For me it would be either be a Merlin or a Darton Executive Vegas. If neither of those were available it would be a hoyt. Martin has some nice target bows as well.

Any 38" OR MOREa-a bow with/around 8" brace or better for spots(Hoyt has some good choices that have already been mentioned)and I don't feel that 1 cam bows are easier to setup or keep in tune than a hybrid.I actually feel 1 cam bows are harder to get the rotation tuned properly.
I believe a deflex riser is a better choice as well,don't just look at the brace.IMO,you could get a bow with an 8" brace but has a 2 1/2" reflex and that would'nt be as good a choice as a a 7 1/2" brace bow with a straight riser.

RE: If you were strictly to get a target bow..
I personally don't like hybrid cams that much. Just as complicated and critical of timing as a twin cam, but no second yoke to dial out lean. I just don't see the point and would rather have a true dually or single cam.
In order of my personal preference........
Mathews Apex (I happen to have one for sale at a good deal right now too [8D])
Martin Scepter 4
Darton Pro 5000
Hoyt Pro Elite or older Pro Tec, or Pro 38
PSE Moneymaker

Hoyt ProTec (Probably the BEST bow Hoyt ever made)
Actually, I'm really partial to it. It seems to fit me great and just feels so much more comfortable than anything else I've tried. Probably one of the ones to be considered, although it seems to me that model is discontinued. Anyone know for sure?
