Thats a good list of bow.
First thing I would definetly say is shoot them all. One thing tough about the bows you listed is that they are ALL GREAT PERFORMERS!!!! I have shot several Mathews awhile back when I was shopping for bows. They were great bows. Fast, quiet, smooth, basically, everything you want in a bow, BUT, they didn' t feel very good for me. I don' t know what it was, I have tried figuring it out but can' t, but, they just don' t feel right to me, so, they got scrapped off my list.
I shot a few of the new Hoyts and wow. They were amazing. They have a " good" feel to them. The grip as others have said is AMAZING, and it is by far the smoothest drawing bow, it is so smooth that I honestly can say that it wouldn' t be good to compare the Cam .5 system and a single cam system. It just isn' t fair. The bows were light and built amazingly. Quiet and fast with very little to no hand-shock. The only thing I didn' t like was that the weight of the bows seemed to be all in the riser. It wasn' t balanced in the limb weight/riser category.
I also shot the 2003 BowTech Patriot. Now that was just down right amazing to me. It was by far the quietest and most shock free bow I had felt. The draw cycle is slightly harsh compared to the Hoyt cam .5 system, but, like I said, it isn' t a fair comparrison. If you compare the Patriot' s infinity cam to any other single cam on the market, you will find it to be one of the smoother drawing cams out there. Like I said, this thing was ULTRA QUIET. I shot it in-doors in a building that was entirely quiet and it amazed me as to how quiet it was in there. The bow also screams. The bow I was shooting was shooting at 282 f.p.s with a 420 grain arrow at 70# draw with it set-up for hunting. The only thing beside the price tag that I didn' t like was the parrallel limbs. I just can' t get use to them, but, that is just me. If I liked that design or could get use to it, I would probablly own a 2003 Patriot now.
Well, then I shot a new BowTech MightyMite and words couldn' t describe that bow. It is small, light, quiet, shock-free, fast, built tough, ect. The bow is incredibly well balanced. The weight is evenly spread throughout the riser and limbs so it feels like you are holding less weight. The bow was quiet and shock-free without anything on it. The bow seemed VERY VERY VERY steady in my hands and I could just hold it on a tiny spot at full draw for a very long time. The draw cycle is smooth, even though BowTech gets a bad wrap about that. Well, I picked it up and it is now my PRIDE and JOY!!!!! I have it maxed out at 72# draw weight, shooting a 419.9 grain BlackHawk Vapor arrow with a 30" draw. I have one nock on the string along with a string loop, and it is pulling 302 f.p.s. through the chrono. Now, a 419.9 grain arrow shooting at 302 f.p.s. is giving me 85 foot pounds of KE and I am getting 0.5622497 lbs-sec of momentum. I have a Doinker 7.5" 9 ounce Stealth Hunter Stabilizer, Simms Limb Savers, Simms Virgin Teflon Cable Slide, and Simms Cable Rod Dampeners on this bow and let me tell you, this thing is AMAZINGLY quiet and shock free. I would go as far as to say that it is one of the quietest bows out there shooting fairly light arrows at that speed. I also still have to get my Simms String Leech' s, Simms Insulator Wrap, and Simms Mini-Accessory Limb Savers on it.
Check out the MightyMite too, along with the Hoyt RazorTec, and ANY OTHER BOW YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON. Then, choose the best shooting bow for you.
P.S., Then post pictures of your new BowTech
