I agree,an elite hunter is an excellent bow. had a Mathews,absolutely hated it. bought a hoyt,and thought that it was the best bow ever made. until I shot an elite hunter,and saw first hand what was wrong with the hoyt and Mathews. but,with that being said. everybody is different. go shoot as many as you can,pick the one that feels the best to you. regardless of what the name on it says. if its comfortable and fits you,you will love shooting it.
