I have a small gun/archery shop and have shot many bows. I recently bought a new bow for my up and coming elk hunt in AZ. All I have to say is check out Pearson bows!! The Diamondback VX is a smooth drawing bow, or the Freedom and Edge are more like a Matthews or Bowtech in configuration. Pearson is a small company with fantastic customer service. They make a very high quality bow with A LIFETIME WARRANTY.
