I was in the market for a new bow this year after finally retiring my 21 year old Mathews LX. I shot the Hoyt Alpha, Bowtech, PSE, and Lift. I also shot last year's Hoyt VTM. I loved the way the VTM shot, but all the shop had in stock was the longer one, and I wanted the 31". Found a few I could order online from shops across the country, but wanted to give my business local. That's when I shot the Alpha and the Lift.
To me, the difference between the Alpha and Lift was night and day, in favor of the Lift. Picked up the 29.5 and love it.
