Honestly, there are very few " bad bows" on the market today. The main thing is to pick a bow that you are comfortable with. Forget about all the hype and advertising and boasting by guys that own certain bows. Just go with what feels right. If the Havotec feels right, you made the right choice. Too much is put into the advertising these days. Like Mathews saying they win more archery tourneys than any other brand. Is it true, sure if you look at there fine print. It says Male Pro and Women' s Pro divisions. Now, go to one of those tourneys and see what bow is shot the most. It' s Mathews. If you have more people shooting for you than other brands, I guess you would win more tourneys!!

I personally shoot a Hoyt Pro Tec and a Martin Cougar Mag and I wouldn' t trade either of them.

Bottom line is when buying a bow, don' t read these posts to form opinion, don' t watch hunting videos to see who is shooting what, don' t read advertisements and take them too seriously and don' t listen to Billy Bob at the range to hear him brag about his bow. How many guys actually say (either on these posts or in person) " I bought Brand X bow and it' s junk." Very rare. Just go to the shop with an open mind and test as many bows as possible. Choose what feels right, not what looks right or what brand is more popular.

Like I said, you really can' t go wrong with many of the bows on the market these days.
