Default RE: Time for a new bow - need some help.

Obviously there are way too many variables involved with your "personal" set-up for anyone to give you an exact answer on which bow to purchase. I was just in the market for a new bow about a year ago. Here are my suggestions.

If your looking to increase your speed significantly at 65lbs, you may want to look into the Bowtech line. Very fast, good shooting bows. However, in my experience with them, I just did not like the way they felt and shot. Not the smoothiest ride available, but still an excellent bow.

If your looking for a forgiving, smooth shooting bow, check out Mathews. You want be able to touch the speed of the bowtech, but you should be able to tell a significant difference in vibration and noise of the shot. You really could not go wrong with either choice in my opinion.

Of course, with the top end models of Bowtech and Mathews(Patriot and Legacy) you may quickly go over your spending limit after adding accessories if any. However, the "lower" end models available in my opinion are just as good. Hope this helps.
