Help me pick a new bow
 
So a few years ago i sold my much loved relex excursion. Only fault i had with it was weight.
I want to get back into bow hunting next year. So some time soon i wonna get a new bow so i can do plenty of target shooting. Plus love just shooting bows
Im pretty open to what i get just want a good top of line but not crazy pricey bow
Brands id be happy with. Hoyt, Matthews, reflex but open for others

Requirements
Accurate
Light weight
Fast
Enough draw weight for game bigger then deer
Reliable
Draw lenth 29plus
Camo of course

G5 Prime Centriod, Shift, Alloy. Any one is better than any Mathews or Hoyt
You need to shoot one if you haven't

Mathew Heli-m is an amazing bow hard to beat it too, Smooth draw. solid back wall. However, I would shoot many bows at a local bow shop and shoose the one that feels best to you personally.

My favorite new bows that I have shot are the G5 line and the Elite hunter. I usually really like anything designed by Kevin Strother but its getting hard to figure out what he designed these days.

He was with Bowtech for a while, designed for elite archery, obsession archery,K&K archery,and Strother archery but as far as I know doesn't design for any of them now.

His designs are top of the line though IMO.

G5 even gives you new strings every 2 years for the life of the bow and Elite has the lifetime warranty that transfers which helps open up used options. Just a couple things to consider.
