I used this page when researching my bow, which was a 2007 model.

Looks like their database stops at 2007, but you may find some of the information helpful.
nothing is like actually holding the bow and shooting it.. the internet is only good for a bow you like the look of.. otherwise you gotta get out and actually grab one and shoot it.. i bought my first bow for looks from online.. it was a bear lights out.. great shooting bow and quiet.. BUT.. i hated how it felt in my hand.. i then went to a shop and grabbed the psw bowmadness that i have now.. i never even thought about pse but when i grabbed this one and shot it i bought it.. im not a fanboy of any brand (but there are some i WOULD NOT buy) .
I've shot PSE's for about 20 years,my favorite was my first mach flite 4,over 300 fps and only used one site pin for any range. I was really thinkin' about getting a new Mathews,but then I decided needed a new rifle so I'll keep using my fire storm a few more seasons.
Thanks for all the opinions. I understand that I'll need to go in and shoot em to find out which one feels right, but I didn't want to go into it blind. I like the feel of my Parker, but I know there are other faster, lighter, and quieter bows out there. Plus, the faster speeds will let me drop a couple pins since the 300+ fps bows use the same pin for 15-30 yards, or so I've read. I'm also looking to increase the draw weights. When I got my Parker, 60# draw seemed heavy enough. Now I can shoot it for hours on my range without getting sore shoulders 2 years later, so I figured maybe it's time to step it up a notch.
Yeah, I considered that too. I just think a little more speed and some additional range would be nice. I have an outdoor range with 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, and 50 yard shooting positions, and I can group 5 in 6" or less on everything out to the 40-45 yard positions. At 15020, I have to specifically move my aim point so I don't strip the fletchings off the spent arrows. I'd probably do just as well at the 50 yard, but at the slower speeds, the cross winds seem to have more of an affect on the flight of the arrow.
