The Hi performance bows are Hi end. I shot several brand over many years. I was partial to the PSE> I am behind times now and am not up on the latest and greatest. I think the Mathews is the top of the line. If I was in the market for a new bow that is where I would start looking. Dont go to a pawn shop and buy just any bow. The draw length is critical. If it is too long or too short you cant shoot it. Dont get more poundage than you can handle. Good luck with your hunting!
