i am going to buy a new bow for this years bow season. I am planning on going up to the dealers to shoot a couple of bows. i have a couple in mind but i dont want to miss anything. Money is not an issue so if you could post your top four bowsand maybe a reason why your number one is your number one i would greatly apperciate it.
thanks in advance

1.ELITE GTO-JUST BOUGHT ONE AND LOVE IT. IT'S #1 ON MY LIST DO TO: LIGHT WEIGHT, GOOD BRACE HEIGHT, NO HAND SHOCKAND SMOKIN FAST.
2.BOWTECH ALLEGIENCE- SAME LOOK AND DESIGN AS THE GTO, JUST A LITTLE SLOWER..STILL A GREAT BOW.
3.MATHEWS DXT-REALLY SHORT AND HANDLES GREAT.
4.PSE X FORCE..JUST OVERALL THE FASTEST BOW I'VE SEEN IN OUR CHRONO. IF YOU ADD A STS TO IT...REALLY NICE SHOOTER AS WELL...A LITTLE ON THE HEAVY SIDE.
This is a hard question to answer and it depends whether you will use just for bow hunting or hunting and 3-d or spots.
Bow hunting
#1 Bowtech general- smooth, no hand shock and fast, only negative is its a little heavy
#2 Matthews DXT- very small a-t-a, light, and smooth as well as fast, most expensive of mentioned bows
#3 Elite GTO- light, fast and smooth only concern is how this company will fare, not as big as Bowtech or Matthew but this really doesnt mean its not a good bow.
#4 Diamond Black Ice- great all around bow, light, small, smooth, just a great hunting bow, while not on the cutting edge of technology it can be had for a great price if you shop around
Hunting and 3-D
#1 Bowtech 82nd Airborne- One heck of a fast bow, harsh draw cycle, fairly light weight, real nice in-velvet finish and great camo options as well as target colors
#2 PSE X-Force- basically a tie with the 82nd as far as speed, finish is not as nice, but a great overall fast bow.
#3 Elite GTO-This bow is really nice, dealers are harder to find then the bigger companies and production is slower but that may be a good thing.
#4 Bowtech 101st Airborne- Longer brace and a-t-a than the 82nd so its a little slower but it should be more forgiving to shoot, another fast one with great finish options.
Of course this is just my opinion and i have not extensively shot all these bows, you should shoot as many as you can and go with what feels right to you. Todays bows are unbelievable and its hard to make a bad decision.
Mathews Drenalins the regular version, the short version (DXT), or long version (DrenLD)
Hoyts Kateras, both the regular and XL version
Bowtech General, unless you want a speed bow then a 82ndwould be a better choice.
PSE X Forces,
