I am trying to decide between the axe and the maxxis. The draw cycle on the PSE AXE is wayyyyyyyyyyyy smooth,,,the only downside is there is a little vibration on the shot..the Maxxis is pretty smooth but no vibration and VERY QUIET....

those are my top 2 picks...but really if you cant find the animals within bow range who cares..maybe use a pocket knife.....

AXXXXXXXXEEEEEEEEEEEE lol i am biest :chuckle: also i don't know was the axe you shot setup with a stabilizer quad shocks etc did it have all the virbration dampening thing on it that you will have when you get it i am sure that it will take all of it out. my local pro shop leaves the metal rod that holds the bow in place on the rack when people come to shoot can you say twang? i always take them out to shoot the bow. if it does not a have stabilzer on it shoot it with one and i am sure you will be fine. i also own hoyt bows but i don't like the new maxxis myself

The new hoyts are wicked sweet but you pay for it. The limbsaver dz32 is for giving and less money .

I currently own a Hoyt AM32 and I love it but....... if I could pick the best bow out there this year it would be the Bowtech Destroyer handsdown.  I shot the 340 with a 7 inch brace height which made it very forgiving,  It was also super fast had a silky smooth draw cycle, solid back wall, quiter than anything I've shot and was dead in the hand with no vibe.  Basically the perfect bow IMHO.  Try it I promise you'll love it.

im a hoyt fan but would check out the mathews z7 or the destroyer 340 if looking outside of hoyt. check out the head to head on bowsite.com they have the results up for this years bows.

I wouldn't really trust bowsite.com on that bow test.  I went on that website and right up front one of their biggest sponsors is Mathews.  Not that they don't make a good bow I am highly skeptical of a bow comparison done by someone who is sponsored by one of those bows.   :twocents:
