 Limbs are just over an inch wide! Check out the limb pockets (or lack thereof) Yeah - same specs as a Switchback - but I bet it is smoother..... It will great to shoot - will be in shops today - at 10....RIGHT NOW! |

I was getting ready to ask if those were PSE limb pockets. Shaman, how do you like the Diablo? I'm thinking of getting the Diablo or Mach X. Right now I'm trying to work my head (& my wife's) around that price tag.

I can not say I have shot a lot of bows, but I don't need to. I took the advice of many people and set aside 2 hours with a pro shop during off time and I shot the Switchback, Vtech, Ultratech, AR35, Vengeance, Illusion, and Diablo back to back. Narrowed it down each time until I got to the AR35 and Diablo and the Hoyts (just because I love their look) The Diablo was it for me, no question. It came up naturally in my hand and I was shooting bulls @ 10 yards with no sight or peep. They set me up with all my gear @ 20yds and within 7 rounds of 2 arrows at a time, I got this:  I'll be shooting this bow for a long time.... |

Obviously has something to do with your sight! gotta LOVE them TR's!  |

The angular pins allow for minimal animal/3D coverage like the TR, but the separated pins mean you can see light/target around the pin unlike the TR pins after the 20yd'r. The TR is now my back-up. Both great products. |

Don't think I like those little 1 1/8" wide limbs. darn near no stability.
Personally, I think the Hoyt 2 1/4 wide set up is a bit better (OK...twice as good doing the math LOL)
And to get only 4-5fps with a 1/2" less brace (vs. Vectrix) I'll keep the longer brace.

What exactly does the width of the limb have to do with stability?  |

Let me start by saying I've never been a HUGE fan of Mathews. But yesterday I was more than impressed with the Drenaline. Everyone talks about hand shock being present but I found NONE!! That bow is one sweet shooter. Very stable, very quick and overall one ggreat bow. Unfortunately, I don't believe it was $850 worth of shooter. I also had a chance to try a Vectrix, a Pantera, a Cheetah, and a Whisper Creek Quantum. Of all the bows I shot, the Drenaline was to me the finest. Followed in order by the Vectrix, Cheetah, Whisper Creek and then (sorry Matt) the Pantera. Best bang for the buck? The Cheetah hands down. $400 would be well spent with the new offering from Martin.  |
