RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 
I voted BowTech, because that's what I'm currently shooting. I am pleased with the performance of my 2003 Ext VFT and I'm not one to just jump on this year's model because its newer and has the latest camo pattern. When I feel I've outgrown my bow or there are SIGNIFICANT advances, I will probably shoot a whole lotta bows and make a decision on what to buybased on what feels right, not what label is printed on the limbs.

I love Hoyt's but not the price... Call me a cheapskate, I don't care... ;) I am seriously leaning toward Reflex bows. They are almost the same as a Hoyt and 1/2 the price!

I owned an old PSE and don't think I'd buy one again. The quote "Parts Scattered Everywhere" just cracks me up - and is true since my old PSE did blow up on me at full draw.

I have tried Parkers and also tried the Mathews Switchback too. For some reason, I am drawn to Hoyt's and the balance and feel of them. But I can't see paying THAT MUCH for a new bow. Therefore, I looked at the lesser version bows by Reflex and really like them.

For strictly hunting purposes your right BigJ , however alot (probably most) folks who visit here regularly ,shoot their bows all year long , so it is important to pick out a bow that feels good when shooting it. I know I wouldn't look forward to a 3d shoot knowing that my bow had alot of hand shock , or that my arm would be ready to fall off by the end of the day due to a harsh draw cycle. So it's important to keepall that in mind when picking out a bow.

Out of the selections given , I enjoyed shooting the Hoyt Ultratech the best.:)
Your right, just to be clear I was talking about strictly hunting bows. I do however shoot my bow(s) all year as well. While I do not compete I do practice often. I have never had any problems with hand shock nor was I ever tired of shooting even after the longest of practice days, andmy Blood Brother or Rage Onewould never be confused with "high line" bows.;)

Maybe Browning does make the best bows in the world. And to think I foundthe RageOnein the garbage........

I refuse to answer this poll as I now feel segregated from the rest. You should have atleast put in an "Other" category. I am sure those are all great bows, and I have shot a few. But if you are going to do a poll, you shouldn't eliminate something or people because you don't like that particular bow.

Yes, my mathews would be number 1, and I used to have a Golden Eagle that would rank 2. My old PSE turned me away from them many moons ago. For some reason, I just don't like the hoyts. Which would also eliminate the reflexes, being they are the same bows. You will basically put the same company on a poll 2 times but you won't put a totally different manufacturer on there. What is that all about

If I had to make a choice andthese were the only bows left on earth, I would demand a recount.There is only ONE and since you have seen the commercials, I am sure that you know who that is. Just Kidding!!!
Trying to get an uproar going.

These are all good bows. Ihave shot an AR the last 3 years and it is a good bow, not a great bow. I killed plently of deerso I have nothing bad to say about it except it has abitofhand vibrationwhen you shoot it.

On that list I would probably go with Hoyt first.

These lines all have very good bows. Shoot all of them and you decide which one you like.

You really only have 3 manufacturers up here since Hoyt owns Reflex and PSE owns AR. This sounds more like a budget dependent decision to me.
