[QUOTE="veriest1, post: 1118438, member: 17414"] I recently went bow shopping to replace my 10+ year old PSE that was to short for me now that I want to start bow hunting again. I shot about 20 arrows through a friends Matthews No Cam and was really impressed with the bow over all. I destroyed a knock at 20 yards on my second shot with this bow. I'll probably buy one in the future when they hit the used market. I shot an Elite Synergy was fantastic. Very "dead in the hand" with no stabilizer and almost as smooth as the Matthews draw wise. I just couldn't stand the grip on this bow and had to readjust my hand each time I drew it back. I shot a Hoyt Nitrum with the risers bottomed out at 72.5 pounds and loved the grip. The cams weren't as smooth as Elite Synergy but they weren't bad. Without a stabilizer it had a touch of a vibration to it but it was a shop bow so it could have been a tuning issue. It felt the best at full draw IMO and it seemed to be the easiest for me to settle in with. I shot a Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo and hated the Turbo cams at 73 pounds. It was more dead in the hand than the Nitrum but I know how many knicks and dings my rifle stocks get (from somewhere!) and don't want to carry a carbon bow afield. Ultimately I ordered a Hoyt Nitrum with 80 pound limbs. I felt it was the best compromise of smoothness and comfort for me since each bow had some things I didn't like. My only complaint with the No Cam was the arrow speed (I like heavy bullets and heavy arrows). For your situation I think you'd be really happy with the Matthews No Cam. I know I would be. [/QUOTE]
