Isn' t it awesome that there are so many great bows out there now? I would give the best of the best to the Mathews Q2XL but its a bit heavy for tote' n around. The new Hoyt Utra-tec has really impressed me as well. Now since I don' t have to pick just one bow (lucky guy) I use the Mathews SQ-2 for most hunting (I think it is the quietest and most manuerverable bow Mathews makes...its also a h#$% of a shooter...last two turkeys were at 35 and 33 yards in the head). I use the Hoyt UT and Q2XL for 3D and an MQ-1 for spots.
