It actually came down to the Alphamax32, Katera and the Monster for me too. I wasn't able to shoot an AM32 because I didn't find any around Bham. I went with the Monster and soo far I love it. The only negatives for me is that the draw is a little more harsh than what I was expecting. I've always pulled 70lbs and I felt at first until I got use to it that I had to man up to pull it.

I have had mine chronographed but my buddy is getting 321 fps with his and my set up is similar. It's very fast. You'll probably use one pin up to 30-35 yards.

I have no problem with it as a hunting bow, I've heard folks say that the Alphamax is more of a hunting bow but I can't speak for that.

Check out the Katera too.
