RE: favorite bow?
I started with a Hoyt ViperTec, then got sponsored by Pearson Archery, and got a Z-32 from them, so I have to be partial to them, but I really like both bows. I shoot the Pearson better, but the Hoyt shoots a lot smoother, especially since I added an STS to it the other day.
There are things that I like and don't like about each bow.
