I love love love this bow!!!! When I first got to the range, I was a little down. I even had a slow start. I shot the new bow for about 30 minutes, and had to rest. I tried using the starter bow that the range had me using, and it was like pulling nothing! I switched back to the patriot-crazy how fast I got used to the new bow. My groupings at first were all over the place, then I was able to bring them in a little. I showed George (Ryals) and his son at the range my new bow, and they said it was an awesome bow, that it looked like new. They were very impressed. At first I was shooting 10 yards, then 15, then back to 10. When I was getting ready to leave, I decided to fool around and shoot 25 yards, just to see how I do. One time not even hitting the paper the target was on, and one broken arrow after it hit the ladder next to the target, I finally hit the target.
