This is getting good........let the great debate start up again. Hoyt, no no Mathews......Hoyt, no no Fred Bear......Hoyt, no no PSE.......Hoyt, no no Diamond! Lets not open up this can of worms about who makes a better bow. IT IS ALL ABOUT PERSONAL PREFERENCE! If that make and model doesnt meet your expectations dont buy it. I do believe no two bows are madethe same so you need to take care of your own equipment. I have had a hoyt for six years and taken enough deer to feed an army but I do believe my bow was as good as it gets. Early season shootings guys always comment on how smooth my bow is and how quiet it is so I would buy a new one if the price is right. I am in the mood right now to try a Diamond but I will never have anything bad to say about Hoyt!
