I bought an Insanity from there Mr. Matt Smith help me set it up and worked 1 on 1 with me dialing in my HHA. I'm super happy with the work and my arrows look awesome all wrapped up! Thanks!

GREAT looking bow and your gonna love that quiver, it is only one i have found better than tight spot, might want to do a little chrono testing with those string silencers... there is quite a bit of info on archerytalk about how sensitive the insanity is to any increase in weight on the string besides peep and loop, i believe some testing with chrono showed that if you took one of the speed knocks of the string on each end that the string silencers wouldnt cause any significant speed loss but if you put them on without changing anything else I think the avg loss was about 10 fps, the stock string stop is super loud but you can get a bowjax enhancer for it and it really really helps, also one other performance thing you might want to try is getting rid of that brass nock once you get your nock height set perfectly and tie in a nock and you will probably see a small increase in fps as well, so far a lot of ppl are getting the nock height to tune best pretty close to parallel (i myself was worried to go all the way parallel because there wouldnt be enough downward pressure on the rest), im sure you know this but on the overdrive binary system you actually measure your center shot for your rest and then yoke tune it to perfect center shot (vs adjusting the rest side to side) and let me tell you it is amazing how good it will tune like this mostly due to the limited amount of riser torque this bow has at full draw i think, if you shoot with a low wrist you may want to look at a full torqueless grip because like me you may have a hard time not heeling this particular bow no matter how far you turn your hand out, but if you shoot with a high wrist you will probably really like the grip just like it is, the back wall is incredible isnt it?
 
They are good looking bows...look sharp. There seems to be a love/hate relationship with people that have shot them....either they love them or hated it. I shot the longer version Insanity down at Turks but I actually didn't like the draw cycle of it. I favored last year's Invasion over the Insanity between the two...but compared to other bows out this year, neither of them made my top 5 list. I personally thought the Diamond Outlaw drew smoother and shot better than its high dollar BowTech brothers for half the cost.

But that's why there are so many companies and models of bows..
everyone is different in what they like and how they feel. Good luck with it this fall. I'm trying to decide between an Elite Answer or Mathews MR7.
 
The best bow of all time from the best shop around. Perfect combination on that bow. Let me know how you like that HHA. been thinking of switching over myself.
 
I know that I had customer purchase a Insanity CPX and he demanded that I remove his dampeners off his cables. We chronographed it before and after and by removing them the bow lost 9fps. As far as removing speed knock sets from the string I would not advise it. There is a reason why all these items are placed where they.

Why would he want to take the dampeners off his cable?
 
The link above is a long read but really good... here is the part about silencers on the string:

Also, while on the topic, I'd like to note how very sensitive this bow is to string weight. This is something to consider for hunters in particular. With the stock strings I put cat whisker silencers on the ends of each serving and in the normal mass. The bow dropped 8 to 10 fps!! I was able to get that drop significantly less by reducing the number of speed nocks to one per side and placing the silencers on the ends of the servings. This netted a 4fps loss but did help quiet the bow. The point is if you are going to put silencers on the string without compensating for the added weight expect dramatic speed losses. I've never personally seen a bow this sensitive to string weight. In the pictures you ca see that I came to the same conclusion Bowtech did...leave the silencers off the string or you'll suffer some speed loss.
 
Bowtech

Very true but all bows are this way, some are just more sensitive than others. I've also checked the fps difference with different peeps, kisser buttons, and draw lengths. The way I look at it the people at Bowtech have it figured out.

Have had some tuning issues,cam lean,and strings are junk. I like Mathews and gonna try to get them at the shop. But look at the quality of strings and cables they use.

I'm pretty open minded about testing and tuning methods, we should get together some time.

The HHA is unreal I've never shot better and further than I am with this bow. I'm shooting a 429grain arrow at 331fps! 104lbs. of energy! Its amazing how you dial in that roller and no matter where you shoot from its within an inch everytime!
