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.

Ive shot an elite once, and im still dreaming about the day I can buy one. The answer is a kick ass bow!

I wouldn't  buy a bow without shooting the Carbon Element.  I still feel it's the best bow out there........for me at least :twocents:

Finally someone pulled out the bow I was gonna suggest in this last post.
It's the bow I would have if my Alphamax wasn't still shooting great.

Obviously shoot them all and then pick.......kinda like choosing a steady girl.

I went though this process a few months ago, I shot every bow I could get my hands on, and to be honest, I really liked them all. The Chill, Insanity, and the Spyder 30 were my final three. I ended up going with the Spyder and I love everything about it. I don't know if I could actually say it was better than the other two, I just thought it would be the best all around hunting bow. Shoot them all, and pick the one you feel best about, they are all good.

My best advice is to shoot a lot of different bows before you make a decision. I recently purchased a 2012 Hoyt Carbon Matrix and love it. I still enjoy shooting my old Mathews from time to time though.

Ill throw the bowtech destroyer into the hat. I love mine. Smooth draw and quiet. The hump into the valley is more tahn my last bow, but don't even notice now. At 29" draw with 390gr arrow it shoots 295fps. Not the fastest, but I shoot it accurately. Enough to get full pass through on a block target at 40 yyds (not a worn out target).
I would agree with everyone to shoot some bows and see what you like best.

IMO Elite GT500 is probably one of the best bows ever made. I was dead set on keeping it till I shot my dads new Strother SR-71, to this day its the most silent and dead in the had on the shot bow I have ever shot. Not to mention it IBO's at 342.6 with a 29in Draw, peep and loop. O thats also at 65lbs.
If I was in the market right now I wouldnt hesitate to buy a new Obsession.

Hey guys really appreciate all the input!  I did what everyone said and went and shot a bunch if different bows and all kinds of brands.  It came down to the Mathews creed and the bow tech experience, same money I just could decide which one felt better to shoot!  So I went with the bow that was slightly heavier but faster.
       The bowtech experience took my money and I love it!!!!  Big thanks to Spokane valley archery for setting up all the boys and letting me take my time on picking one! Great shop go check them out if your in Spokane area. 

    Time to go knock down a 350 bull in the blues!!!

That's what it takes! Many different bows in the hand to find what feels best in yours! Those are two of the best choices out there as an opinion. Good luck on that bull!
