Just head to the shop and shoot as many as possible in your price range. The one you want will literally jump out at you.

Definitely fits the bill for what you're looking for.

However, Mobow is [and I hate to say it]...right.

Do what you can to shoot as many models by as many manufacturers as possible. The bow will choose you.

I shot a lot of bows the last month or so and was ready to pull the trigger on a Ross 331. Butthen i shot a Hoyt Vectrix and was completely sold. It was smooooooth, reasonably fast, quiet, and no handshock. The price was a little more than the Ross, but when we are spending this kind of money on bows these days it feels good to buy the one that really fit you the best. Try them all out like i did and make your decision on what feels best to you. It seems everyone makes great bows, just have to figure out what shoots the best for you. I love picking out a new bow, a lot too choose from, lots of fun.

I shot severial new bows last night.The Guardian,Vectrix,Trycon,The Truth, and the Ridgeline.The vectrix was my top pick.The Guardian was nice and smooth and quiet,but hard to work on.(removal of the limbs to change strings )The truth was a solid bow for the money.Not as smooth or quiet as some of the others,but far less money also.The Reflex Ridgeline was a good bow for the money.Not as smooth,you feel the cams roll over the top,strong wall with a short valley.You feel the power behind this bow.Reminded me of the Hoyt Redlind HO cams.It just had a powerful feel to it.Go shoot a few for yourself.I had fun and was not interested in buying a new bow.I'm thinking hard about it now.There was some nice bows.
