    Matthews-Mission
    Hoyt
    PSE
    Bear
    Bowtech-Diamond,
    Martin
    Parker
    Athens

    Never heard of the one your looking at. Out of curiosity why are you looking for unknown brands?

    im just looking to see if im missing anything. I havent bought a bow since I got my new Martin in 2009. i know alot has come out since then so just really want to look at alot of choices before i buy. I did do to much looking the last time just saw a good deal and took it.

    I must say. I have to agree. We sell the Winchester line and they're pretty sweet. They paid attention to details. The one I like the most is they used all stainless steel Allen bolts. Duh. How genius is that? How many of us have had a bolt we couldn't loosen because they rusted? Good shooters. Quiet. Pretty fast. Smooth. Very little shocker vibration. Everything you would expect from a quality bow. They're pretty impressive. Definitely worth at least taking a look at.

    I see your looking into buying Strother The Wrath,also look at The Rush too, there both really close but they say the Wrath is a bowmans choice for it's overall versatility. Over at AT people are trading in the Mathews Helim like crazy to buy the New Strother Wrath. Would be the bow I would get, but not this year! Haven't heard a bad thing on it, now trying to get one is the hard thing. Good luck on finding a new bow, just make sure you shoot them before buying. Probably will get some flak from the guys on here for saying this but it's a fact:jaw:. They've got to be respectful to their sponsors:hail:!

    LOL, Strother is far from unknown. The Wrath is a great little bow and the predator camo is sweet. But do yourself a favor and shoot the Elite Answer and Hunter before you buy!

    I didn't see these mentioned Alpine, Athens, and New Breed. You probably won't need to look much further, Strother seems to be a very good brand, wish there was a dealer near me.
