I own a Bowtech Allegiance, this is a sweet shooting bow, no vibration, good balance. I really like shooting my Bow(tech)
I had a Diamond Black Ice and a 82nd Airborne. The Black Ice is still around and got some upgrades this year. Very smooth, pretty quick ( 291 fps with 383 gr arrow @29") and ultra quiet. The 82nd was not bad for the bow that it was.
82nd Airborne
Pros:
It shoots good.
It's fast.
It's accurate.
It's consistant.
It has a cool name honoring our military as do most BowTech bows.
When it (and all 82nds) was bought new, BowTech made a donation to www.TAPS.org
No hand shock.
It's a good looking bow.
347 gr arrow, 61.5#, 29" draw: 305 fps
Cons:
Depending on the model year:
2009 - There are no cons.
2008 and before - The position of the string stop is weird.

I am shooting a Matthews Outback for the 6th year. That should tell you how I feel about it. Last year I went in and was going to buy the Switchback. Guy behind the counter told me to stay with the Outback it was a better bow than the Switchhback. I have had no complaints with the Outback so far. It has done everything that I have asked it to do except take out the trash. I had a problem with it last year but it turned out it was my ageing eyes and not the bow.
I have a 07 Hoyt vectrix and it shoots smooth and fast.
verry tough this is my second Hoyt and I would highly recommend them to any one who wants a Great Bow.

I'm still shooting a Mathews Switchback, although not the latest and greatest from Mathews, but still a great shooting bow.
If it is anything like my Outback, you have one of the greatest!!
We are thinking about getting a couple of bows, recurves. Oh, how are you doing Mr. Burnham?
I'm not a hunter so I prefer longer ATA target style bows. My current favorite is a Martin Razor X with Nitrous cams and the shoot through system. I have a mint Martin Scepter coming in this week so we'll see how it compares. I just shoot in my backyard so I'm not an expert bow person - I just like to shoot...
