Default compare bows

I' m looking at several differant bows I need any input anyone can give.
Razortec , by Hoyt..........$699.00
Ultralite III ,by Parker...........$499.00
Diamondback VT, by Pearson.......$499.00
Rage, by Martin ..............$499.00

Please help on any pros and cons for each. I have shoot two and hope to shoot the rest. I can' t find anyone willing to let me shoot the Pearson. It has the 20* offset and I' m not sure if I like it or not.

Of the choices listed, I would have to say the Parker. It is very light for hunting, has a nice finished look, and has a decent draw cycle. Overall, its an ok bow.

(although in my opinion, Parker comes pretty close to simply copying Mathews)

Wow, you picked some good ones!
The Parker is sweet and IMO refined. It' s a small bow and it
feels
like a smaller bow. The Razor is only 2" longer, but much more stable in the hand in part due to the wider than norm split limbs.
Pearson and Martin I have seen, but never shot so I wouldn' t even comment except that Pearson' s angled grips interest me.
I' d vote Razor but that' s just btw the Hoyt and Parker.

All the bows on your list would be excellant choices. Pick the one that fits you the best. I would pick the razortec because I really like the new Hoyt line-up this year.
But you cant go wrong with none of the bows you selected. Good luck

Yes, I would go with the Razortec as well...provided all else is equal. However, it is not due to the price.
