I have always owned mckenzies and have gotten my money's worth, but my next purchase will probably be a glendale. I hate pulling the arrows from the mckenzie. If you have a bar of soap handy and run the first several inches of arrow over it, it makes removal pretty easy. The mckenzie I have now is the "carbon" I think and I bought it on a trip to bass pro last year going to get a glendale. Bass pro put the wrong price on it so I got it on "sale". I mainly just shoot the block.
