Well, I got the bow last night, set it up it up immediately, tuned it with a Medicine Stone, set the Center Shot with my Lazer Tuner then began to group tune and do a walk back tuning on the bow. I'm going to hate this bow! I ruined 2 old style Turbo Nocks, one of them I shaved off all 4 vanes on it and the next one I had a Near Robinhood, plus lost some vanes off it! Shooting this bow is going to get mighty Expensive! Especially when those near Robinhoods split the back end of my Carbon Revolution Speed Pro arrows! There are a couple of things that I don't really care for on the bow. It came with The Most Bug Ugly yellow and Black strings and cables that I have ever seen! Also, the grip is designed to make you shoot pretty much with a High Wrist Grip. My suggestion for next year is to have a Low Wrist Grip Option available! For me, the Low Wrist style shooting is much more comfortable and way more accurate. Especially if you practice like I do for up to 8 hours per day when possible! My wrist will take a beating for a while until I get used to the grip! I really like how the Competition grip is nice and slim! It makes it so that the bow slides into the cradle of my hand and seems to sit there like it is part of my hand! It does not impart any side to side torque on the bow this way! As for hand shock and noise, I was totally blown away by how quiet the bow is and how it has virtually No hand shock in it! I have a set of the new Limbsavers that I had planed to put on the bow, but I don't really think it needs them. I will put them on however, just in case I have a really close shot at a big buck or a pesky coyote! I don't want to take the chance of blowing an oppertunity! If you are into SPEED and more Speed, the Newberry will blow the arrows right out of your quiver! WOW is that bow Fast! I'm not normally a speed freak, but this bow totally Impresses me with it's speed! I plan on putting it thru a chrono in the next few days to see just how fast it is. I named my new bow Marilyn after Marilyn Monroe because of it's sheer beauty and curves, it's great manners and it's soft voice. I have since been in contact with Richard at Newberry and he told me to just sand the grip down to suite me and then reoil the wood. The funny part is The more I shoot the bow, the more I like the grip! It just took a little getting used to! As I get more accustomed to the grip the more accurate I am getting! I totally had to go back to shooting One Arrow Per Target today because I split the ends on two more arrows! Dick The Serious and exhaustive Testing Continues!
