Even though the Magnums have a shorter brace height, the extra axle to axle length seems to make the forgivness issue a wash. Feedback we've gotten so far has been VERY good. Never hurts to have another 10 IBO fps either (we found it to actually be 14 fps compared to the Extreme with the same setup). Great hybrid 3D / Hunting bow, plus the new Z Series cam costs have dropped $25 so making draw length adjustments doesn't hurt quite so bad. Ship times are still fairly long, so if you're thinking about getting one you need to call your local shop and get on their list. Hope that helps..
