Went to my local archery shop today and to my surprise they have some new 2012 bows (BPS didn't!).

I did not shoot any of these bows so my thoughts are only of fit & feel.

I'll start with the Fury:
I hated it. IMO the Vision feels SO much better to shoulder and aim, and the overall quality of the Vision seems better to me.
In no way does the Fury come close to feeling as good as the Ventilator. You may as well get a non-RDT bow because the Fury feels just as front heavy as a standard xbow. The Vision balances well tho so I'm assuming the Havoc will (they didn't have the Havoc).

Tornado F4:
Was disappointed it's still front heavy, but I think I could over look it for this bow. It's super compact and the stock feels great. Feels very narrow and it just feels like a good quality bow. However it's still front heavy but not excessive. Pretty much like normal. So I would prolly take a TF4 over the Fury.

Carbon Elite:
This is the first Ten Point I've ever liked. Doesn't balance near as well as the Ventilator, but it's the best feeling TP bow I've shouldered by far. And of course there's no arguing Ten Point quality.

Again these thoughts are without shooting. Shooting could change everything AND fit & feel is a very individual thing. You should definitely decide for yourself. I am in NO WAY an expert.

Funny how what one person like and dislikes... See I LOVED the way the Fury held and balanced. Thought it was a great little bow that balanced great.

Exactly! This is why it's so great that there are many good bows out there to choose from. And such a variety of styles. Something for everyone.

Well please finish the post and shoot them BS.

I would if I thought I might buy one. I don't want to waste the owner's time when I know I'm not buying one. This review was strictly a fit & feel review. Actually it's not really a review at all, just my thoughts. Maybe I should have put this in a different room.

Buck_Slayer,

I don't think there is anything wrong with testing as many bows as you can to really know the differences. Besides the dealers know the down side to allowing these bows to be shot for free and the upside as well. Don't feel guilty.

You know I suppose you do have a point. I may not be buying one that day, but I might later. Or something else if I'm treated right.

I'm sure the owner would be more than willing. I may go back in a few weeks and shoot the Parker and the TP.
