    Default Pure Dilema!

    I have had my Pure now for a month or so, and there is nothing about this bow that I don't like. That being said, I still like my XLR more. I am also going to be getting a Tour, (on order), and if the reviews are any indication, this may be my new go-to bow. Now, honestly, I probably have not given the Pure a fair chance as I have been shooting my XLR for leagues, but I just don't seem to have as much confidence in it. I don't really know what to do...sell the Pure, trade the Pure for a Hunter and sell my Z28, or just keep the Pure and give it a little more time? What do you all think?

    This is exactly my way of thinking, I bought the Pure, for the added speed, to be my outdoor 3D bow. But now I am wondering if it will ever be able to surpass my XLR. I have always believed accuracy to far outweigh speed, but now I am experiencing it first hand.

    I know how you feel. I like my new Pure, but it ain't no XXL. I, too, bought it for the extra speed, but it's taking some getting used to. I might buy a Tour, but you can't buy what nobodys got. And I ain't waiting on a bow more than 3-4 weeks from noone.

    I felt the same way with my GT500 when I got the Hunter. I thought why did I buy this bow when my GT500 is a great bow? That was until I spent more time shooting the Hunter and it grew on me and I think now it will be my number one hunting bow.

    Same predicament I had, but I sold my Hunter. I love the GT500.
    Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

    Just wondering your 3.d shoots are they ASA?
    Because the XLR is no Pure for IBO shoots in my opinion. Indoors I cant say the XLR isnt a better choice but for 3.d its Pure for me. smooth with plenty of speed. Of course Im a long arm draw so speed has never been a issue either.
    Matter of fact I dont think my indoor scores prove much either way lol!
    I say because you have it give it some time to show you what its got. If you dont like it or really dont want to risk it then maybe a trade off is what you should do.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.
