    Default 2010 Shadowcat?

    Well an opportunity has arose to trade my recently won darton for a 2010 black shadowcat with carbon limbs and if the trade goes through it will probably be my main target bow and the onza will retire to just a hunting bow. i know it has the cat 1.5 cams which i am not familiar with and i was wondering if you guys have any input on this bow and if its worth the trade.

    I have 3 Shadowcats, 2 right hand and one left hand, they are the only bows I will shoot.
    All 3 of mine have the 1.5 cams on then also.

    Can't say about the ShadowCat, bt I have three bows with the Cat.Nitro/Hybrix 1.5 cams. Performance isn't quite as good compared to the 2.0 cams, but the 2.0 cams won't fit my draw length. I'm a shorty. Draw cycle is good. You'll like them.

    That's awesome. I had the pleasure of shooting a new Scepter earlier in the spring and I'll tell you it was a real shooter. Held, aimed, and balanced very well. I would have ordered one to keep, but I couldn't get the draw length short enough for me. I'd think that being about 1 1/2" longer the ShadowCat will exhibit th same qualities. Good luck.

    i had to replace the limbs on my shadowcat. martin was very good about taking care of the issue. on a whim i bought a scepter v...but i just can't pull the trigger on selling the SC. maybe i'll use the excuse of needing an indoor bow...hope the wife buys into that.

    keep an eye on those limbs.

    btw, i did add nylon bolts into the holes near the limb pockets to help keep the limb bolts from backing out.
