Need a new bow

Postby Blackduck » Mon Mar 02, 2015 10:18 pm

Going to get back into it. Leaning toward a bowtech. I know the mathews are pretty popular around here. Plan on pulling the trigger sometimes this summer. That is all

I just did the same thing. And had both brands on the table as well. Ended up going with the Matthews Creed XS. Been shooting it for a month or so now and it's a bad little dude. My draw length is only 26 inches so a small frame bow suits me better plus it makes it easier to deal with hunting in tight quarters. I hadn't rigged out a new bow for a good while and well let's just say I've got more in it than most all of my gun setups.

I have been shooting Bowtech for the last 7 years. Still shooting my Admiral....would love a newer model but just cant seem to let this one go.....I really think they are all great bows....hoyt, matthews, etc. You will get the die hards on here that knock this and knock that mine is better than ya ya................shoot what you like

Shoot as many as you can then go to archerytalk.com and buy a used one for half the price.

I shot a bunch and Hoyt felt by far the most comfortable and shootable for me, but it's different for everyone. They all get the job done, especially wit a good heavy arrow and broad head. I bought a essentially brand new Hoyt faktor for $650 and it's been great.

We should get a group and shoot a 3d shoot sometime. Me and a few buckets went to yazoo city and state games in meridian shoot. Good time.

Like they said, the most important thing is what feels good to you. I've held Hoyt's, PSE's, Bowtech's, and I always go back to a Mathews for it's feel in my hand. I would most definitely go to different bow shops and shoot different brands........you'll immediately know when you get the right one for your tastes.

Saw this one the other day and it sounded like a good deal on a Mathews Z7 Extreme.

I sell Elite and PSE, like others have said, shoot all you can and see what's comfortable for you. I personally hunt with a PSE Full Throttle, but the new Elite Synergy's are pretty dang sweet too, i've been tempted to switch ! Let me know if I can help you any.
