Razortec (6/3/2008)

All interesting choices that people put out. My self I shoot a hoyt razortec 03 model.
Went this year to get a Bowtech General,had a little sticker SHOOCK!!, or a new string for the hoyt. Long story short, got a new string. I shot indoors, on team, we took 1st overall and my teammate shoots a Gaurdian. It's all in what fits you and what you can afford.

I have owned different bows from PSE to Jennings, but for some reason my favorite
bow is a High Country Extreme. I have alot of fun on targets and on deer with it. I am currently
attempting to take a gobbler with it. I would not trade it for anything.

I've owned tham all about it...But I always go back to PSE.

2006 I tried all the top bows I could get my hands on and some less 'popular' brands (whisper creek, etc.)
I came home with the PSE Diablo.

I MIGHT upgrade to the X-Force if some things work out. The X-Force also has the BEST grip which was perfect for my hands and form.
The X-Force will give me the same bow dynamics and a LOT more speed.

Welcome to Mossy Oak's forum Whitetail! Great brand of bow you have there!

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

whitetail101 — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:18:24 GMT

PSE is my bow of choice and has been since I began hunting over 25 years ago.

I currently shoot a Mossy Oak X for 3D tournaments and a Thunderbolt X for hunting.

My confidence in the PSE product is why I joined the PSE Team to help promote the leading manufacturer of archery products on the market today.

Mathews by far is my favorite .... but after i shot my friends Browning ...it's hard to decide on

mathews , and fred bear series [ epic extreme ] , [truth 2 ]

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

Flintlock1776 — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:27:24 GMT

Mmmmmmmmmmmm so far only 35% for Mathews so that means the majority of folks want something other than Mathews

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

diesel250 — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:38:57 GMT

I voted parker. Ive only owned three bows, two of which where bear. No complaints with them either. I've shot a couple different ones but this parker is the one that has put he food on the table year after year. Dont fix what aint broke. Although looks like sonnyboy is outgrowing the browning so I guess I get new he gets parker.

Mthews all the way.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

Elk_Chaser — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 01:59:00 GMT

I shoot a Bowtech, but it was really luck of the draw between Bowtech and Matthews. When I decided to get back into archery after a twenty year pause, I felt that my 1980 Bear Whitetail Hunter was a bit outdated. I was determined to get either a Bowtech or a Matthews after doing some research and the first dealer I walked into carried Bowtech. They are great shooting bows...Now I just have to find a deer or elk that will let me get close enough to take a shot. It just isn't the same as using my 7mm!

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

travo — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:07:43 GMT

been loving my alpine so far. no on the list, though. if i had to pick from the list, id go martin. i didnt vote.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

I like a few wheelie bows, I still shoot my mathews nearly daily and have shot others. BUT ive always had a thing for Lever/Cam bows( ONIEDA ) and my new love, Lever/Lever ( MONSTER BOWS )

IMHO...

The monster bows phoenix tops all i have ever shot. I primarily shoot a hunting set up. Sometimes i will throw on a long stab and maybe a rear for some 3D's but i try to shoot what i hunt with or close to it.. The Phoenix is the ultimate hunting bow and the easiest one i have ever seen to tear down and adjust.. The whole bow without a press can be tore apart and adjusted with 2 allen wrenches..

I will have an opinion of there new Dragon later this year..

hutchies (11/29/2007)

I think your right about Mathews. Alot of companies don't really make target specific bows and by that I mean Longer ATA, Generous BH, and still pretty fast. Mathews does a good job of putting money into both ends of the market. Most companies just put some bows out and they are great bows but their target bows are the same as their hunting bows.......just painted instead of Camo dipped.

Hoyt makes some KILLER target bows.

I voted Hoyt. I shoot all the new bows every year and keep ending up with Hoyt. I have no bias, just like the better after giving all the others a chance. To me they are the perfect mix between smooth draw and raw speed.
My current collection of compounds is
80# Vulcan
60# Vectrix
80# Trykon XL
70# Ultratec(x2)
70# Havoctec

I'm looking real hard at getting the KateraXL this year and maybe an Ultra Elite or Pro Elite

Shortgunner — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 11:37:07 GMT

NY911Bowhunter — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:50:59 GMT

I think...and I say THINK, because I have not spent alot of time behind one yet - but I think that Mathews has an edge on target bows. The Apex 7 is a simply amazing shooter!

That said - I can nOT wait to shoot an Airborne from Bowtech....I want a General - but the Airbornes are looking better with each pic I see!

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

hutchies — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:35:39 GMT

Sweet...........I really like how PSE is building up the Browning line and not just using it as a test subject.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

Jason — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:23:47 GMT

I got a Browning Myst in today. Its a Christmas gift for my oldest. I can't want to shoot it!

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

hutchies — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:16:28 GMT

Nah.............She called and asked what I was doing today.........I told her not alot. It's a slow day at work, just looking at bows and dreaming like normal. She said well figure out which one you want and after Christmas you can go get it..............Which I was planning anyway. Income tax time at the latest. A year ago this time I would have bought it already but since she hasn't worked since like March the money ain't there to spend. I figure it will be just in time since indoor 3d is March and outdoor 3d will be shortly after............ Gonna keep my Illusion to hunt with.........probably.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

Was she taking some pain meds when she said this?? Did you get it in writing? Recoreded the conversation?? Just trying to make sure your bases are covered!!

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

hutchies — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:59:31 GMT

I'm going to shoot the Mathews Prestige and Apex 7 soon......... I keep talking myself out of buying one but my wife told me to pickout what I want...........Oh did she ever screw up.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

Jason — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:39:11 GMT

Like everyone here has already said...there are a lot of really good bows out there. Look at Primos, he put his name on a bow that only sold to Wal-Mart and now Fred Bear is back in the game and making really good bows. It took me from January 07 to June 07 to find a bow I liked. I shot a lot of bows during this time period. Just go to several pro shops and shoot some. About February 08 I'll be looking for a new bow again, I'm not going to look hard because I'm rather satisfied with my nail driver I have now. Just be patient and search around, ask questions, don't buy the first bow you see. Then once you pick out a bow, shop around for it. I got my Allegiance for $630, retail on that puppy is $749!

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

hutchies — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:20:36 GMT

Go shoot the Mathews, Hoyts, and Bowtechs.............All 3 are great brands and great bows.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

peregordusmc — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:02:28 GMT

Well i know people like many different kinds of bows and even some people own a few different kinds. I know of people who own around 8 or 9 bows but they still swear by a certain brand even though they own different brands. You always have your go-to-bow. I have only owned 3 bows. The first two were hand me downs and also Dartons. My third one i have had for 8 years now. Great bow no real complaints about it. I have shot many different bows and right now i still really like the Darton bows. I hear a lot of good things about bowtech and i think my next bow will be a bowtech (not for sure though, still researching) and retire my current bow to bowfishing only. im not asking this question to see what i should buy, its just a curiousity question to see what people say about their favorites and their least favorites.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

FL_Cracker — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 09:13:23 GMT

Weatherby, Ruger, and Marlin...

No I got one of them stick and string contraptions too....it's called a PSE Vengeance I think....correct me if I'm wrong Jason..... but keep that on the DOWN LOW....I don't want the DNR to hear about it. I'm pretty sure you have to have a special license to hunt with them as they are extremely lethal on the whitetails.....it's really unfair...but I need all the help I can get....

cinch314 — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 08:50:53 GMT

Love my Fred Bear but prolly gonna have to have Kyle or Hutchies help me out with switching the cams. No I havent done it yet.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

hutchies — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 08:19:48 GMT

If I had the money there is a huge list I would love to have.

Mathews Apex7 and Prestige
Hoyt Vulcan and Proelite
Bowtech Guardian, Commander, 82nd, 101st, and the ole trusted......Allegiance
Elite Envy.........and the Synergy

God there are so many really really good bows. It's all about what fits you. I could go on and on with this list because there are so many great bows. Hard to chose just one.

RE: Favorite Bow Company?

NY911Bowhunter — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 07:53:36 GMT

HEY NOW OZ!!! I resemble that remark!

True, I am a converted Bowtech shooter....but I have not shot them long enough to really decide.

I voted Mathews....
