After testing out eight hunting bows over the past several months, it's time for the annual ArcheryTalk Hunting Bow Shootout.

In this video, I break down the bows in a number of different categories, picking a winner or two in each category. Then I pick my favorite bow of the year.

Here are the challengers, in the order they arrived.

Mathews Lift 29.5
Elite Ethos
Hoyt Alpha X 33
Bowtech CORE SR
APA Black Mamba 33
Bear Whitetail Maxx
Xpedition XLite 29
Prime RVX 34
