I really like my strothers infinity. Don't know if it is the best out there, pretty subjective to the individual, but it is quiet, fast and fun to shoot.

z7 is a great bow, but for me after testing every new top of the line bow this year the monster was the best fit for me.

My mathews LX is an awesome bow. I got a Z7 this year so my son can use the LX. Both are great and smooth,

I shot 8 or 9 different bows when I was shopping for a new one. When I shot the Mathews Reezen, I bought it. None of the other bows I shot came close.

my mathews reezen is sweet. very hard wall, and once your in its locked and ready and is like a bull ready to be turned out. the only thing its quite and smooth shooting. my last 3 bows have been mathews. never have shot hoyt, so i can't really compare. won one at a raffle, but never shot it. don't shoot bowtech, nor will i ever. used to be shop shooter for martin. martin fury, pantera, and one i can't remember.

For me it is the Bowtech Destroyer 340. I have not shot the 350. I have owned and shot a lot of bows in the last 5 years and My 340 has out shined them all.
The bows I have owned in the last 5 or so years are:
Hoyt Trykon
Hoyt Vectrix
Bowtech Guardian
Maitland Retribution
HCA Speed Pro X10
Currently own:
Hoyt Maxxis 31 (Awesome bow!)
Bowtech Destroyer 340
Have shot:
Mathews DXT
Mathews M7
Mathews Z7
Don't get me wrong, the rest of these bows are all great bows but I still feel the Destroyer 340 is the best bow I have shot so far.
I really want to try out the Invasion!

i have a cabelas series bow from 05 or 06 that wa made by hoyt. i love it. shoots on a dime, is fairly quiet and very user friendly. had a buddy do the tune up when i first got it and did ok but not what i expected. i took it to cabelas in lacey and had them tune it, dave did it, and it shot incredibly well after that. was surprised at he difference in performance and doubly impressed how the staff at cabelas treated the whole thing. there was ten people behind waiting and they werent satisfied until i was satisfied. was a great experience if you need a place to get urs tuned and ready. very knowledgeable.ive shot a few diamonds and didnt like them and the same with mathews and martins. nice bows for sure but not for me

i bought a mathews Q2XL 10 years ago and it still shoots like a dream. these past few months my son wanted to buy his first bow so we went to a few shops and he shot the bow techs, an alpine and finally settled on the mathews z7 "something something"...don't know the exact model but dang that thing shoots nice....I'll probably upgrade my mathews in a few years but am still shooting lights out with my "old" one for now
