I stand behind bowtech as an easy bow to use, i have not pulled back all of the hoyt bows but the ones i have pulled back have definately been harder to pull back at the same weight as the bowtech bows that i have pulled back. I had a bowtech allegiance last year then sold it for the destroyer which i shoot now...I am waiting to see what bowtech comes out with this year but if i like it, i might be wanting to sell my destroyer(8 months old) for $600.
