Default New Bow Suggestions

Looking for a new bow which will be used for hunting. Have been looking at some Bowtech, Bear and Mathews. I had a Mathews before and was pleased with its performance. I want a smooth drawing, fast shooting bow with a solid back wall. (Am willing to spend the money for a nice bow). Any suggestions or advice?

The sky is the limit! Go and shoot a bunch and let the bow pick you. Most manufacturers make an excellent product so go shoot a bunch. Seriously, only you can pick the bow that will be the best for you.

x2 Let the bow pick you. The warranties and major brand names are all great extras.

I started with a Martin, went to PSE then Matthews, Hoyt and Bowtech and back to Hoyt. Last year I went with a G5 Prime, best bow I have ever shot.However, everybody shoots a little differently and each bow will feel different to them. Try them all, compare and then decide.

I love my High Country Iron Mace. Thing is Deadly! Try them all I went into store for one brand and came out with one I had never heard of. Find the one that you like and Buy it!
