Default RE: IF YOU HAD A CHOICE

This is a &quot;no-brainer&quot; <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.

Mathews Q2, 34 inch axle to axle length, 7-7.5 inch brace height, 308 IBO speed, Price: $570-$650

Hoyt Havoctec, 31.5 inch axle to axle length, 7.5 inch brace height, 300 IBO speed (Versacam), Price: $570-$650

Reflex Denali, 34 inch axle to axle length, 8.5 inch brace height, 295 IBO speed (Versacam), Price $330-$400.

The Denali is slightly slower than the other two bows but it is also has a larger brace height which should make it more forgiving. The price difference is huge!!..and if price is even a small issue then the Denali should be your choice.

But, as someone stated above, the &quot;feel&quot; of the bow in your hands is extremely important. The Denali and Havoctec are probably going to feel similar because they have a very similar grip...the Mathews will feel entirely different. The draw cycle between the Havoctec and Denali will feel very similar because they both use, basically, the same cam. The Mathews will feel different.

...and, if you don't pay an arm and a leg for the bow itself then you will have money left over to pay for some decent accessories....arrows, sights, rest, etc....

Just my opinion....
