I would have to say Hoyt this year. A lot of people are really interested in this year' s lineup in my neck of the woods. Next year it will be someone else who comes out with the hot new idea.

RE: So who is king of the bow hill this year???
Two pheasant seasons ago, I took a fellow pheasant hunting in my bird-lease area. He had recently dumped his Remington 11-87, and shelled out $1400.00 bucks for a new 12-gauge Ruger over-under.
Being the lease-area had sections that called for quick shots, as well as long shots, and that I was also armed with my upland (pointing) Lab, I decided to take my 1950 Remington 16 gauge " Wingmaster" pump, w/29" mod barrel, loaded with No. #6 high-brass w/chilled shot.
Being the guy was my guest; I hung back, worked my Lab, and let the fellow have the shots. After working almost the entire lease-area; the guy was dragging his butt, that Ruger had beat the fellow black and blue, he had shot almost a full box of shells, and only clipped one bird that he did not kill.
Being I tried to never hunt my Lab without putting down a bird or two for his work (old Max has passed on), I took some shots in the last 300 yards of the area. Two birds shot at about 40 yards, one shot at about 30 yards = three dead birds with a..... 51-year old, 16 gauge pump.
Moral of story.........

Not to get side-tracked here but I always thought it was a " phoo-phoo" arrow.

Trueflight calls them Flu-Flu........that' s where I got it from.
