I currently shoot A Ross 331 and a 2008 Ross Cardiac. I like both bows but am considering getting a Alph Max. I am left handed and my dealer only had right handed in stock so I haven't been able to shoot one, only draw back a right handed one. It seemed to break over a little hard but I know I wasn't giving it a fair test. I am thinking about putting the Ross Cardiac up for sale on here for around $300 (60-70 # 28 DL). It has not been shot very much and is like new. With all the new bows out, do you think the Cardiac would sell? I love both bows and have no reason to change other than having an itch that I want to scratch! I guess I'm looking for someone to talk me into buying it!!!

dont get me wrong i had a cardiac and was an awesome bow! but the alphamax is in the league of there own, there way more forgiving then the specs show, and faster too, i just got mine for hunting and some 3d, you looking at 32 or 35?

The AMs def have a hump- its worse with the longer draw lengths for a given cam size. The Ross singles are def smooth to draw.

As for selling your ROSS bows- would it sell?..yeah probably for the right price-but with the "old Ross" out of business, and now BowTech dropping the "New Ross", and the dearth of parts and lack of warranty , I know I personally wouldn't buy one-new or used.

Also should mention- Jerry @ SouthShore Archery has brand new in box 08 (Old Ross) Cardiacs in the box for around $350 or something- you'd prolly want to price yours MUCH lower if it's the bare bow.

I think you need to shop around. And try several different bows. IMO you can do better than the AM

It seems like if you have a bow that's over 2 yrs old you have to give it away to get rid of it. I have a Mathews Conquest Light w/mimi max cams that I bought in 1997 that is still a shooter. I've been meaning to pack it up and ship it to out troops overseas. I'll probably just keep both Ross's and wait a couple years and see what's out then. Thanks for the input.

Just go buy it......you won't be sorry! I couldn't find a bow that I liked enough to get rid of my 06' Tribute until I shot the Alphamax!
As far as your Ross. For the price you'll get for it, I would keep it for a spare or backup. I always like to have an extra bow laying around in case something happens, or someone wants to shoot and doesn't have one.

You may want to scratch that itch with the Maxxis 31 rather than the AM32. I think that it is easier pulling, smoother drawing and does not have a kick at the shot.

didnt really care for the maxxis. Love my am32. Id scratch the itch with the alphaburner tho... Mmmmm

You will most definitely love an alphamax, I love mine, but you should really shoot a few different bows. Shoot what feels good to you, not what we tell you. Although, you should try the Maxxis. Hint-Hint

The #2 cams are the ones that have the little hump on them to pick up a little more speed. The #3 cams are a little smoother.
