I went with a 2013 Hoyt Spyder Turbo as my do-it-all bow.  Obviously, with this approach you give up (to a certain degree) the finer points that a usage specific bow would provide.  But those end-up being very small compromises in my book.  Other bows I consider were the Bowtech Insanity CPXl and the Athens Afflixtion.

A 34-35" bow with 7" brace will be a great all around bow. All brands are great and it's all about personal feel. Shoot a bunch of bows and see what feels best. Stay away from short light bows, no matter what anyone says they are NOT as stable or forgiving. :tup:
