I started with a Martin Warthog - Wood riser and heavy gold colored cams - I liked it, did not know any different back then. After that I shot a PSE Vector II - that was a pretty decent bow. Moved on to a Hoyt Ram Hunter (just before the Rambo) and have been shooting mainly hoyts ever since. Probably a dozen or so in the last 20 years mostly Protecs and Ultratecs - a Charger for about 3 years and now shooting a 2016 Defiant 30 and can say it is easily the best hunting bow I have ever shot - not bad as a target bow either. I won our winter leagues and shot the high qualifying round of a local tourney in the BHFS class with it.
