I am also buying a new bow this yr.
So went to the proshop and shot a few? I shot the hoyt alphamax-32 , Bowtech admiral-sweet bow!

Then i shot the bowtech captain! Wow what a shooter! I went with the captain.

Everyone is different? So with that sead my best advice is to forget the name and go shoot as many as you can and make your own decision. There all great bows!!

I shot, and shot, and shot, and shot just about every bow I could get my hands on and fell in love wth an 07 Guardian and bought it and havnt regretted it one, decent speed quiet smooth no hand shock smooth draw

All other bows want to be a Mathews when they grow up.

X2. I shot the Admiral and liked the Iceman better, but that is a personal preference.

I believe any of the current bows over $400, regardless of brand, are good bows, you just have to shoot them and see which one you like (or vice versa).

It depends on your budget.. I love the Diamond iceman.. Bowtech general and Bowtech Admiral are both great bows.. Also if you want to wait a few weeks try out that new Bowtech Destroyer the reviews are off the carts!! But when it comes down to it you should go shoot as many bows as you can get your hands and decide what bow fits you the best.. That is the bow that you will be the most comfortable with and probably be the most productive for you..

Do yourself a favor and make sure you shoot a Bowtech Destroyer..
 
Make sure you try a Bowtech Destroyer before making your final choice,, thats all Im going to say....

you can ask this question 1000 times and get 1000 different answers, goto your local pro shop and handle all the bows within your price range.

I'm a Mathews shooter, and just got the Z7
