Default If You Could Only Have One

If you could only have one bow, for hunting and target archery, what would you pick, and why?

Warden41272,

I think my favorite bow would be the one I currently shoot, the Hoyt Oasis. I have always preferred longer bows and the Hoyt, though it is ten years old, really works well for me. Long brace height, smooth forgiving eccentrics, and just the right speed for easy tunibility. Having said all that, since the bow is ten years old, I have been thinking about getting something else and the Bowtechs have caught my eye, although I have always shot Hoyt.

Blessings.....Pastorjim

Hoyt 38 Pro with cam 1/2, xt 2000 limbs. Parallel limb bows don't work as well for target as traditional bows with non-parallel limb design. So if I'm gonna shoot my indoor spot stuff, and hunt, this is the bow I'll take every time.

Well, if the specs are every bit as true then I reckon IT WILL BE the Bowtech Air Raid for me!

I vote my 101st in there. But in regardsto general characteristics, a 35 to 36 inch bow with good speed and some forgiveness.

Thanks for the responses. I'm thinking of the Hoyt Alphamax 35, Katera XL, or the High Country Speed Pro. The HCA is the shortest of bunch, but after the 28-inch PSE X-Force TS (phenomenal bow, btw...I just think I want a longer ata bow) it'll seem a mile long. I've still got a lot of comparing and trying to do, but my knife & razor business is doning well enough I can look for that "ultimate" bow. Heck... I may even end up with another PSE. Thanks for all the responses so far...they've given me quite a few bows to look at.
