thats funny i thought they made the fastest factory bow on the market,and the rest are fast enough when you can't here em

Nope, PSE Omen still owns that title. Faster than the monster 5 with 1/2" more brace.

Its been said a thousand times before, YOU shoot a bunch of bows, and YOU choose what feels best. All brands have great quality and performance and every bow has its place.

Be faithful: stick with what you have. Save your money for some 3D arrow shoots and a few extra tanks of gas for scouting trips  :)

You guys all make valid points and I really appreciate your opinions.  Bean counter is probably the smartest!  But I have had my bowtech Gaurdian since 07 so I'm just ready for somthing new.  Price is not an issue on this I don't buy bows often so I'm gonna buy the boy that feels the best.

It's fun to mess with guys that are brand loyal , but really there are many nice bows out there , you like your bow tech now and the experience and insanity are very good shooting bow . I shot a cpx and experience at 30 inch and they really shot well the cpx is just a bit faster and a little less for giving ' . the nice thin I found about the bowtechs is you can take a 70 lbs bow and back it 60 and it stillshoot well the older bows really like to have there limbs close to max load.

Such a personal trip.
I am blown away with my pse vendetta dc.smooth quiet n fast.maybe an evo,not as much valley though.
I think bowtech has some sweet offerings.if i get another bow anytime real soon itll be a cpxl.

Buy a Hoyt and you should be happy. Find that good balance between speed and arrow weight to keep a flat shooting arrow with good nock down power and  a real strong cut on contact  broadhead and you will have a great elk hunting bow. Hoyt should fit that criteria.

You might want to talk to the guys at Alpine Archery out of Lewiston. They make some great quality stuff.

Hoyt gets my vote for smooth pleasurable shooting, but the newer mathews mr5 mcpherson is what I'm shooting. I chose it because its aggressive and a hotrod type bow. Its fast, maybe the fastest and flattest I've shot. 4.5 lbs but you get 360+ fps +/- your arrow setup.
If your lookin for a well rounded easy draw smooth bow, try the hoyt line.
If you want an aggressive hotrod, try the feel of a newer 2012+ monster 5.
Just my vote on a few to pick up and try!

I would put Elite and Hoyt on the list of bows to try out. My last 3 have been Hoyt. Didn't see myself changing any time soon. They are great bows.  I was planning on getting a Spyder Turbo until I shot the Pulse. If you want larger brace height, check out the Answer. Really liking the Elites. They are very smooth and have a solid back wall with high let off. You have to decide what you want for yourself though. Don't know if I would want a 5" brace height on a hunting bow.

I love my PSE vendetta 330 fps ibo with 7" brace height with a longer ATA and probably one of the smoothest draws out there. Also like the Hoyt spyder turbo if your looking for a little more speed.

Be carefull with ibo speed , when you go shot bows take a 420 grain arrow with you and see how they perform apples to apples . I found the cpx was about 15fps faster but I liked the 7 1/2 brace height and the longer axle to axle . have fun !

I would go to a bow shop and shoot a few different bows and see what feels best to you ..Yeah there are bows that are faster but if it does not feel right to you then it will take you longer to get used to it ...I like a shorter bow for getting threw the brush and I like a smaller grip on my bows ...there are So many good bows out there today So I would get what fits and feels good to you ..Money is always a factor too ..Get what you can afford but of good quality  :tup:
