I have not heard anything but positive reviews of A&H bows. I have not shot one my self but the only negative to me about them is all the ones I have ever seen don't have wood veneers over the carbon back and belly (aesthetics but if I am going to put out that kind of money for a bow I want some fancy wood on the limbs). Kirk builds some awesome bows, again based on reviews on here, never shot one myself but they would be my top pick. Another bow to consider is 3Rivers T-hawk Legacy series. It's not quite as fast as some of the others but it is a very nice bow and built tough
