Saw your post, and I'm checking into buying the next bow.
Haven't seen much on the Pantera, except that it is new and there wasn't any inventory at four sources, I either used or check.
Saw a price of $499.99 mentioned, but not much else on availability.
Looking into the Bengal which runs about $100 and more less, and is approximately the same size and demensions, as the Pantera.
I'd check the site, Martinarchery.com or

They have dealers listed from the states, and I have one to visit about 25 miles from me. And I need a tech, who isn't 100 miles away or more.
In the next few months, I'll visit the big box store, and several dealers within 50 miles.
It's gotten so, you better have a backup bow, if you want time to check on getting the next new bow.
Good luck to you.
