I shot it at the ATA but not since then. It is heavy at 8 lbs naked but like the 360 Assassin, once it's shouldered, you really don't feel the weightiness of it. Winds up real easy but slight more effort than the 360 Assassin. You get the fancy pants trigger that you won't complain about and the Quick Loc feature is genius! There's no doubt in my mind that you can assemble it in the dark. The front end seems to just fall together. It's a cool bow :thumbup:

Mr Romano (AKA Badabing), the ATA has been and gone a long time ago. So no pictures for you, one year! :eusa-doh:

....I realized that after I sent it.....but (in all honesty) was the the A420 too long for you to hold and keep on target? :eusa-naughty:

I came around the corner from the excal booth and I though Don was pulling up the anchor to blow the cob webs off the ol' pirate ship. Then I realized he was shooting the A420

Ps. I like how you've coined it the A420.

..... I got a chance to shoulder and shoot the A420TD yesterday at a pro shop where Bowtech and Excalibur was hosting an event.... if I didn’t have the A360 I could see myself lusting after it....I would see myself doing a complete makeover on it from Drstirrup bumpers to a crossbones scope to a munch mount, to self made Saturn V arras... yep I would dress up that baby real nice....

..... but since I now happily sit with the A360 I do not feel any need to lust and break one of the Ten Commandments :eusa-naughty:

.....nope, not I!

So when’s the new 420 coming in. I’m hoping that when I go up to Cabela’s next week they are still not in stock, I want to shoot the 440 and the 360 TD from there who knows what happens.
