    I can say that I'm one of those who were advising Rodney and crew on the target bow.

    If we are to compete and be successful, the bow has to have some features that are amenable to target archers.

    One of them is the grip on the riser. Pure target bows like the Hoyt Vantage/Contender/Ultra's, Martin Scepters, and even target capable bows like the PSE Bow Madness XL have narrow grips. That reduces torque at the shot.

    The other is the broadhead shelf. The screw holes on the broadhead shelf will interfere with the grip on some archers. I actually had to take black duct tape and tape over the broadhead shelf screw holes on my Accomplice 34 so that it was comfortable for other target archers to shoot it.

    This bow will be a perfect blend. Speed, longer ATA, hard wall, and in a package that weighs less than most target bows.

    I weighed my Vantage Pro the other day, fully equipped. The thing weighed 8 pounds.

    I know a fully equipped eXceed 300 will weigh less. This will be an advantage - lower overall mass weight mean better holding at full draw.

    So - I'm looking forward to getting the bow. It's gonna rock!

    -Steve

    I took me all of about 30 minutes to get adjusted to the grip angle on the Accomplice. That said, I have no doubts the guys giving the design input will nail it!.

    I know I'll like it, the sideplates were the first thing I ditched on my 34" and then wrapped the riser in black athletic tape.
