PSE and Hoyt are both great brands, the way technology has been every year in the archery industry I would go with something that was built in the lady few yeas. Keep in mind that they recommend that you change your bowstrings every 2 years and even more often then that for the avid shooter. So if you find a used bow that is a few years old with the stock string on it keep it in mind you might have the extra expense of replacing the set of strings.
