RE: New Bow
Shotgun, all you're realistically going to get in the way of answers with a question like that is everyone's favorite brand. Do you want me to tell you I think you should buy a BowTech? Well, sure I do... 
Seriously, what are you looking for in a bow? What characteristics do you find appealing? What's your age, draw length, and preferred style of hunting? (e.g., stalking vs. treestand hunting. Western hunting vs. Eastern style?)
There's A LOT that should go into choosing a bow, and ultimately you need to shoot several different bows from several different manufacterers to see what fits YOU best.

RE: New Bow
Choose a few bows that are in your price range and that you think you may consider. Shoot all of them and then make a decision. Thats the only way to go. Greg is right all your gonna get on this post is the brand that each individual owns. thats not help you at all.

RE: New Bow
A few weeks ago I searched the world for a new bow. I shot everyone I could get my grubby paws on. Matthews, Hoyt, Bowtech, Diamond, Browning, PSE. In the end I bought a Bowtech, I liked it's fit & feel best.
