I've had a High Country for 11 years. The only problem I had out of it was a noise I couldn't identify when drawing it back. I sent itin about 9 years ago and they put a new set of limbs on it no questions asked. Since then I have killed many a deer with it and shot many a 3D tournament with it with no problems whatsoever. I would not hesitate to buy another one today. I don't know why they get such a bad rap. I actually dry fired one of the carbon riser bows accidentally at a show and the bow suffered no ill effects. It was a Carbon 4 Runner.

Hoyt also makes a very nice bow.
