It's all personal preference as all the modern top quality bows do an excellent job. Of course blackstick was joking about bowtech (or any handheld bow for that matter) going plumb thru 2 elephants. I'm personally a diehard mathews man but I'm still going to keep shooting my "old" switchback xt. Just remember-all advertizing and brand hype/personal preference aside-it's the shooter's skill that matters a LOT more than exact bow brand/model/type. The ONLY way to know which is best for YOU is go to a pro shop and compare/shoot them all side by side. One word of caution however,I would stay away from the ultra speed bows as they are less forgiving and more finicky to shoot with anything less than perfect form/tuning. What a lot of people misunderstand is speed bows WILL shoot just as accurate as other bows IF you practice perfect form/tuning or try them from shooting machine. It's just harder to shoot them as accurate is all,therefore they're just not my "cup of tea". Sure,I would love to have a new drenlin dxt,and could afford it,but would it improve my shooting ability over my current level with my switchback xt-nope,not at all-same as any of the other brands/models.
