    What is the most forgiving bow you ever owned? You know the you could grab anytime and just nail what ever you where shooting at.


    It's crazy but for me it was a Bear Solo Quad. It was in with that first generation of single cams. The bow was slow but I could shoot the lights out with it. Just felt good. Wish I still had it.

    My last Guardian. (Well, any of my Guardians, I guess.)

    The bow that for me deserved the moniker "tack-driver" above any others that I owned... And, alas, one of the ones I wish I'd never got rid of.

    To that point, I AM getting better at holding on to bows these days that I like especially well at the time. I know I will not be dumping either of my Destroyer 340s at the end of this year...

    My new marquis has been the best bow I've ever owned.

    Man, I've had a lot of bows in the last 4-5 yrs, but I'd have to say my trusty old Trykon XL is probably the ONE bow that I always can pull out of the case and feel confident in..... But these two AM's I have are really growing one me.... :tu:

    Too early to say, but initial feel, my 09 Marquis. That should change when I add a "new" one to the arsenal shortly.

    I was going to say the General that I had, but then this reminded me of the Outback that I hunted with for a few years. What a wonderful bow, and now I use it for carp ;)

    I've heard a lot of people say the Hoyt Ultra Tech was a super sweet bow. I've never shot one myself.

    The only bow I haven't sold to upgrade for a current model. I don't think I'll ever sell that bow.

    II sold it a month ago (need to update my sig I guess). Cardiac is a great shooting bow, reminds me of the switchback in alot of ways. Just no need to have 3 bows laying around, one backup is enough.
