i have been hunting for a couple of years, but have not hunted in a few due to moving to new states and need to find a place i was going to be for a while. all of the bows that i shot that hoyt bow just seemed to stand out in my mind it was smooth when i was pulling it back it did not seem to have that big drop off like the other bows that i shot. my biggest problem is i have a 31in draw length so that also limits me to what i can buy also. if you have any other bows that you would recommend willing to try any of them.
