Icurrently shoot a Martin Phantom and have for about 4-5 years, my problem is I can't practice as long asI really want to because of fatique to to a left elbow injury. Iam looking forthe smoothest bowIcan findthat has the least amount of recoil and vibration without spending $700-800 on a bow.Any suggestions would be appreciated

Definately look at ROSS archery. I would try to get a cr model rather than the new cardiac if you have to have extremely smooth, but the cardiac is still very smooth. I think the 07 cr models are like 599 and the cardiac is 699

i like my parker it was little recoil and vibration and a good stabilizer and same lim savers i like my ThunderBloxs by NAP better

Diamond Black Ice

Ross is hard to overlook. They really caused quite a stir last year with their introduction. They are very shooter friendly. But if 6 bills is still too steep, check out the Reflex line as well. The Growler is quite an awesome bow this year. Though the Reflex aren't quite as smooth as their Hoyt counterparts, they are pretty good. Of the 2 I mention, Ross is the better of them.

I have heard bad things about Ross Archery, as far as backing up their bows if something is wrong,etc. Don't know formyself though.

New mission bows a newer bow company a spin-off of Matthews. Smooth as silk and starting at 339 wont break the budget, little handshock, noise w/ a forgiving brace height. Also doesn't lack for speed w/ 305+

The smoothest bow I've ever drawn/shot is the Oneida. It's an odd design but it really is super smooth.

The new mission bows are NOT smooth. They are very harsh actually with very little valley in them.

For $400 you can get a Bengal from martin. The M-Pro cam is smooooooth. That is what I am hunting with this year.
