There are a lot of other good brands too, so don't quit with the short list given above. Also look at PSE, Darton, etc etc. Pull it, shoot it and find what you like that feels right. Of all the questions ask I'll just answer one. You don't need an overdraw for hunting. The couple feet per second faster speed you get from one is sacrificing something else. Shorter lighter arrows translate to more bow noise, more wear and tear on the bow and a setup that's just a little more finicky to shoot. MHO
