Hayseed, there are a LOT of good bows out there! You need to go to a reputable bow shop and shoot some to determine which one you like the most. That'll be the "best" one for you! Bows all shoot different and no one make or model is the 'best', they all have something to offer but when you shoot "the one", you'll know! ;D

I have to agree with Kelly on that. Go to a good bow shop and shoot a couple of different ones and see what feels the best to you.

I Agree with tha others. Shoot differnt bows. Im kinda one sided on this I shoot a Hoyt Razortec. Great shootin bow its fast. short axle to axle. And very quiet. Easy to keep in tune. i will admit not tha best forgiving bow. Cause of tha short ATA. But has a good brace height of 7 1/4 inches. U do need to figure out what type of hunting u will be doing most of tho. like ground stand Tree stand r spot and stalk. For ground stand r spot and stalk u can get a longer ATA its more forgiving. One more thing about tha Hoyt is tha 2 1/2 inches u can ajust tha draw lenght. Lots of bows just come in one draw lenght. Draw lenght is tha most imporant adjustment on a bow. So have fun lookin and shootin bows

If your serious about High Country, be sure to ask the bowshop about the cams. Last year when I got my bow(not a high country), the bow shop was saying something about a recall on all current models. they said that they had two bows blow up sitting on the rack!! Something about faulty cams. As for me, I shoot a Buckmasters G2 not so much out of choice, but out of necessity. My draw length is only 25 1/2 inches, and this is one of the few adult mens bows that goes that small.

PSE is pretty good, so is Matthews, but they are high dollar. Just choose a good bowshop and talk to them

Kellyg is right. You should shoot some different bows and shoot the one that feels the best and is the most comfortable.

As for a quality bow, the Matthews would be hard to not look at if money was no object. You can't argue with success. All these tournament shooters and winners wouldn't be putting their livelyhood and name on the line shooting a Matthews if they didn't think it was the most accurate and reliable bow they could get. They hold up and are a very accurate bow.

Good luck.

I must agree here! Try them before you buy! But also realize that most bow shops think the bows they deal in are the best no matter what, It's just the way to run a business, If you have a Darton dealer near by make sure you look into them also, Not the cheapest bow out there but some of the best I have shot in awhile, I shoot a darton Maverick and love it! Very smooth and forgiving. I'm not sure who on here will agree or not, But try to stay with a single cam bow, I'm not sure how many companies are NOT making them now but they can take a lot of the headache out of tuning a bow
