Hey guys,
Thanks much for the responses to my post a couple days ago asking about the Venom X. I have another question and I didn't want to clutter up the other thread or have this missed so I'm starting a new one.
I had pretty much decided on getting a Venom X from Wyvern for the $1,000 package deal, but another option has popped up. It seems that in the upcoming Bass Pro/Cabelas sale that is supposed to start later this week, they'll have a Viper S415 package for $1,200. Given that I'd have to pay sales tax on the Viper, there would be about a $300 increase for that over the Venom (not to mention the "extras" Wyvern throws in, like broadheads and more arrows). The bows seem very similar other than their speed and I guess, the Viper has a stirrup/hanger deal on it. So my question is, do you guys think the extra 25fps velocity of the Viper is worth the $300 or so cost increase? I'm kinda thinking it isn't, but I'm not familiar with these bows so would appreciate any experienced-based input. That $300 would come close to buying me the Huskemaw 4x40 scope which I'm really interested in.
It looks like the Viper 415 may only be a BP/Cabelas new model and maybe none of you guys have shot it but I guess it could be similar to either the Viper 400 or 430, which have been around a little longer, and maybe some of you guys have used it?
Anyway, thanks in advance for your thoughts and input!
