Good suggestion DaveA, I shot one recently very nice, smooth to draw and fast especially with the carbon foam limbs and your bound to get good personal customer service.

Thanks DaveA, I will have to look into that

i recently returned to the sport and had a similar decision to make. I decided to get the package deal from quicks as it included everything. I chose the Winstar II riser and 34# limbs. Since then i have gained my third class and am one score away from second, so the bow seems to work pretty well. I was considering a more expensive riser (hoyt, seb flute etc.) as i reasoned that it would last forever, however the winstar seems very well put together and i expect it to last. I have the challenger limbs which also seem fine for the moment. I intent to upgrade these next season when i replace my XX75's with some ACC's (don't tell my wife). If you do want to spend more money look at the sight you buy - Q sight a lillte rattley!!!

When we first started both my wife and I went there with the aim of buying one of their 'intermediate' packages. I stuck with the Winstar II (and got to Bowman before upgrading) but my wife spent over an hour just selecting the riser and opted for a Hoyt Eclipse for the feel of the riser and grip (cost more but Les simply added the cost difference the package price).
