Sunsetpatti, G5 Prime takes the cake. Nothing shoots more accurate. I've split 2 arrows in 1st 6 mos. absolutely the smoothest cam.
Mathews is a great company but falling way behind in the technology.
But I would buy a Mission Blaze, or Ballistic for the price, if that's a factor.

Check into the Mission Archery Bows (made by Matthews).i bought the Mission "Craze" Bow for my Daughter and ended up having it sized for me instead!It can fit a Youth,Lady or a Guy since it has adjustments for different draw lengths and it adjust poundage from 20-70lbs,it has a short 28 inch axel to axel length and it a nice shooting Bow!
Mission makes several affordable Bows and have added several more to its line up!What ever Brand You decide on check out as many as possible and get the one that fits You and a Your Budget!

I shoot a Hoyt Vectrix and I like it. It's a little on the heavy side, but very solid. But all the talk I'm hearing now, is about Elite Archery. There are some really seasoned tournament shooters that swear that Elite is making the best bows now.

From all I have been hearing as of late, the ELITE Energy bows are the real deal. I have always been a PSE and Mathews guy but with all these reviews on the ELITE bows I just might have to try and see what all the hype is about.

bows
check out the hoyt charger or bowtech assassin, i own a hoyt charger and my dad owns a bowtech assassin, and both are great bows without breaking you wallet. you get great top of the line performance without paying top of the line price.

Just starting bow hunting this year and could not agree more with you, as I got the assassin and I'm very surprised how well this bow has helped me feel confident with just getting into shooting.
