Here's a couple pics of the new powerhawk from Hoyt that I just purchased. It shot real quiet, and max's out around 320 fps from what the specs say. This was by far one of the more comfortable bows that fit me. 

Why type of bow does everyone shoot?

i shoot a 06 bowtech old glory its a bit long (just below 40 inchs) but is surpisingly(sp) light and its fast 318fps. also very quiet. i shoot it at 70lbs but i have to turn it way down for the up coming turkey season. i have a whisker biscuit rest, not sure of the sites, they came on it and they work great so i never replaced them. with limb saver leeches and a limb saver stabilizer. i pull at 29 1/2 inchs but i like pulling a longer draw, its just more comfortable so i pull 31"... i shoot gold tip carbon arrows with 2 inch vanes and the muzzy MX4 broadheads

Nice looking bow 22lex. I had the Reflex Grizzly, also a Hoyt product, and it was a great bow. I'm sure you will be very happy with it.

I'm shooting a 09 Mathews Reezen 7.0 this year.  Its running a 30" draw and pushed my CX Maxima Hunters (427 grains) at 306 fps, that'll do.
