Does she have a sister? My wife may throw me out half way through deer season and I need some options. Lord knows she deserves better than me and when she figures it out i can guaran-damn-tee I will be out on my ass!

I shoot probably as many bows as anyone on here that aint working in an archery shop and I am telling you...

The Mathews Halon is the best bow I have ever shot. Every hardcore archery guy I know that has shot my bow has said the same thing, and many of those guys are pro-staff for other bow companies...

Jono, there's a JAM up deal on a Mathews Q2 in the classifieds. I'll help you find a cam if the draw doesn't fit. I'll also set it up and tune it free of charge if you bring it to me.

Dang. I'm throwing around the idea...I have a Bear Encounter right now. Pretty low end but it was my first bow (only 1.5 years old). Haven't killed a deer with a bow yet, so justifying buying a new bow may be hard....but dang....thats a good deal.

Mathews, Elite and Hoyt are probably the best on the market. You just have to shoot them all and one will feel natural. It will fit like a glove and be a pleasure to shoot. That's the one you buy. All the top end bows are kind of pricey. Go ahead and spend the money. You will be happy for years. GOOD LUCK!

There is no best bow on the market....you gotta shoot a bunch of them and see what you like best. I too favor the obsession bows.... because they are the best. grin

it is amazing how 5 people can be 100% convinced that one is far and away better than the others.

Not dissimilar to golf clubs. It truly is whatever fit you and helps you perform the best. Also, both need to be custom fitted by a professional to maximize performance.

Go to a good bow shop that sells several brands and shoot them all and decide for yourself.

I bought an HTR last year for a heck of a deal. I shot the Halon and HTX too. The HTR shot the best to me personally. I really liked the smooth draw, and it was very quite. Plus the price tag was just too good to pass up

I've been shooting for just over 20 years and I made it a point to shoot most all the new bows every year. Shoot as many as you can because they are all different animals. As for personal preference I recommend shooting Obsession, just bring cash with you because if you shoot one you'll buy it!
