i just got a new martin phantom magnum and love it! im shooting a 450 grain arrow but only pulling 48 pounds, i havnt gotten it chronographed yet but my dad and i are estimating it to be around 225-230. i dont know much about bows but i think thats pretty good for only pulling 48 pounds... i plan on cranking up the draw weight once i get really comfortable w/ the bow.. ive only had it set up for about 3 days know and im going to have to practice quite a bit.im not sure about mathews or hoyt.. but i do know that my dad has a hoyt... i think its a carbonite extreme( or something to that extent) and he really likes it. he has had it for a couple of years so i think he is looking to upgrade in a season or two.
