Share your favorite brand when it comes to bow hunting, and why that is!!

Bear- does the job just as good as any of the others and didn't cost me an arm and a leg.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Following for curiosity sake...I just bought my first bow... a Hoyt, so its not really my favorite, just my first. It was used at a reasonable price.

Bowtech.  Tried a few Mathews and Hoyt bows, but always end up going back to the Bowtech.  I like how they shoot.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I really like my PSE EVO 7.  :tup: It's got a comfortable draw cycle and a solid draw stop. It might be easy to shoot because it's set at 45#. It shoots arrows right through deer so I guess it's strong enough.

I was considering a Bowtec a few years ago because my friend is on their pro staff and they shot great for me, but I wound up winning a brand new Limbsaver bow and could not be happier with it!  I was really surprised on how well it shoots.  Much better than the PSE and Mathews that I had tried.  I've never been one of those "gotta have the latest and greatest" sheep.

Hoyt and elite. Love how they draw and hold on target. Well made, durable and quiet too. They're just the most accurate and consistent for me.  I love how easy they are to work on as well.  I will shoot any brand though as long as it fits, feels good, and Im consistent with it.

I loved my High Country!  It has taken a TON of critters but when it came to retire it, High ountry didn't have anything new to offer that I liked.  I still have it as my back up bow.
