My worn out shoulders prefer the Elites. They're honestly the easiest to shoot bow. Shot a Hoyt Faktor last week though that may very well be my next bow

I've been sitting an elite hunter since 2013. I was shooting a mathews but they don't make a bow long enough to suit me well.  I honestly think elite is a better bow and the warranty is top shelf

I had always shot a PSE but due to the fact that there are no longer any dealers in our area, this year I shopped around and ended up buying a Mission Ballistic. I am happy with it but part of me misses my PSE's.

I am presently making the switch back to wheelbows after shooting stickbows since 2003. I had a Mathews Switchback XT for awhile a few years back. I really liked that bow. So when I made the decision to buy another compound I looked once again at Mathews bows. Ended up buying a Mathews No Cam HTX.

My take on bows is that bows are like women. You want to try as many as you can before you settle on one.

I believe that every bow feels different in different hands. You do yourself a great disservice to not shoot all the bows in your price range. I have gone to the bow shop heart set on a particular bow but after shooting different bows i left with something totally different. All of the bow company's are putting out quality bows so that need not be an issue.

Shot Mathews for a while...switched to Elite three years ago.  No going back.

If you're looking for something well priced, but an absolute tack driver - the Diamond Carbon Cure is awesome.  I got one not too long ago and it's quiet, fast (325 ibo), and affordable.  I've loved the thing so far.

I shoot a Hoyt carbon and love it.
The best thing to do in trying to decide on a particular bow is to shoot several to see which is best fit for you.

I'm shooting an Xpedition Xcentric. Fits me like a glove and is one heck of a bow.

Sweet rigs. I just finished tuning my halon 32 to bull heads. Still waiting on the prices of the special fingers for Hoyts to come back down to earth. Whenever that happens, I'll start shooting them again.

It's not just that the price is ridiculous, I can press every other bow on the market without the adapters. PSEs have more preload than the hoyts and that's not a problem. So I can't justify spending 200 extra bucks on top of a 1400 dollar bow when there's plenty of other companies that do the same thing for cheaper.
