PSE Laser or Evoke
APA Black Mamba
Elite Kure
Bear Legit
Bowtech Specialist II
If anyone has or had experience with one of these - would greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Only bow I can speak on this list for is the bear legit. So far it’s been a fairly straight shooting bow that I haven’t had any major issues with. A couple things I’d point out from my experience. If you buy the RTH package expect to change the sight, it’s very hard to make minor adjustment and the pins are pretty bulky taking up most of the target at 60 yards I find. Other thing is I’ve had issues with hardware backing out, especially the bolts holding the cam to adjust draw length. I opened my case one time drew back the bow and the cam dropped to the floor, inspected and found both bolts in the top cam missing, one in the bottom missing and the last bolt half backed out. I have since installed new hardware but still have this issue. Just means tightening the bolts up any time I finish shooting at the range. Not a huge deal more of an inconvenience. Lastly the bow is loud out of the box. I’m sure there’s ways to quiet it down but if you ever decided to hunt with it that’s something that could be a big problem. My best advise is to go to your closest archery shop and shoot as many bows as you can. That’s the only way you will find what works best for you.
