Default The best compound for fingers shooter ?

Hello,

I'm looking for a reliable compound especially made for finger shooting, and I hesitate between :
1) Reflex Caribou
2) Hoyt Protec XT4000
3) Mathews Conquest 3

I have heard that the Caribou is a great bow for finger shooter, and very quiet.

What are your advices ?

Thank you !

Guilhem

On pure bang for your buck, I'd go with the Reflex Caribou.

I used to shoot fingers, howeverI now shoot a release, but on the same bow. Mine is a custom made (Dave Barnsdale) but the Hoyt with XT4000 limbs will be the same ATA as my setup and it shot real nice with fingers. The biggest thing is the longer ATA to be able to get the necessary room for your fingers and the Hoyt will offer you that room. The Caribou is made by Hoyt, but it's not going to be as long, although still a very good bow. Can't speak on the Mathews

If it were my choice, I'd go with the ProTec.

Personally, I would go w/ either the Caribou or an UltraTec w/ the XT 3000 limbs instead of the 2000. W/ the 3000, you get a longer ATA, almost 40" and a darn good bow on top of it.

GTE, if you have an average draw length(28-30")I would recommend the UltraTec with 2000 limbs. If you have a 32 plus draw the ProTec would fit the bill.
