Ok, poll over, Hoyt Wins....LOL You know everybody is going to pick the bow that they shoot, when the fact is, no matter which bow you shoot, you will never get anywhere close to what you have in it!!!! Even if it's only a year old! Always something new, bigger, and badder!

I think it depends on the location and what the local shops are pushing

For instance an archery shop close by Matthews is their top seller so they generally offer higher trade in value

40 miles south is a Hoyt dealer same scenario

From what I've seen, its Mathews, followed closely by Bowtech.

The resale value on bows is like everything else it is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it

Saying resale value and Bow in the same sentence is a little painfull.Which bow are you less likely to take a beating on is likely linked to the over all popularity of the manufacturer of bow that you are trying to sell.

Hoyts hold value fairly well around here, as do any new mathews or bowtechs.

Id have to say Hoyt from what I've seen, but not because I shoot it. It will, err would, be a perk when i resale. This baby is in for the long ride though.

I deal on ebay alot and can say for sure Mathews re-sell better/higher than any other bow company.
