Hi guys. For those of you who know these bows can you tell me the difference between these two bows? I shot the 2015 decree and absolutely loved it but I have not shot the 2016. I owned an inertia and absolutely hated it because it wore me out to shoot it. I am thinking about trading my 2016 Xpedition Xcentric 7 for a 2016 dream season decree but I want to know how it compares to the inertia since they share the same cams. I felt the inertia was a fast quiet accurate bow but I couldn't get 10 shots through it at 70lbs without felling wore out and shaken. I have been shooting heavy poundage bows for over 20 years now and I've never had trouble with it until that inertia haha. Feedback from anyone with some knowledge of what to expect with the 2016 decree would be great

2015 Decree has adjustable flex slide that can be used for tuning, getting vane clearance and getting the strings out of the sight window when shooting. 2016 isn't as adjustable but doesn't have any parts to replace and has the Titanium bolt kit.
Curious why the Inertia would make u tired when both have the same cams?

I wouldn't expect much valley out of anything with a IC cam. Super smooth cam, but also very aggressive. The speed has to come from somewhere after all. With that said, my old Decree did hold very well on target at full draw, and I shot very well with it.....even at longer distances. Just don't let the string off of the back wall. Also, If I were you, I would save some cash and look for a leftover 2015 Decree. As I said, I had the Decree, but I also bought the Firenock titanium bolt upgrade for it, which in turn made it a Decree Ti. I saw no difference in the bow, whatsoever, with the titanium kit. It is so light to begin with, that I couldn't even tell the weight difference in the titanium kit. The grip may be different on the Ti version, but I thought the original Decree IC had a GREAT grip too. Nice n thin, and felt very good in the hand. In the end, you Can't go wrong with either, but could probably save money on the 2015 version. Good luck!

Thank you sir, i would love to try the HD but its a little to long for treestand hunting in my opinion. The 2017 decree 32 looks like a promising bow though

Tons of valley in the decree Ti I own 2 of them! The trick is to set the rotating mod a 1/2 inch short of your draw length and then the cable stops at your exact draw length-butter smooth and a valley very close to an elite bow! Try that trick first it totally takes all of that stiffness out of the harsh draw! Good Luck! JUICE!
