I shot the Creed and Heli-m side by side about two weeks ago. The Creed DL was too long for me so bear that in mind. The Creed had the absolute best after shot feel of any bow I have ever shot. Dead, Dead in hand. With the DL too long I had a hard time with the valley but not an issue I don't think. The Creed shot very well, the Draw cycle was very smooth but a little different than the Heli-m. The weight was OK but I like a light thin bow and the Creed was a little to wide for my taste, but I liked it, alot. The Helim had a little different feel to it which I like better. The after shot was not a dead as the Creed but I liked the draw better and just the overall feel of the bow. I would rate them: Creed 9.8 Heli-m 9.9. but that is just a feel thing and has nothing to do with performance. I am in the market for a new bow but am holding out until I can shoot the ZXT and Chill. Go shoot them and I will guarantee you will see what I mean about the shot of the Creed, it is unbelievable sweet, but still liking the Heli-m .1 better.

Shot the helim, zxt, and drew back the creed. Didnt shoot the creed for a reason. The draw cycle was pretty stiff for me. The helim and zxt ran side by side. I still cant decide between the two!! Both were very very smooth on the draw and had very little vibration for being a bare bow. After accessories the vibe would he gone. I seriously want them both.
Anyone else think the draw cycle was stiff??? Or could it have been that it was only this particular bow? All three were within 1/2 a pound draw weight around 70 lbs.

I just purchased the Helim over the Creed. The only reason for the switch, from my MR7, for me was I wanted a more compact bow. The ZXT was not available but I did want to shoot it too. I plan on doing some mule deer and elk hunting this year and wanted something a little lighter and more compact ATA. Both shot great but in the end the Heli felt smoother and after I rigged it out, I am very glad I choose it, fantastic bow.

i own both both great bows
I like the weight of my heli-m has a great draw cycle, felt recoil is a bit more then I like in comparison to creed
creed has a better roll into the wall and enough of a decrease in recoil/vib that i think it's an improvement. could be the weight or the cam most likely both.
I always want two bows so the creed is my new bow and the heli-m is my back up
