I think what you will find also is there are two particular typesof attitudein Compound Bowhunters. You have your Smooth drawing, Super stealth whisper quiet,forgiving type of Bowshooters...Then on the other side you have your Raw power speed junkies (Speed Bows) Types

Your going to find that most of the top Compound bow manufacturers all make great bows. One thing they all have in common is the variety of choices you have...Short ATA? Long ATA? Forgiving? Fast, but not so smooth? Smooth, but not so fast?

I like power and Speed! Give me those two things at the same time, And I am going to love it!

I shoot a 2003 Ultra 2 Mathews (speed bow) What caught my eye back then was the 320 IBO speed, along with the fact that it just felt good in my hands.

IMO, its more important that you choose your style first, then pick your bow.
