RE: Switching Bow Brands
bottom line is I am going to buy whatever brand and model performs the best for me whether it Bowtech, Mathews, Hoyt or Ross
I have to agree, except for the Mathews part. [:'(]

RE: Switching Bow Brands
Same as when I am shooping for a gun....thye one that givems the best bang for the buck. I am about performance not brand name....I shoot my Reflex and love it. Probably stick with them or Hoyt, but I am always open to a change.

RE: Switching Bow Brands
I used to be a loyal customer of a certain brand. But they changed to a riser design I don't particularly care for. And compounds today are so close in performance and quality that I doubt I'll ever have that kind of brand loyalty again. Like said above, now it's whoever makes bows that give the best bang for the buck.
I really like the Bear TRX I got on closeout last year for $200.

RE: Switching Bow Brands
I am not now or have I ever been loyal to any company. I don't care as much as most about the performance of a bow, a car, a fishing reel etc. If I like it I like it and if I don't I don't.. it's just that simple.
I've always thought that alot of hunters put way to much insight on their bow and it's performance and not enough insight on their target animal.. but that's just me.

RE: Switching Bow Brands
Back in the 90's, I was a nut for high end graphite fly rods. Loomis, Scott, Sage, Winston, etc. Always trying and buying them. Still have over 20 and each one has a place in the fishing world. Some smoother and softer - some faster - some real fast. I see these bows as a similar comodity.
Right now, I have a Hoyt Pro Tec and a Fred Bear Element. Not much interested inseriously considering the purchase ofother bows at this point. Both of these shoot very well and cover all my hunting needs.
