I shot the Deadzone and i loved it shot the mathews and a few others thats new for 2008.. The only thing I really didn't like was the handel but thats easy to fix..

I never shot it, Virg. Just fondled it at the show.

I was interesting for sure. The grip was just too fat for my liking. That would have to go. I did hear somewhere that they were already streamlining the grips.
The limbcups were a little homely but I guess that design is where most of their "quiet" comes from.

Scotty when you shot it how did the grip feel? I was a skeptic at first............

I agree - the limb pocket thingees are butt ugly - maybe if the were camo it would be nicer.

BUT....the bow is NICE! It has some nice details built in - the grip id perfect at full draw - a little bulky compared to BT's grips, but slimmer than Mathews and it PROMOTES great hand placement.

Draw cycle is nice as well.[/quote]

Dude, no way is the grip slimmer than the Mathews. I played with the Limbsaver bow at the Springfield show. It's like a solid 2x4. The Mathews grips have more curves to them.

The only complaint that I have is for me its a little heavy. Even at 29" it held perfectly. The bulbous grip had a lot of thought placed into it thats for sure.

Its not as light as some of the others but not too bad IMO...I'll leave the wuss jokes alone for now HTH! HA HA HA

It's not that appealing to my eye......... but that's not what a bow is all about either.

How was the "draw cycle" and the release on it Nerd?

naaa...go Bowtech...you'll never shoot another bow!!

I have no need to buy a new bow and if I have the cash I may just do it...

I should be shooting a bow that Joe sells since he hooks me up and such...should return the favor...

I've been on the fence with a new bow and now I'm on the fence between the Slayer and this one, the DZ!

I just couldn't buy that bow. A bow is like a woman..........It needs to be pretty and have some nice curves.

First I'd seen of one! Heard about them through the grapevine though.

You thinking about getting one?
