I would imagine that you are going to get a plethora of answers to this question. I have shot a bunch of the ones listed and I have to say that JK Traditions Kanati is sweet!!! I have a 51@28 and it is a rocket launcher!!!

noticed you were looking at teh beeler tracker. I had one for a little bit. Loved the grip, smooth draw and really was a great shooter. But it wasnt the fastest bow out there.

For the money and the service you get, a guy just can't beat a Lost Creek Bow PERIOD...You really owe it to yourself to talk to Chad before you decide to buy a bow.

I bought one last year right after I started this post,(don't know how it back up again) a JK Traditions Kanati and loved it, took my first traditional deer with it. This spring it was stolen out of my garage and I miss her. Good thing I have a backup until I save enouogh to get another. Thanks for all the responses.

Sorry to hear about your Kanati. I can see how you miss her badly. I would miss mine badly too if she were missing.

You made a good choice in buying a Kanati. Keep your eyes peeled and you just might be able to find another one in the classifieds.

I bought a cascade brush hawk this winter. It's a very good shooting bow with no handshock. I'm very pleased with it. I shot one at Denton Hill a couple of years ago and really liked it. Finally ordered one in Sep. and got it right before Christmas.

I'd have to agree with the Thunderchild
