shoot what feels good and what kind of pro shop with service you will get.

Try Darton if you get a chance, they are worth trying, don't overlook. Mathews is a very solid choice. I have both. Both are great. Good Luck.

I think I am going to get the Fred Bear Truth II or the Done Deal.

I will buy a new bow after the first of the year. I am really excited about a few from BT, including the 82nd Airborne and General, and the Diamond Marquis. I am also interested in the Truth 2, Martin Firecat and a couple of the PSE's. I will shoot them all and then make a choice.

Tough question. I just sold my Vectrix XL and am looking for a replacement. Shot the Guardian, General, Tribute and Allegiance at the pro shop today. The Allegiance had the smooth modules and was super nice to draw even at 70 lbs. If I had to pick today, I think the Allegiance would get my vote. I thought the Guardian and General were a little heavier than I liked (which is why I sold the XL). The Allegiance has a little more vibration, but pretty moderate compared to a lot of other bows. Does anyone know if there were any changes made to the Alegiance for 2008?

Scavenger

Im looking at either the Hoyt Vecrtrix Plus or Katera XL...cant wait till they come in.

I will no doubt replace the Black Ice with a Marquix. That is if the Marquix speeds at 28 will satisfy me.The BI is a great bow , but w/ a 28" draw I loose too much speed. OtherwiseI like the Airborne models.
My Trykon will go also. Won't replace it. I don't need three bows.(that's what I'm TRYING to tell myself)I'm keeping the Tribby.
