    There are alot of good bows out their like bigbuckdown said before. You have to go to a pro shop try a couple different bows out, I would stick with hoyt, bowtech or matthews just because these three are like a three ring circus. I have always shot hoyt and love it, but you may be different. good luck!

    If you can prove the best of all of these I will tell you which bow is the best. :fro:

    Ford vs. Chevy
    Apple vs PC
    Union vs Non-union
    Blackberry vs. I-phone
    Verizon vs. At&t
    Satellite Dish vs Cable
    Browning vs. Remington vs. Benelli vs Winchester
    Goodyear vs. Michelin
    Folders vs. Maxwell House
    Mechanicals vs Fixed Blades


    The list goes on and on. These items will be arugued and debated forever.

    If you look at price, performance and all the intangibles there is only one clear choice.

    And I am not telling

    If money was no object (and unfortunately it is for me :mad:) I'd likely be shooting the Hoyt Maxxis 31. I also still love the Alpha max and the Bowtech Swat.

    I just got a hoyt alphamax 35, and let me tell ya, its the finest bow I have owned. Tuned within 30 arrows. No joke. Not as quiet as my commander was. I have had 6 bowtechs, several PSE's, Brownings, and 2 bears. This beats them all.

    Many great bows out there for sure. I don't think you could really go wrong with any of them. I think the most over looked will be the Bear "Attack". It is a very nice and well shooting bow. The one that I think lives up to the hype is the Strother Infinity. Spectacular bow and if I was in the market that would be the one I'd get. Honorable mention so to speak would go to the NBA Genetics, another great bow. Over all though I feel most everything out this year is just recycled old models with a few new bells and whistles. Not really anything new.

    After shooting BOTH Maxxis and AM's side by side AND the Carbon Matrix, I decided I like the AM's better than either of the NEW offerings this year.... :tu: So I have a pair of AM's hanging on my wall and there is no other bow I'd rather be shooting.....:rock:

    See above post, I like the AM32 and AM35 equally well, best TWO bows I've ever shot....:tu:


    Now if he'd asked which was the TOUGHEST BOW........I DO have THE ANSWER.....:eek:

    This just BLOWS me away these bows endured this treatment and still shot okay!!!
