    I am a Hoyt fanboy so I know you will love your new bow.

    I agree with Antlers. Just Shoot a Prime!!most likely the smoothest draw you'll find!!
    I just pulled a Robinhood last week with mine.

    Although I'm not a Hoyt shooter, they make a great bow! Hard to find a bad bow these days.

    You can not go wrong with a Hoyt and they are the quietest bows around.

    It's not there top of the line bow, but shoot the Bowtech Assassin. I shot every new bow out last year and in my opinion it was the best all around. If creeping was the only problem you had with the Experience, I can promise you the Assasian want creep even if you try to make it.

    only problem i had with the assassin was it had the worst draw cycle ever. very rough. speed comes at a price.

    Let's be realistic and not everyone can buy all 3 let alone a new bow each year...sadly I know I can't justify that for myself as it isn't needed. However, if one can and want I say go for it!

    I currently shoot the Creed and have been since mid season last year. I absolutely love it. I personally chose it over the Hoyt. I wasnt a fan of the weird futuristic look that Hoyt is going to and prefer the classic Mathews look (still classic with split limbs). I think comparing any of the top companies is like comparing Lamborghinis to Ferraris. Personally I love the Mathews but it sounds like the Hoyt is right for you

    Bought a new Mathews creed a few months back, and I love it, smooth as silk, Hoyt makes top of the line bows, i have shot one before but it just didn't feel at home in my hands

    Bowtech's are ticking time bombs stay as far away from them as possible. Elite archery is where its at, check out the Answer for a great all around bow and the Pulse is you want the smoothest drawing 6" brace height bow out that still puts good speed numbers up

    I got a Mathews. You can't beat the smoothness of a solo cam. I liked the chill and the Bowtech Experience shot darts, but I much prefer solo cams. Plus the creed has the most solid of a back wall I have seen. Smoothness and the wall matters more to me than speed. Anything can kill a deer these days.

    They are all fantastic bows! I shot many bows this year and had a tough time deciding. I decided on the chill and have not regretted my decision once. There are many features of each bow that I liked but when it came down to it you have to pick what suits your needs best.. Sounds like to me the Hoyt will be a good fit for your I liked shooting the spyder 30... I personally can't wait to see what they come out with next year!

    I have been a hunter for 50 years.....but never shot a bow. This year, I decided to take up bow hunting. If I tried to follow what everyone thought was the best bow, I'd never get one. I quickly learned that while there are a lot of opinions, there is no "best" bow, So, I bought a Bowtech Experience. I hope I'm happy with it. I hope I can hit something with it, but one thing is for sure, I'll be outdoors, and sharing, what seems to be a passion with some pretty good people. I'm new here too, and looking forward to expanding my knowledge.

    Don't really think you could go wrong with a bow these days. They all are great products.

    I am in the same boat as the person that started this thread, and I am really glad/excited to see people share actual information and experience rather then flat out opinions. It's really nice to see people who are glad to help other people find something that suits them the best.
