RE: Cam and a half? Hoyt versus Mathews?
Look at what you personally want the bow to do for you. The type of shooting you do the most of should be considered first. Long range shooting requires a mid to heavy bow with more brace and ATA. Shooting at called in turkeys out of a blind on the ground might find you looking at a 29 inch light weight bow because of all the other things you have to carry in also. 3-D' s need forgiving accuracy and speed for shooting outdoors and in possibily high winds and rain. They will all work but some will do better in certain cases.
