I finally bit the bullet and bought my first bow!!! Man was it overdue.. I went with the Bowtech Assassin and from all the bows i shot, The (Z7, The Destroyer, Some Hoyt and a couple others..) the Assassin was the the quietest and smoothest bow IMO.. It also helped that it was the best price. I really liked the the Destroyer and the Z7 but at hundreds less I just couldn't pass on the Assassin. Anyways I very happy to finally be part of the archery family and can't wait for my first hunt next month!! (Flint River WMA hog hunt) wish me luck...
