want to buy a new bow
Hello everyone. I want to buy a new bow for hunting and would like everyone's input. I want a bow in the 60# to 70# range. It does not have to be crazy fast. All I want is a bow that is quiet and smooth but most of all I want a bow with the least amount of maintenance or adjustments. Any ideas guys?
Good luck

dnk,
Check out this website on all the makes/models of bows. Sort them out, whichever way, then read about them andthen decided what one would be best for you.

THEN... go try out the bows you picked out from the website and see if they are what you want.

There are so many bows that it boggles the mind. Bow shops want to sell you what they stock or what they can easily get. Most bows are pretty good for a guy like me. 
The most important quality I am looking for is low or no maintenance. There is no information on this quality except from you guys and your experience. I bought my Bennelli, Excalibur and Savage muzzle loader for those qualities. Sooooooooo guys, any thoughts?

I think I will check out the BowTech but I think I will also lurk around all the posts to see what everyone complains about. The idea of slaving two cams/wheels together is great.
MilDotMaster, how long has BowTech been doing that and is there anyone else that does it?
