well Pparrish I sugguest you try a few differernt bows before making your final decision about what bow to eventually get. lots of good manufactures and they all have their own pros and cons such as Hoyt, mathews, bowtech, darton,etc.... but the bowtech is the finest in my opinion
it has a great new cam system for speed and cam synchronization. it's quiet, no valley and don't even think about creeping the string or your arm will be torn off! I love it!!
