[QUOTE="Havingfun, post: 1044227, member: 14228"] Want to than all who have provided their input on this subject. I have found each to be very frank and extremely helpful and most of all, all provided in a genuine spirit of being supportive of a new bow hunter. I in fact did test drive the Mathews No-Cam last week and was really impressed with both the shop pro and the bow itself. He didn't have a No-Cam that fit me in the shop but he adjusted one down to reasonably close for me to at least get a feel. I need a 26.5" bow and his were in the 27 to 27.5 range. He suggested I only needed a 50-60 lb bow to do the hunting I described I'll be doing and agreed that speed isn't all folks try to portray it to be. He shoots a 60-70 lb bow and keeps it down on the lower end himself. He suggested I test drive the Obsession and the Hoyts I mentioned before I make a decision. I'll say however, when I released the No-Cam, it surprised me when it released and it was absolutely quiet. I was easily hitting my aimpoint after only a couple of attempts. I'll keep testing and will report back my findings from the complete novice perspective. Thanks again to all. [/QUOTE]
