Best 4 Bows Running
Alright, I'm doing this just to shake you guys up a little bit. Say I'm looking for a new hunting bow. But hey, I also love shooting 3D and I certainly wouldn't turn down a challenge on the indoor range. So I need just one single bow that would cover everything. I've got (what I've gathered as) the best 4 bows that are currently on the market, to choose from. Here is the list:
1. Hoyt Alphamax 35
2. PSE X-Force
3. Mathews Monster
4. Bowtech Admiral
Notice not all of them are the same ATA, but they are still very versatile bows. Now taking into effect that I only want to max my poundage out at 60 pounds, I will be lacking in the speed department. So what I'm asking is, bare bones, hands down, what bow do you guys think is superior to the rest and why? I know I'm going to be getting all different answers but I want to know why you thought so and if and how much experience you've had with the others.

With what you have I would say the Hoyt.
But while I was at the 3-D National Trail Shoot. The most common bows were Hoyt, Darton, PSE, and Mathews.
I shoot Darton now you could check them out thier IBO is measured at 60# with 28". I would stay with the pro line.

I have not shot any of the four you have listed. However, of the four the AM 35 is the only one I would even consider. Not into the speed bow thing and I've had great luck with Hoyts in the past. That being said I now have two Alpine Venturas, one for hunting and one for targets (indoors and 3D). This is the only bow I need.

If you want a great all around bow, you should consider the Bowtech Sentinel in place of the Admiral due the the longer ATA. I'd forget about the monster and x-force unless you are an extremely good archer with excellent form. These bows will be pretty much useless at spots and 3D in the hands of the average archer.

Specwise, the Am35 is the one on your list that would have the best chance to perform all 3 duties well- and I OWN an Admiral too (Shoots extermely well, but a 31" bow? spots? not for me).
That said, I'm just not gelling with my AM35 (CPS/C.5s and me never get along it seems), so I'd go off the list and look at the BowTech Sentinel, Elite XLR ,or the Elite GT500.
