RE: Need some advice
I got the Equinox (Egomax with thumbhole stock) but it was to much for me without cocker. I could draw it but about 6 times then my bum shoulder ached. I got a cocker but didn't like to use it. So I got the Vortex. It's one inch shorter and 25 lbs less draw weight, it does make a difference for me. Cocking with a ratcheting aid is a bummer. Slow and noisy but if you have to, you have to. Suggest you hold off until the wing mends, then determine how much you can pull before investing in bow that needs a cocker. And by all means try a cocker. I'm guessing you won't want to go through the hassle if you don't have to.
I also shoot a Parker Terminator. Great bow. 150 draw weight. Much easier to cock. It's smaller all around. Great safety that makes dry firing very hard to do. It's my stand bow because it's easier to handle in a tree. It has a great trigger. The downside is that it is a compound. I like to mess with the gear so making strings and cables is actually fun for me. If you have to rely on someone else to string yours it will cost you over $50 for just the stings and cables, plus labor. Same goes for Ten Point.
For ease of maintenance, Excal gets the nod hands down. Also for accuracy if you get you bolts set up with the right FOC. Ask yourself if you need a bow strong enough to kill an elephant. If the answer is no, you may want to have a look at the Vortex, Phoenix or even the Vixen. I though it was macho to get the biggest, fastest. Realized it's overkill on deer, harder on strings, bolts and targets and really not that much fun to shoot either if you have to crank beteen shots. Good luck.
Since you excluded the Sryker, I would recommend Excal. Parker and Ten Point. All three are great bows and have great customer service. I'd shy away from Barnett and Horton FWIW.
