i got one and i really like it. the only drawback ive found is the bottom brush wears fast. ive probably shot threw mine 150-200 times and the bottom brush is so worn that its seriously effecting my shot. any idea of were i can find replacement brushes and how much?

Mine came with replacement brushes. I bought one a while back and have shot it about as much as you have and it is not wearing that fast. Look on their website or even ebay and you should be able to find some.

Those brushes shouldn't be wearing that bad that fast, you sure your fletching isn't hitting the brushes?

I took mine back a week after I bought it (for the same reason) and bought a drop away....it's just worth it.

You can find them at BPS, Cableas ect for about 10 bucks. Just a word of advice to keep the brushes longer lasting, rotate them. Get the L wrench and move them periodically. You will get more shots and even wear by doing so. Be careful when backing the screw in or out, if you misalign, you will mess the threads and the brush is no longer any good to go.150-200 shots sounds about right as far as wear. Just rotate more often and you should be good.

I have one on my bear element with about that many shots through it, and it is not worn that much.
You can buy the replacement brushes at cabelas
