RE: What bows are the "big three"??
The big three would be Bowtech, Hoyt and Mmmmmmmmmmmm. BUT, I shoot a Darton. I love it and won't change. I can afford any bow I want, therefore I bought the one I liked best. Doesn't get much simpler. They all work just fine. You can have a great bow if you buy anything mid range price and up. PSE is probably the worlds best for service and their bows are great. They've just lost a lot of ground in the last few years. The products are still superb. Don't limit yourself to the "TOP THREE". You might miss out on a real love affair. Shoot several.
