I know ive already posted here but im on my 4th bow this year. None of them were "new" and i hunted with my 2010 alphaburner last year. I traded that in january and got a 2009 alphamax32 then traded that in February and got the 2012 elite answer then traded that for my 2010 Mathews z7. Im happy with this one and will probably hunt with it this year then trade it.
