I bought an elite judge about a month and a 1/2 ago. I shot it for the first time today all set up. I love the bow. I've been hunting with a PSE nova since 98. I really liked the nova but now i have the Judge i didn't realize what i was missing out on. I shot at least 30 times today and it was like pure bliss. I haven't shot too many other bows, but the ones i have don't compare. If your looking for a quiet, fast, and smooth shooting bow the judge is definetly worth a look. I'm not bashing other bows but for a smaller bow company they sure do make an excellet bow. Thanks
