Which would you pick if buying a new bow

[Bowflinger]

My buddy is looking for a new bow and is considering one of these bows. Anybody shot these and what do you think is the better bow. Any info I'll pass along to him. thanks

[demontang]

Love my insanity to death. They all are great bows

I voted hoyt Spyder turbo because I got one this year.  That Matthews chill was a nice shooter too.

[yajsab]

Well, I have the Insanity so I'll pick that one.  Only thing I don't like is the weight.  After I load it up, it's around 6 #.

I went have the Spyder Turbo because of draw cycle and weight of the bow.  Also, I liked the black riser, camo limb option (yes, vanity).  The Insanity was a very, very close second.  I came very near just flipping a quarter.

I went though the same process a few weeks ago, for me it was between the Insanity, Chill and Spyder 30. I really liked the way they all shot. The choice came down to the things I read and heard about the companies, customer service, bow problems, ect. In the end, I think it just comes down the the one that feels best and the one you like the best because they are all quality bows.

so what was your final choice?

[dkecoleman]

I got the spyder 30, I really like it so far. Rock, did your turbo need any yoke tuning or anything right out of the box? Just courious

Hoyts and most bows should be yoke tuned if you want your rest at recommended centershot. Hoyts tend to need a little more pre lean than others, especially the turbos. Your top cam should barely lean this direction  \ at rest when looking from behind on a right handed hoyt, this is normal and they wont tune without it. At full draw the cam will straighten out.

Really?  I shoot a carbon element no cam lean and it shoots bullet holes when I paper test it.   
That said,  I think they are all good bows and you need to shoot the ones that piqué your interest and get the one that that feels best to you.

I assume the poll Bear archery 6 / 7 means the Motive 6 or Motive 7 and the Insanity CPX does not include the CPXL?  IF that is the case Motive 7 for me.  If CPXL that makes the decision a little tougher.  Better grip on the CPXL, but the Motive 7 has less vibration - basically same speed.  Motive 7 should be about $100.00 cheaper.  Not sure the CPXL grip is $100 better

[Bowflinger]

Thanks for all the input, keep it coming! Just out of curiosity, why no votes for the proton? I have the limbsaver deadzone and love it almost as much as a friends proton that I shot.  Have any of you guys shot the proton, and if so what did you think?

[coachcw]

limsavers are good bows , I have a dz 30 but dosn't do anything great . good entry level bow and easy to work on . it's a good bow if you want to learn bow work and tinker .

[BOWHUNTER45]

None of the above
