    I forgot to add. The Mathews Legacy was a very impactful bow for me too. My first real foray into single cam from dual cams. It was the first bow I ever shot with string suppression. I ordered 2 when they first came out. 1 for 3D 1 for hunting. I killed plenty of animals with it. Might have liked it better than the Switchback overall.

    Also the PSE Scorpion with the NRG single cam ? Still got it. I had it custom dipped. Smoothe single cam , level nock travel. It gave way to the PSE X-Force HF cam that Mathews sued PSE over. I thought the HF cams blew away the replacement GX cams that had some derails. This was 2007-2009

    1. Mathews z7xtreme
    2. Bowtech Allegiance (2006 model)
    3. Mathews Chill (original)
    4. Mathews Halon
    5. Hoyt Vectrix

    Those may all bump down a level after I get to run some arrows through the 32.

    1. Z7Xtreme - This was my first big bow purchase, I sold it for an insanity, then sold the insanity and went back. I just love this bow.
    2. Carbon Spyder 30 - This is my current bow. I needed to reduce from 70# to 60# cause I'm getting old. Bow shoots great, just don't get to shoot it as often if it needs to move up the list.
    3. Bowtech Insanity - I was insane when I bought it. It was a great shooting bow but pretty aggressive on all ends.

    Coming from a Hoyt guy my Matthews HTR just won out the number one spot with its smooth draw and shooting as well as no hand shock. I'm done with speed I want smooth
