Hey GERM; I started out shooting a golden eagle years ago,switched over to PSE,because 65% letoff.shot these a good while.then in 97 switched over to mathews for 80% letoff and it was just a superor bow.I am now in the process of buying a bowtech,but not because of the name.When i decided i wanted a new bow i shot all the top brands newest bows,hoyt,pse,mathews,bowtech,and decided on the commander from bowtech because it shot really well and had everything i was looking for in a bow,speed,comfort,queitness,it was a dream to shoot.point is when i buy a bow i buy what feels right for me at the time although i won't buy a bow if it feels good in my hands but does'nt perform up to my standards.
