Default Which bow?

What bow do you guys think I should get? Looking for a new bow to get in a month or two. Looking at the Bowtechs, Matthews, and Hoyts. Let me know what you guys think and why. Im looking for smooth, fast, and quiet. 350fps isnt one of my concerns though. Just let me know.

Go to your pro shop and shoot as many as you can. Most people here are going to tell you their personal preference which doesnt really help that much.

The three choices you mentioned are all excellent so you need to "try them on" for feel that suits you best. Although speed is not your primary concern it does have its advantages especially if you are a shorter draw length, If you draw 29-30 inches then they are all pretty fast now.

I just purchased a Mathews Switchback. Always was a Hoyt guy before. I shot the Hoyt Vtech and the Bowtech Allegiance with the Switchback. The Switchback is the smoothest shooting bow I have ever shot. I liked the Allegiance also but it was A 100 bucks more than the Switchback. They all are good bows, try them all out and pick the one you like the most. Good Luck!

I shot a Parker Hunter Mag all last season. Then I tried a Switchback at my local Pro Shop I need not say anymore.............in case you need assistance take a look at my sig. down below. If that doesn't tell the rest of the story.

If speed isn't your primary concern but a smooth draw cycle and excellent accuracy is..and in a relatively nice, compact package then the Bowtech Liberty gets my vote. For a little more KE I would opt for the Allegiance.
