    Clint

    Find a shop and shoot as many as you can. If you can find a good shop, shoot as many as you can at your correct draw length.

    To your question:

    I shoot a Bowtech SWAT.

    I shoot a Strother SR-71. Very fast, quiet and shock free bow. A little stiff draw though.

    I love it! Smooth shooting bow, little to no vibration and very quiet. Not to mention a very flat shooting bow.

    I currently have an Elite Judge and I can say after shooting both bows, the Mathews is hands down smoother on the draw, quieter, and has less vibration. I like my Elite, it's a well-built bow but IMO the Mathews just felt better.

    My bread and butter bow is a 2002 PSE Stingray

    I have anchored plenty with the following:

    2008 80# PSE X-Force
    2009 PSE X-Force Super Short
    2010 PSE Axe 7
    Kanga Takedown Custom Longbow w/ 55 and 68 pound limbs.

    I have all the confidence in the world shooting PSE.
