Bow "Roll Call"

Just got back from being out west and doing some 3D shoots, and I noticed that the most popular bow out there was BowTech and Ross? How bout that. I mean don't get me wrong I saw my fair share of Mathews and Hoyt, but was impressed by the nice mixture.

So I wondered what everyone around here was using, and I know this forum reaches many other states so I wondered what they might be using in your area.

So please posted your Bow Specs, and what made you go with that choice. Lets not turn this into a Flame War Such as "Mine is bigger than Yours" but maybe use this as a tool for why and what you look for in a good bow.

Thanks Again,

I choose the Defiant over a Mathews because the Mathews made the slightest little creek when the cam rolled over
 
So Ross has some converts...interesting. I never did get to try one out like I had hoped to. Around here Mathews and Hoyt get pimped heavily by the pro shops.
