Heres the thing that know one has said. Don't shoot a bow for the name or the price....... I work at outcast an am currently shooting a "ROSS" love it, but it is not for everyone. Different bows are going to feel different for everyone. SOme people want a fast bow, some want a smooth bow. O.K. heres the things go shoot every bow before you buy one don't take what someone else says about a bow until you have personally shot one. I will personally set up any bow in the shop and let you shot them. The ross i shot is the cardiac i shot 281 with a hunting set up, not the fastest but will definitely get the job done i got the videos to prove it.

Last season I chose the Ross Cardiac over the Drenalin. I shot both and thought that the Ross was smoother and quieter. I have love shooting this bow. I think that the Drenalin was slightly faster, but it seemed really rough. I also don't know if I trust a bow with no limb pockets.
I think Ross has since sold out to Quest. Different name, same great product.

Ross is now a divison of Bowtech, at least that's what the BowTech site implies. BBob

Ross used to be it's own company but the parts were made by G5 and assembled by Ross. Bowtech just purchased Ross so Bowtech will be making all the parts and keeping the Ross name.

| Yes Bowtech did buy Ross and will only be making two bows in the line for next year. Both will be a Cardiac 31" and a 33" I believe. Changes for next year will be an added draw stop which makes for a nice wall at full draw, and the grips will be changed to a bowtech style I'm sure to fit the laser and heated grips they sell and a rolling mod in stead of a changeable mod so there is no extra mods needed to change the draw length.

Tom, I personally would buy the hoyt. the matthews were good bows a few years ago. since the drenaline came out they have had tons of problems. I shoot the asa and the ibo all over the country and hoyt is hands down a better built bow. But you also have to make tom happy Bowtech has a recall on the general so i wouldnt recomend it. Also try the new pearson tx4 that bow is quiet and super fast. but i would shoot every bow i could get my hands on then make a decision dont just buy a name. still recomend the hoyt katerra though

| Daddytime, I just went through the same thing. I have been hunting with a Black Widow Recurve for the last 8 years and decided I wanted a compound. After much research and talk I went with the Bowtech General. There are several publications that rank the General tops in the overall. There is also a really good video Bowtech General Review on Youtube. It is considered a great shooter and most likely the quietest shooting bow on the market. And yes the limb recall affects me so I have to go through the pain of getting them changed out for free. The hardest part for me was choosing the sights and rests (so many options). Good Luck. p.s. I looked real hard at the Mission line up of bows. Great bow for the money. They are owned by Mathews.

| I shot hoyt's for 10 or so years. The best bow they have ever made in my book is the hoyt Stryker with Redline cam and the Tenacity was a close second. I still have my Stryker and it still shoots great. It is now my back up bow though. I decided to get a new bow 5 years ago and I wasn't sold on the cam 1/2 deal. It's still a 2 cam bow. I like the ease of tuning on the single cams and after shooting a mathews LX that's what I went with. I've yet to shoot another bow that I thought out performed it. Some comparable but not enough to make me go spend $1000 for it. The only bow that I thought was close was the Ross Cardiac. I saw them for $350 on clearance a few months ago and wish I had gotten one just to have. I don't see the deal with the cam 1/2. They aren't shooting any faster and it's just something else to get out of sync. Not saying a single cam can't get out of tune. 2 cams means twice the worry to me...same thing with the split limbs...what's the benefit and does it out weigh the possibility of malfunctioning. Maybe Hoyt will come back out with a single cam one day.

| Wow-this thread has been great. Thanks to all of your for your input. Stan at Mikes let me take home an outfitted Mathews DXT over the weekend. I visited Outcast on Friday and shot the Ross Cardiac, Bowtech 101st Airborne and General. I was most comfortable with the General, so after they changed out the limbs (Recall everyone is referring to) they let me take it with me. Spent some time outside yesterday PM shooting both and...the General felt best. Off to Buck and Bass this AM to shoot the General vs. the Hoyt Katera. They both felt good, but the Hoyt felt best to me. I still am not 100%, but leaning toward the Hoyt. I returned the DXT to Stan this AM and told him the Mathews wasn't for me. As I thought, he had a great attitude. Thanks to him and Anthony at Outcast for letting me walk out for a weekend with thier equipment. Try that at Bass Pro Shop. Again, thanks for all your input and please support your local fishing and hunting outfitters.  th
