So if dodge makes a truck that looks similar to Ford does that mean the copied them. NO. Just because one company made the 4 door extended cab and the others added it does not mean the others are junk or can't develop their own ideas. Some ideas are just very good and companies will follow. Bowtec may have come up with modern paraellel limbs and that is fine. It works so others will follow. Hoyts big advantage has always been the tec riser. Combine the two and I bet you have a great shooting bow. Everyone just needs to shoot what they like and not get so caught up in the brand name. Like others have said they are all great bows. Shoot what feels best to YOU.
