Just remember, it's not the bow, it's the shooter. I won many 3D events with my exact hunting setup. The only difference was the release.
Todays bows have speed, especially if your looking up a new Bowtech. Set the Bowtech up as your hunting setup, go out and shoot 3D with it. You'll do fine.
That being said, I totally agree with Matt / PA on this one too. Except his number one, that answer depends on which class you shoot in.
Your response got me thinking of the best I ever shot in a 3-d tourney.I LOVE my Carter thumb release but my best ever shoot was with my Tru Ball Short and Sweet II.
I absolutely smoked an open class warmup for Bedford at a local shoot(I don't think anyone was within 10 points of me)and let me tell you,it was tough but I was just in the zone and using full slide bar,long stabilizer and all but I had my cheap $50.00 release smoking.
That goes back to the shooter remark,not the equipment,although that helps too.
