Which bow shoulda I choose?

Hoyt Charger with FUSE pack that I can get locally or a Bowtech Assassin with RAK, which I'd have to order online. Both very similar to same price... Which one should I get?

Can you shoot an Assasin somewhere locally?  

It's hard to beat having proshop support.......

I like to go by what I shoot better/what fits better, but proshop support is also important.

So far I haven't found anyone around here that has the assassin. However there is a proshop down the road that I thought about checking out.

This. That's why I can't vote in your poll - only you can answer that question for yourself.

Same here. You really need to shoot both, back to back if you can.

Interestingly, I went bow shopping for the first time today at two different shops, shot several bows by BowTech, Hoyt and Matthews, and the Hoyt Charger and BowTech Assassin came away as the two best bow/packages for me e.g. fit & feel, accuracy, price (identical: $649). It would really be a coin toss for me personally to know which one to buy. Probably the only advantage for me in getting the Assassin over the Charger is the BowTech shop is 15-20 minutes closer to my house. Beyond that though, I really don't know how to decide between the two.

See, that's my delima, the Charger is at the shop closest to me that ive looked at. That's probably the only reason I may go with the Hoyt. BUT I still have to check out the shop thats even closer to my house.

Sorry this has been a late "update", I ended up going with Neither....

My Boss gave me an offer I couldn't refuse on a Bow that he had only for a bit and was looking to replace. He said it was too heavy for him even at the lowest draw weight.

Anyway, Its a Darton 3500Pro, its a nice bow and shoots great! He had only shot a dozen arrows and put it away, had it for a while and decided to get back into bow hunting again. He said instead of using this one he'd just buy a new bow.
