I was all pumped for the Z9...till I handled and shot one.
32" DL doesn't work well with those short ata bows. String angle was so bad it seemed like the peep was a foot from my eye.
The MR8 may be a little better, I look forward to seeing one next year.
I think I tried out every bow offered in a 32" DL, put a lot of miles on my truck to check them out. (Couldnt locate any from Elite Archery close enough.)
The PSE Vendetta XL was my favorite by far, and I've never liked PSEs offerings.
Really been surprised at how happy I've been with it, stock string sucks and will be replaced after season's over, but other than that I'm more than pleased.
Something will really have to blow me away before I trade again.
Congrats on the buck, that's a nice one. I've never came close to that with a bow.
