Who wins bow of the year?
I know this is kind of early and some of the bows havent hit the market hard yet, but what do you guys/gals feel will take the bow of the year as of right now? I believe the Trykon won last year, will Hoyt repeat again?

RE: Who wins bow of the year?
Having shot just about everything that has come out, I am giving it to the 2007 Allegence. The Guardian just didn't do much for me. The Vectrix needs slim fast, and the Dren was a close second, but like most Mathew's bows, its a WHOLE lot slower than its contemporaries. And to tell the consumers its IBO speed is 320...haha...right. I shot a perfect IBO arrow off a Dren three days ago and it leveled out at 301. Considering that my 60# LX will shoot 300 flat with a 302gr arrow at 29", and I bought it for $195, I can't really say it does a lot for me. Yes its light and yes its smooth, but, so is the 07 Allegence, and, its super quick to boot.
The 07 Allegence I shot last week went 305 fps, with a 367gr arrow, at 60# and 29" (speed cams), THAT is impressive. And for a bow that is so light, to be so quiet, and still THAT fast and shock free....makes it "the bow of the year".

I shoot a 2006 BowTech Tribute.
My gut feeling says it will be the Mathews Drenilen.
I have not shot the Drenilen.
I can not believe the Hoyt Trykon won bow of theyear last year.
I shot one & hated the valley.
IMHO the Hoyt V-Tec was/is a better bow, than the Trykon.

SwampCollie,
I find what you said about Drenalin speed very surprising. My Drenalin is set at 70#, my draw length is 29.5" and I'm shooting 400 grain arrows at 300 fps. It's strange that you would only get 301 fpsfrom a 350 grain arrow.
