This thread is dedicated to the mainline and lower end "Pro series" bows offered by most manufactupers. I picked this up as a closeout a few weeks back and set it up and have been running arrows through it. Bow specs at 6" brace, 34" ata and low 340ibo speed. Bow is equipped with PSE's super smooth Drive cams, which are an easy draw and just smooth all the way back,no surprises. I bought it for a backup to my Decree HD,and IMO the Vendetta gives up nothing to the Decree. It has the typical PSE "bump" or feedback at the shot. I have always been a fan of PSE's grip,and this one does not disappoint. Now the cable rod setup I am not a fan of. The riser is cut away and the rod is just held in by the head of a screw. I'm sure it's a solid setup,but I will be keeping a close eye on it. The camo finish leaves a lot to be desired,it's nothing fancy and has some small uncovered spots. Not a big deal to me as my bows are tools and are treated as such,not show pieces. In closing, I paid $400 for this bow and feel it's an INCREDIBLE deal. I will not buy another $900+ bow again,especially when there's bargains like these out there.

I would agree, when they came out with their lineup last year I thought for sure I’d get the Vendetta, loved their earlier ones. Picked up a used Epix for $400 loaded (even arrows and quiver). Love the bow, very fast considering the draw cycle and very accurate for me. I’m still a fan of the hybrid cam even over the Evolve cam. Put a set of Breathn strings on it (factory ones left a lot to be desired) and I feel it’s as good as anything I’ve had.

With that said what is covered under the Drive cam, I thought these were MH cams or are they under a certain umbrella called Drive?

I really hate that they "replaced" the Vendetta VX with the React. I loved the Vendetta, great draw, great letoff, stable shooting, quiet, speed was really good and that price won many a customer over! The BM34 was just the same. The verdict is still out on the React but I know its no Vendetta!
