BowTech. Shot several different models for years. You should easily be able to pick one up for under $1,000

Best bow is a very well tuned one.
Not a bad bow on the market. Every bow out there has a little different draw cycle, backwall feel, etc.
For dual cam
Bowtech-assasin, insanity, invasion
Elite-awnser, Hunter, pure
Hoyt-vector serious or matrix
Singlecam
Mathews/mission-belong, z7, craze
Diamond- deadeye, fug, outlaw
Bear anarchy, caranage

I shoot a 2012 elite answer.... By far the best bow I've ever handled, and I've been in the habit of buying the "newest and best" every year. I think this one will be hanging around for a while.

I shoot a elite gto and Bowtech insanity. I shot the answer(fast mod) and it was almost same draw cycle of the gto. So I got the insanity its a let less harsh but does have a big hump in the draw that you notice if you draw it quickly. Elite does make one great bow and a second to none warrenty

Go to a pro shop and shoot a couple without looking at the price tag and make a decision based on that....Me, well, its Mathews, but then again, thats what I've been shooting since the mid 90's

Best bow is what feels good in your hands and that you shoot the best. The more popular brands will carry a higher trade in value if you sell it year to year or so. But generally most of the major brand names out there hold out to their warranty pretty well. Go to a nearby pro shop and check them out first hand.

I have a PSE X-Force and have been very pleased with it. I am very impressed with my hunting buddies Hoyt Alpha Burner though. There are a lot of really good bows out there!

You most likely will get 10 different answers from 10 different bow hunters.
My suggestion is go shoot all the different ones you can at good archery shops and then buy the one that feels the best to you. All the major brands are good and each one is plenty FAST to do the job IMO.
Go shoot them and pick the one that feels right to you!
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Why not do a natural blind using trees and such i dont understand. ....but hoyt crx 32 here, and i love it.
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

The one you feel the most comfortable with
If I put my wife in a high fence will her rack get bigger? ![[Linked Image]](http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/harmsway_15/th_DSC02082.jpg)

As said above the one that feels best for you. I have used a Bear Anachy that I highly rate.It feels great. Here is a video when I went Boar hunting in Hungary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFmA0g0dHpcHappy Hunting
