1. Bowtech Guardian. grip felt good, draw was smooth. I was surprised to feel a bit of vibration. speedy bow
2. Hoyt Katera, very smooth draw, 60lbs seemed easy. small vibration.
3. Bowtech General same as guardian but dead in hand.
4. pse xforce ss. this bow is little, 26 inches, draw felt like 70lbs, but it was dead in the hand. Holds nice at full draw. Fun bow to shoot due to the size and speed.
5. Ross Cardiac and G5 Quest 31 inch ax. both had smooth draws, dead in hand. nice price tag on these bows.
6. Parker Blackhawk, nice bow smooth and dead in hand. this bow is quick. nice price tag
7. alpine silverado, grip was kind of odd, draw felt like I was pulling less than 60 lbs. At full draw the bow felt like 95% letoff, very easy to hold. dead in hand
8. Diamond Black Ice. 60lbs felt like 50. very and I mean very smooth draw. dead in hand after the shot.
One man's opinion.......
Guardian- I didn't like the draw. Seemed like A LOT of cam lean.
Silverado (Sabre)-Great bow-FAST-Accurate-Draw was a little harsh-The camo finishon mine was bad..Alpine said that "it happends" and did NOTHING.
Cardiac- Not as fast as I expected. Nice draw. Well built.
X-Force(dream Season)-Nice bow! Super Fast, but suffer at the draw. Some shock, but do-able.
Out of the bows listed I would shoot the Parker (I always have a soft spot for Parker's) before you buy. But, the Ross/G5's are the best built IMHO. The Black Ice is a great bow too, but the Marquis is a touch nicer for the extra $35-$40.
