BK2 Honestly...I have said (for 8 years) that it is impossible to build a IBO bow that can beat this Bowtech. To date...there have been none to have met or bested the BK2 Just saying

Hold that thought chief....I'm looking at the Mathews XLR8, and the PSE OMEN. 360+ IBO....we'll see, oh yes, we'll see.

I estimate that the difference is (at a minimum) 3fps. Not even close ;D ;D

That looks like a wash to me...10 fps for 1" dl, 3lbs over....it's a tie at best.

Guess it depends on what you consider the best. Best bow I ever shot was/is the original Mathews Switchback. Not a barn burner for speed, but then again not that important to me. It will launch my arrows at 272fps with draw that makes buttery smooth jealous. Rock solid, wicked accurate. That is the "best" for me. Mine is beat up from overuse and is not pretty anymore, but it will always be in my rack.

I've heard nothing but good about the Z7...I am avoiding shooting one only because I know it will become a "must have".
