#1 Hoyt maxxis 35
#2 Bowtech 82nd airborne
I haven't spent much time behind it but I think when I do the carbon matrix will take the #1 spot.

I've shot many bows over the last 30 years and loved most of them. It's how well YOU shot the bow that matters.
Right now I have the Mathews Rivel Pro and the Mathews Reezen. I like the Rivel Pro best.

Hard to beat that draw cycle and shock. It's a bow that a guy could have for 30 years and not need to buy into the faster hype since it hits hard enough to take anything on the planet.

I shot a Hoyt Spectra/FastFlite for 12 years. Every last one of my buddies in the industry started calling me "Old School" and urged me to change. They all thought I was crazy as I had the ability to shoot anything I wanted. I took at least 30 animals in that 12 years and only missed two that I can recall. Sure wish my success ratio was that good today.
I workout everyday now getting ready for a Dall sheep hunt in NWT. That bow hangs right beside my elliptical. Each time my aging heart rate raises above 140 I think it starts calling to me "Take Me! Take Me! Take Me!" I have about seven other bows, newer, faster, lighter all hanging there too. But, none of them ever say a word to me in my dazed pre-stroke hallucination. That baby sure loves to kill animals. I just might have to dust her off and head north.
