I think the top 3 are Bowtech, Hoyt, and Mathews. Those are also top dollar bows. A step down is Diamond, Reflex, Mission, and Bear. I've owned all the top 3. I shot Hoyt for 2 years, Mathews for 6 years, and I've shot Bowtech since 03, only been on Staff since Dec. 06. No one can can tell you which bow is best because what you need to look for is what is the best Bow YOU. Make a list of what you expect from your bow Quiet? Shock Free? Forgiving? Speed? etc. List them in order of importance to YOU. Then try to shoot the bows that are best designed to fit those needs. Ultimately only YOU can decide which is the best bow for you. Just enjoy the search and then enjoy the Great sport of Bowhunting/Archery!!
