I love my Prodigy, but haven't gotten to shoot the Boss yet. HTR is an awesome bow too. CS34 was a close 2 for me as well. All 3 are great bows. Shoot all of them and then decide.
1. Your dad is awesome. 2. The Boss is awesome. I shot one and really liked it. I have owned 3 Bowtech's before my Faktor (2012 Assassin, 2013 Experience, 2014 RPM 360) and never had a single problem with any of them.
Check out the arena 34 also.....when i was bow shopping i shot tons of bows and was blown away by the speed accuracy and ease of draw of the arena....the monster wakes short brace height you better shoot it a lot before you buy brace height under 6" is not for everybody theres tons of fast bows out there in 6" and up brace height range....shoot as many as you can and dont decide on a bow until you shoot it
