These are bows lines I have at least shot and or owned. I don't feel I have the right to rate companies that I havn't at least shot. Owning a bow is the real test and really is the only true way to get a feel for a bow and possibly how the company who makes it works(warranty/service).

5. Martin (more geared towars target shooting than hunting IMO)
Where and when did you conclude that. I have owned Xclent Martin hunting compounds since 1992, and a couple of Martin recurves prior to 1992.

Martin has been one of the best and durable hunting bows I have ever owned.

As for the order of best vs. less. They are all good. Also, I agree that Browning is a highly underrated and overlooked hunting bow.
