RE: I need a new bow!-Is yours the best?
pinmaster, I'm curious. What difference does draw length make in the shootability of the BKII? I draw 29", and my P38 DC shoots fine. I shot one at 30" (too long for me) and saw no difference. If you're used to the Mmmaaattt...., you probably have a hard time with the extra speed.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

pdq,
Though not necessarily agreeing with him I would say that a 2 inch increase in draw length can definitely add to different shooting characteristics of any given bow. The most obvious difference is the increase in stored and released energy thus making any bow louder with more noise and recoil. The longer draw length creates a longer power stroke which means that the bow is going to be less forgiving of shooting errors. Any bow at a 30 inch draw length is going to be noisier with more recoil and vibration and more critical to shoot than a 28 inch draw length model if both bows are using identical setups. But then again, rarely would someone use the same arrows with a two inch difference in draw length...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Now, back to the original question...
....no question, Hoyt Razortec. Just shoot it. It speaks for itself.

Sorry to hear that you haven't found the right bow yet. Should have tried a Martin. My cougar speed flite is 12 years old and it has never failed me. If you want to go to the bow shop every year a few times to get your expensive bow fixed when it fails you, get one of those other bows.
But if you want a bow that will last and hunt with you year after year get a Martin.
But I am only shooting 1" groups at 20 yards with fingers and muzzy broadheads, Maybe those other bows are more accurate.

im not related although i found his review to be helpful and accurate. i also think that both the mathews and the bowtechs were good solid bows but the razortech seems to have all of it in one package at least for me it does.

No David..it isn't me. Honest, I swear! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
The easiest way of telling the difference is the fact that he publicly admitted to owning some Mathews....<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
