Default RE: Hoyt, Reflex, or Alpine?

Hoyt first, Reflex second, and Alpine the last. Just my opinion. I have always shot Hoyt bows, not because I am a brand basher, but I enjoy their techs and performance. I have shot many a bow in my days, from Bowtech to Matthews to Parker. I compete as well as bowhunt, and I have found the accuracy, forgiveness, and stand down output to be where I need to have it with the Hoyt systems. I have never had problems with my bows, both in maintenance and performance. Some people on here and throughout the archery business will defend to their brands, espeically the big 3-Hoyt, Matthews and Bowtech. For me, Bowtech didn't fill the awesome void I needed for comeptition and bowhuntin, and Matthews was too little of a bow. Reflex were ok bows, in my mind, but again wasn't for me. And that is what you want- a bow that works for you, feels good in the hand, and has no problem delivering the speed, knockdown, mechanical performance, and accuracy that is needed to complete that shot. Hoyt is for me, but not saying Reflex, Alpine, Matthews, Bowtech so on and so on are not for you. I would shoot all 3, maybe 6 total manufacturers to get a feel what all the top bows feel to you.
In the end, each archer, whether bowhunting or comepetitive shooting, will have a slight difference in shooting ability, draw ability, and comfortability in the bow and what you can do with the bow.
