i used to work for a archery dealer and the only problems with hoyt and bowtech is customer service. there terrible. its hard to get in touch with them if you need anything... back on parker and mission great bows good customer service low prices (your not paying for a big name)... now with a name and a good bow. Matthews has to be the top choice. but once again you are paying for a name. awesome bows. fast shotting. accurate. little to no problems/maintence... theres a lot to look at. my suggestion go out to a few dealers and shot some bows and find something that feels good to you.
