Just curious to see who is shooting a 835 with the Mathews dampener. I picked one up last year and really like the gun. I also wasn't sure if the dampener would lessen the recoil of a 3 1/2 but to me it tames it quite a bit. Outfitted mine with a Carlson longbeard choke, bushnell trs 25, and 3 1/2" longbeard 6's. Can't wait to bust it out this year!
