Not that I'm a PSE fan, lol

I've owned Martin, PSE, Matthews, Bowtech and Hoyt, I now shoot a G5 Prime, and while it is not on the vote list, it definitely gets my vote.

I would order directly from the factory. That way you can take advantage of their full customized bow options.

I would yes!

Hoyt's just don't shoot well for me, and they feel just awful in my hand.

Out of the ones listed, I had to go with Bowtech.

But I have always been a PSE fan personally.

I acquired my first bowtech less than a year ago and I am really happy with it.

If I picked up another bow I would look at heir offerings for sure.

Ya. I went from browning to pse to bowtech to high country for a season and then back to bowtech. They really do make a quality product. I can't see going away from them. If I did it might be for a hoyt. Then I'd likely end up just buying another bowtech though

I currently have 2 Destroyer 350's, both 70 lbs limbs. One black and one camo. My black one is marginally more accurate than Leftycanucks. Lol. I guess we'll have to see next weekend though! However, neither of our 350's compare to Wctbowtech's invasion! That thing is amazing!

Surprised on Mathews and APA ...however that most likely has a bearing on what the main dealers were stocking....I see APA rising in near future with bows like the M6 that is smooth at a smokin 357 FPS...
