Last Minute Suggestions??

[southslope82]

Today I was practicing for the big shoot up at the snow bird and I had a limb split out on me the entire length of the limb. After this season I was going to buy a new bow anyway so now I am headed out tomorrow to just buy a new one now. I have really been digging into the info on the HOYT Katera and Alphamax series and would decide on one or the other after I shot them and seen which one felt better. Anybody got any suggestions or things to look for that one might have that the other doesn't. Money is not a problem I just want the best bow I can possibly get for myself. If anyone has some last minute opinions I would really appreciate it even if it is not a name I have mentioned above. Thanks.

I've been looking lately too after my rig was stolen last weekend. As a Lefty I rarely get to shoot many bows before I buy. This time around it's been a bit different. I've tried most everything, though a few had to be righty's.

Of all the bows I've shot in the last week I'd say the PSE X-force is the smoothest drawing of all the short speed bows. The Monster is the smoothest on the shot of any bow I've ever tried, though I hated the draw cycle. The Mathews Drenalin LD and Alaphamax 35 have the perfect geometry for my 28" or so draw length and up-right head shooting style, yet are radically different types of bows.

They have a heck of a selection right now up at Wilde Arrow. All the Alphamax's and most of the Mathews. I'd suggest going up there and trying out as many as you can. Maybe then a trip to Jakes to see the PSE's. If you're stuck in town, UAC has quite a few Hoyt's and Mathews, just not one lefty for me to try

In the end of the day the Drenalin LD is the perfect combo of string angle and super smooth draw I was looking for. Mine should be here Tuesday

There's alot of really cool bows out these days. Enjoy!

Cheers,
Pete

Well I Went out and shot every bow I could you name it, PSE X Force, Matthews Monster, Reezin, Hoyt turbo hawk alphamax32 and 35 and hoyt katera and a couple others unpopular names and I got boiled down to the Alphamax 32 and 35 and the hoyt superhawk ended up going with the Alphamax32 I was measured correctly for my draw length and ended up with 30 1/2 so a alphamax 32 would work for me I only decided to go with it because it shot a little faster than the 35 I honestly could not tell a difference in the forgvingness of the two bows anyway I brought it home and started to sight it in the only problem I have now is I punch completley through my 3-D deer target not a clean pass through but It hits so much harder than the bow I had I am loving it.
