    Hey guys,

    Just wanting some feeback on my next bow purchase. I'm either going to buy the PSE Brute or BowMadness #60 with 29"draw.

    I have shot them both and they both feel the same to me. The bowmadness is a bit faster, and I guess my question is do you think its worth the extra $$ for the speed? I will be big game hunting with it so I can see a benefit with larger grain arrows. Any thoughts / opinions?

    thanks

    Personally I wouldn't spend the extra money just for extra speed. I would buy the bow that was most comfortable to me. Just my thought.

    If they feel the same to you and you can afford it......go with the speed bow.

    From what I'm seeing the Brute has around 2" more brace height which = much more forgiving.
    If it were me and they both felt good, I'd take the cheaper more forgiving bow.

    Speed has never been a reason to me to purchase a bow. If they feel the same, then go with the one that may be a little more forgiving.

    thanks guys for the advice. I did end up going for the Brute(the cheaper one) and I love it.
