Default bow

My cousin loves his and can't say enough good things about it. Its not a speed demon but that's not everything. Being an all carbon riser it isn't suppose to be as cold when your freezing in a tree stand in november. Check out the you tube videos when they are running them over then shooting it!

make sure you are ready to put the money down before you shoot one, they are smooth and very quiet. just shoot one and you will know what i mean.

I bought the matrix last year and the element this year. I don't think I'll ever buy another metal riser bow again. As far as speed goes, I'm shooting a 410gr arrow @ 298fps, that's plenty fast for me. The balance of the element is unmatched by any other bow I've shot, the "after shot" feels great, it's easy to hold on target, and it's quiet. I liked my switchback xt for hunting, but the element is just as nice to shoot, better balanced, a bit quieter, a lot lighter, warmer, and about 25-30fps faster.

This is a sweet bow it is a shooter with a really short valley so you cannot be lazy with it. If you are looking for a light quick and shock free bow then you can't go wrong with this one.

Nice bow but my HCA Speed Pro is lighter, faster, and less expensive......

Wt: 3.3 lbs, Axle to Axle: 33, Brace Height: 7 inches, IBO: 345, Retails around $700-800
