I have owned a Slammer and own Pronghorns.  The Slammer was a beautiful, well built, and fine shooting bow but, for me, the riser was too large and heavy.  The Pronghorn riser size and grip fit me much better.

Never owned either....but have shot both.....just a personal choice, both are excellent bows and for me either would be a fit    :thumbsup:

I haven't shot a slammer, but Pronghorns are tough to beat.

When I go hunting,  my Pronghorn is the bow I always take, but never had a three piece.  Would really like to try one,  maybe some day I can talk somebody from Wyoming out of one. :-)

I bought a takedown slammer on TradGang a few weeks ago.  Really nice bow. Beautiful and smooth.  I have a one-piece slammer on order that should be here soon.  Can't wait.

slammer, really like the extra mass in riser.  Slammer shoots great and beautiful bows.

I have shot both. Both are good bows. My personal choice would be the Pronghorn 3 piece. It is a shoot where you look bow.
