I know not a whole lot of people bow hunt on here but i figured i would wright up a review on some of the new bows out their for the future bow hunters.
1. Bow Tech Destroyer 350/340: Of all the bows that i have got to shoot recently this one ranks up there as one of the best. Has a surprisingly smooth and even draw cycle. Is very very quite to be as fast as it is. Has a very shallow valley before you hit the wall and the wall is soft to where it doesn't hurt when you hit it but still firm to prevent over draw. The new riser design balances the bow very well with just a cheap stabilizer on it. But all this greatness comes at a high price (800-900). Right now i couldn't justify paying that for a bow so i would wait on this guy.
2. Matthews Z7 (reg and extreme): Matthews has always been known for the smoothness of their bows. But these two don't hold up to that. Many others that shoot them say they are silky smooth, but when i shot them they were not nearly as smooth as the bow techs. But don't let this scare you away from them. They are both very quite and are still very smooth bows. They are also fairly fast to be matthews. They have never been known for their speed but you can get 300ibo outta them with a 400 flatline and just 65lbs and 28in. For the price (600-700) This is also a bow i would pass on till later.
3. Strothers Vanquish: This bow had to be the biggest let down so far. I have seen so much hype about their smoothness and it was smooth, until you hit the valley. Then it shows its true color. It is horrific when you hit it. You had to crank it hard to hit the wall and when you did you hit it hard. Now even though the draw cycle sucks on, it is extremely quite. And if you can get past the draw on it this is a bow i would consider for the price (400-500).
4: Bow Tech Assassin: This. bow. is. amazing. period. Out of all mentioned above this is the bow that i would buy (price considered). It is a very smooth draw and i struggle to pull 70lb which is what the i shot was set at. But with an 80% let off, i could hold it there all day and not get the pumps. The cycle was fairly smooth, and the balance of this thing was unbeliveable. I literaly did a thumb and index hold without drawing and it was perfectly balanced. The only thing i dont like about this bow is that you can't buy it bare bow. You have to buy whats called a RAK (ready aim kill) package. But you can take the package pieces off add sell em or have back ups. At a price of 499 out the door this has to be the buy of the year.
These are the most recent and the shop didn't carry hoyts but i'm a hoyt guy so i'll be sure to shot some and add on.
