Hoyt, because of to many people bringing the bows back to be worked on and the Bowtech because of horrible customer service.

Ummm.. Well Bowtech has good customer service and while they had problems with the Generals limbs it was admitted and corrected. Hoyt makes a really durable bow..
Now I've always been a mathews shooter but I'm here to tell you that it would not be right if you didn't shoot the Admiral and the Captain. I have my Admiral on order, seriously one of the sweetest bows I've ever shot..
Good Luck.

I had my 08' General repaired, due to the limb intergity issuesfrom thissummer. I had no problems. They orded my limbs put new ones on with no questions, and had it back in 4 days. It's been great ever since. Every company has it's issues, just make a choice.

I was thinking the same about just droping 2 big manufacturers. It does make more sense of them being droped since they were selling a bunch of different brands. I was hoping to be able to shoot the ones that I stated in 1st post and like I said earlier they won't get the Martin until Feb. I want to be fair to all the brands. I don't want to drive all over the country to tryout bows cause I forget to easy.

Just to let everyone know how the day went. Stoped at Gander and shot the diamond Marquie, the bow shot well but didn't make me say this is it. Went to the pro shop and shot Drenalin, Dxt and Reezen again. They all had a vibration of some sort and knew they weren't the ones either. Next PSE ex force, that one slaped my fore arm and I didn't like the feel at all. Now came the Hoyts, first was the AM32, shot ok, but the Katera felt much better to me. Then came the Captain from Bowtech. This bow was a 28 in draw and I am a 27, but that didn't seem to matter cause it felt just as nice in my hand as the Katera. Only thing is, the Captain shot smoother was quieter and no vibration at all. They had a Diamond Iceman so I shot that to. It had everything that the Captain had, the only difference was it wasn't as smooth and had a vibration. In regards to the Katera there was not one extra piece of dampners or silencers, but the bow felt good in my hands and I remembered how the Katera shot at the other pro shop. now I have to wait for the Martins to come in.

Shot a few bows this year and my favorite is the Hoyt Alpha Max. I also liked the X-Force Dream Season. Thats the first PSE i liked in a while. The thing i like about hoyt though is you know you are getting one tough SOB. You just never hear a lot of problems with hoyt. There limbs are second to none in my book. Mathews DXT would be my third choice. Have not shot the Reezon yet though
