What bow is everyone shooting this year?

I have a halon 6. Have you had any tuning issues? I can’t keep mine tuned.
Mine was acting up until I put new strings and cables on it. The top hat system is kinda a pain compared to yoke tuning though.

The authority was a gem of a budget bow. Mathews sold the cam to Bear. I wish I had bought one when they quit making them and we clearanced them out. I could have got the kit for under $200, brand new
I havent had much experience with other bows,but i really like Bear bows.
Part of the allure of this one is that i know i can teach myself about bows without having to worry about breaking a $1000+ bow
Yea it is! I love Mathews bows but I’m about to get something else until they do away with the top hat tuning. I don’t have a press and the two local shops don’t know how to swap them. If it would stay in tune it wouldn’t bother me but I finally got it right last year after months of frustration. Then this year I put new strings on and it’s doing it again.
The elite kure looks interesting for tuning without a press. Although I have a elite ritual and I just don't trust it in the woods. I'm not the gentlest with my gear. I need bomb proof Mathews or hoyt

Still using the Bowtech Realm I got last year.
What would get you guys to buy a new bow? For whatever reason, I have no desire to buy a new one ever, but you basically need to convince me not to buy a new gun.
To me, what I have is already super smooth and easy to shoot. The only things that would get me to upgrade is significant speed increase (for my short DL) without impacting shootability, or something that makes it easier to work on and tune the bow. The only other bow I'd want is some sort of trad bow.

All the new bows are nice, but I couldn't find enough of a reason to shell out a grand or more. I know guys taking 150"+ bucks with 10 year old bows.

I’ve been looking at the elite ritual also. Did you have any issues tuning it? I don’t like the idea of the cable guard tuning. Why don’t you trust it? Would you recommend them?
Dumping my 2016 Hoyt Defiant and going back to my old 2004 Hoyt Protec. Wish I could find another Protec for a backup bow.

Bear Kuma 30 awesome bow. Only down side it i have to fletch arrows often Im thinking i need to shoot different spots on my target to countermeasure this.
Long draw really limits your selection!!!! I shot a pse vendetta for years & killed a ton of w/it.
How do you like the ritual? Any issues? Would you recommend them? Was it tough to tune?
