Not that I'm a PSE fan, lol

I really like my Strothers but my best friend just bought a Prime Impact and WOW!! what an incredible bow.

G5 prime!!!! Shot the Defy last tuesday and pretty much instantly traded in my Mathews z7. Best feeling bow ive ever shot. The back wall is like a concrete fortress. Try one, you will NOT be dissapointed.

lol...not trying to get into a p!ssing contest. I have a 2012 Dream Season, and it's very quiet. I have shot the 2013 DNA, and stood beside peeps at the archery club shooting the DNA. Very quiet bow. My 2010 Bow Madness was very loud that it needed string leeches, which also slowed my fps a bit. Most peeps will tell you the Bow Madness is a very quiet bow...so....just saying.

I shot the DNA at 55lbs and loved it. Quiet, smooth, great back wall. Shot it at another store at 72lbs, absolutely hated the draw cycle. But it was still quiet.

If this were really the case it would be the best bow on the market.....

I would love to see this first hand..... Not doubting you but those numbers are almost too good to be true.

Wow! That is a true kinetic monster! It is really more like 99 ft/lb! Both of my Destroyer 350's at a true 28" draw length can "only" make 80 ft/lbs. that's 380 grains at 309 fps at 66 # draw weight.
