I have the Buffalo and I really like it. With the limb bolts being adjustable you can set the tiller for your shooting style, split or three under, and adjust the draw weight a pound or two. They are smooth, fast, and quiet. Of coarse they have to be tuned like any other bow. That's my two cents, for what it's worth.

My Dorado is the favorite among my bows. I like the mass weight and grip especially. I can't miss with it...well, most of the time.

I have had all 3. They are all fine bows. The Buffalo, imo,is tops, or would be if it had a rest hole. Still, all are good shooters.

Hoyt can afford the best engineering money can buy. It shows in these bows.

Never shot a Buffalo or a Gamemaster, but I can tell you the Dorado is a sweet shooting bow, I feel it shoots as well as many customs.  Great tough no frills hunting bow.  Frankly I don't understand so many guy's obsession to convert them to ILF...they're designed to be simple and bulletproof, the factory Hoyt limbs are just fine.  I added a Tight Spot quiver and stabilizer to mine along with the FF string/beaver balls it already had on it and its crazy quiet.  Awesome accuracy too.

All the Hoyt bows I've shot have been great.

Besides, they just look b@dass!  I love my wood feast custom bows as much as the next guy, but these Hoyt's just have some real hunter tacti-cool going on-  Rambo's choice!  Hahaha.

I've got a Dorado and it is awesome. I think you cant go wrong with any of the Hoyt bows.  They are well built and preform great.

I've been shooting a Buffalo for two years. Great hunting bows and designed to be shot off the shelf. No need for elevated rests or plungers at all.

I have a hoyt desperado. The bow was only made in 1996. I don't know why, but I have never shot a bow that well. You can't go wrong with a hoyt!
