    Default GT 500 to Z28 switch?

    Have any of you made the switch from a GT 500 to an Z28? Just wondering. I am considering picking up a Z. My GT's are awesome but am ready to toy with something different and love the 09 dls cams on my GT's. I don't need to sell my GT's to make this work but wonder if any of you have been impressed enough with the Z to sell your other bows be it Elite or not. Thanks.

    I loved my GT and wish I still had one. The Z is a great bow, so smooth it is ridiculous and they flat out shoot. You really should give one a try.

    I have both because of the same problem. I can't part with the GT at all, but shoot the Z more. Love both, but the Z draws soooooo easy and is truly a pleasure to shoot. Keep the GTs and pick up a Z.

    word of advice ..... never sell an awesome shooting/feeling bow just to try another model


    if you shop the mkt, you can find a used Z28 for 375~425 .....


    shoot both, do a side x side comparison and sell the one you like least

    No for sure try the Z.... then the GT's will become back-ups

    I have no intention of selling both of my GT's but possibly one if the Z shot that well for me. Thanks for the input guys. I may have one located.

    I have a feeling when you get a Z it will need strings before the GT's will. Their hard to put down, I've owned 3 and really thinking of getting another.

    I may be in the minority on this one, but the GT is a better bow for me. I just can't get used to the shorter axle to axle of the Z. I shot it well enough for hunting, but not nearly the accuracy past 30 that I get from the longer bows. But the Z is butter smooth and holds very nicely!
