[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 3071014, member: 101482"] I honestly have only shot a couple, but have a carbon air stealth (mach 1, I believe) It shoots GREAT for me. I really appreciate the lighter weight, and the grip is much more pleasant to hold all day in cold weather. The big thing I noticed with mine is a LOT more feedback in the riser during the shot- hand shock as it were. Apparently not a bad thing at all, just different. I switched from a Vertix to this, so a similar jump to what you would be making. Going from a Mathews to something like this you will likely notice it too. Again, not necessarily bad, just different. More weight would help tame that, but in my mind that defeats the purpose. In fact, I don't even use a front stabilizer when hunting... I don't like the extra bulk and weight, and honestly at the ranges I shoot deer I just don't see the need. Obviously others will think/feel differently. Would be tough for me to go back to a heavy aluminum bow for hunting. For targets etc maybe I'd feel different, but for me I think it's going to be carbon all the way in my hunting future! [/QUOTE]
