He has shot the m7 on many separate occasions, he liked it quite a bit, it was a close second for him.

Some more pictures.


Now has the sight mounted on, what stabilizers do you guys recommend?

Have to admit, the wooden grip is really nice.

i like b stingers but you will probably get all types of answers. I find the stingers actually stabilize the bow and aren't really used to suppress noise or vibration.

That is the same bow I have been eyeing up since they came out. I am thinking maybe next year I will pull the trigger on one.

Very nice bow. Lucky kid for sure.

It can shoot too, he is selling the 1 pin sight. He doesn't like the concept of it.

Outstanding!

I don't blame him, I had 2 separate HHA's and after shooting above the target at 20yds twice in one day I decided a multi pin was my best option. I switched to a 7 pin and now I have a 7 pin with a floating head so I can dial it in to 150yds+ for targets and still have my set pins for 0-80.
