Thanks for your comments guys.
So far I love everything this carbon bow has to offer (the grip is wider but I got used to it) even the RAK.
I used nothing but Whisker Biscuits before thanks to Neil @ LOST Arrow so the Octane Hostage arrow rest is no change really. I do have a newer Rip Cord that was on my Mathews Switchback XT & Hoyt but I feel no need to switch over. Same goes for quiver & sights, It works for me, why change it.
I bought the 60lb model and I dunno, before I always went with 70lb bows as it seemed that's what was needed. I find it quite comfortable to shoot and I'm not straining to hold back at full draw. I know you can adjust draw wt, but right outta the box the Icon was a indeed a comfortable shooter!
I really hope to tag a deer this fall with it. I'll be using Gold Tip 55/75 Hunter XT and a 100gr Innerloc mechanical.
*What are your thoughts on the Assassin as a back-up bow?*
