Bows?

[buckstalker17]

I shoot a bowtech carbon knight it is slower than most new bows but with a 27" draw I am always going to be just a little slower at 305 at 65 lbs and being all carbon fiber it will not store as much energy as a aluminum riser ,but when it only weights 3.2 lbs in the box and 4.4 lbs geared up they can say its slow or it's not high end but they can come and talk to me at the end of a 8-9 mile hike and see how they feel about it then.

What is the right brand? I shoot a Martin Cheetah and I know it is not high end, but it gets the job done. Also, I have an old Bear Whitetail 2 set up for bowfishing. Now that is a high end bow. Or at least it was in the 80's.

Hoyt - bought it cuz the Hoyt rep was at the shop that day and taught me, fit me. Let me shoot. I had no idea what anyone else thought of HOYT - nor did I care - but the bow felt better than others I shot and I got some expert ( but biased) advice. The walmart guy's attitude reminds me of a wine snob. I know people that boast about buying 50 dollar bottles of wine. That's great, but I have a list of 10 great wines under 15 that are every bit as good or better. What tastes good to me, is good. Price/label be damned. So like anything else, if YOU like it, and it works.... it's high (enough) end.

I shoot a bowtech.(TomKat) I have had it for about 7 years or so now. I bought it after shooting alot of different bows and that one just seemed to fit me best. I will never shoot anything else.(Probably) Recently my wifes cousin became a Bowtech dealer and I go to him with any problems or accessories that I need. But a guy at WalMart telling you your bow is not high end is pretty comical!! A good bow to me is one that will kill a deer!! Good Luck all!
