Had a few minutes to kill last night while my wife was doing some last minute Christmas shopping so I stopped by my favorite archery shop. One of the sales clerks & I were talking about the new bows. I told him I was only curious but asked him what models compare with my Switchback. Turns out he and I shoot the same bow and setup pretty much the same way. He asked if I shot the new Monster bow and I told him I wasn't interested in a double cam bow and that I heard a lot of negative things about the Monster. He surprised me by saying what I heard was basically true but I should try the new 7" brace height Monster. After checking my watch and seeing I still had a few minutes to kill, I took him up on his offer. I gotta tell ya...I was pleasantly surprised. He had it set at the exact same weight but it was a shorter draw length for me. I was really shocked at how easily it pulled back until I got to the "hump". Then it took just a little more effort and I was solidly at the wall. This was the first bow of the new year that felt better or the same as my Switchback. I can honestly say that if I had an extra $850 laying around the house, I probably would have gone home with it. Of course I would have had to go home first and then pick up my wife.
Merry Christmas everybody!!!!!
