Pretty straight forward question. I've shot several brands and I think I'm on overload. Between arrows, bows, releases, etcetera. Starting with the bow. Got it between bowtech, Mathews and Hoyt. Which brand would you go with and why? Thanks in advance guys.

I lean towards Bowtech because that's what I am shooting now. All three that you mentioned are top of the line. I guess a little more info about what you want the bow for and your experience level might help narrow it down.

Looking at all models to be honest. Last bow I had was a Mathews drenalin when they first came out. Shot quite a bit with it but only hogs and target practice. That obviously was 6-7 years ago. So my experience level is newbie I guess. But I don't want junk. My issue is when someone says it's quieter or faster. It's marginal given my experience level. What I've been shooting more than anything else at pro shops is the bowtech carbon knight.

Elite, there is a reason the top two shooters in the nation jumped to them this year.

I shoot elite and bowtech, nothing wrong with Hoyt, just liked the speed of the bowtechs, and if shooting all day I like elites draw cycle

Shoot all 3 brands and the various models of each. Let the bow pick you.
I fell in love with Mathews, but that's just me and it works.

I was on a budget and went with a Mission Craze. Good starter bow that I can upgrade and "grow into" as i learn more. My local shop had a pretty good package deal too her in Austin. But I did shoot a few and this one felt easy to shoot.
Adult late onset hunter. Why did I wait so long to get started?

X3 Don't get caught up in all the hype about this bow's faster than that one, this bow is quieter than that one, blah blah blah. All three are great bows. You absolutely can't go wrong with any of them. Shoot all 3, pick the bow you like the best. Simple as that. Forget the hype! They're all good!!!!
