Ok, I got it back yesterday and put about 30 shots on it. MAN OH MAN!! Sweet shooter, especially compared to my old bow. With my old bow I could actually see the arrow flying to the target, not so with the Grizzly. And it's smooth as butter pulling back. I love it!!
My buddy took some pictures with his phone, but couldn't e-mail them to me. I am definitely going to shoot again today and I'll bring the real camera and get some pictures posted.

I like how the holes in the riser are filled with dampers, may have to do that to mine.

I was going to shoot and take pictures yesterday, but it was rainy and real windy. As soon as I can get my wife to let me shoot in the house, I'll be set. ;D I have noticed a little torque. I was shooting without the side plates and trying to be really open with my grip. I've since put the plates back on and am going to try shooting with them just to see how they affect things. I'll probably take them back off, but want to try them to be sure. The next time I shoot I'll get some pictures and put them up.

My son actually shoots the bow just as well with the grips but I just cant do it. I have to take them off for testing.

Well, my old bow had a really thick solid molded grip. So I'm thinking since I'm used to shooting a wider grip that the sideplates may work a little better. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a chance to shoot a little bit after work.

Finally got the time to shoot some yesterday and I noticed a couple of things with the Grizzly. It's a fair amount heavier than my old bow. I started off shooting really tight groups. Each round opened up a little more and by the last round I was all over the place and my left shoulder was killing me. Just something I have to get used to.
Also, the string is loud when shot. I don't have any Leeches on it or anything just a loop and peep sight. I don't know if the arrow I'm shooting is too light or what, but I'm gonna try to put some leeches in and see if that helps. Forgot to take my camera to get shots of me shooting, but will try to do that today.

My Grizzly is pretty good on the sound and it has nothing on it for silencers and is shooting around 5.5gpp

once you build up your muscles, you will find that a heavier bow, generally is more stable and therefor more accurate

I love the stability of it. I just gotta get used to it. My shoulder is still a little tender.
