I agree with the other guys. I started out with Golden Eagle. I shot a lot of deer with that bow. In 1998 I sold it and bought a Mathews Z-Max. In 2003 I sold it and bought a Mathews Q2. This year 2010, because of 2 shoulder surgeries I have been forced to go with a lower draw weight so I wanted to go with a super fast bow with a lot of kinetic energy so when I lowered the weight I could still be fast and have a lot of punch. I chose a Mathews Monster. I have never had any problems with any of them and have sure harvested a lot of critters with them. Shoot what you feel comfortable with and most importantly, what you have confidence in. If you don't have confidence in your equipment, it can effect your shooting big time. Good Luck in whatever you decide.
