Shoot as many bows as you can. Be your own man and buy what " you" shoot the best. I was shooting a Hoyt magna tech and piled many deer up with it. Tryed the Mathews Lx and for me, I shoot it better and smoother than my Hoyt. Like many others have said, it' s hard to buy a bad bow now days if you keep an open mind and shoot many. LOL.
