You'll need a bunch of cash to equal his $800 asking price. That's my .02
Nice bow. Short brace height is what I think people don't like about those bows. Not very forgiving.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I buy lots of bows online. For that same $425 you can get a newer bow online at www.archerytalk.com in the classifieds.

Just sayin.

Very true..... Archery technology improves every year so even a bow that is a couple years old is almost obsolete.

Yeah but at Archery Talk you get easily get screwed and be out of your money with nothing to show for it.  Buying a bow in person is far safer.  I have bought a few bows on Craigslist and Ebay...if you are really interested then go for it.  I will probably be selling my 2011 Destroyer 350 on Craiglist after the late hunt is over so that I can buy a new bow.  I would shoot my D350 next to any of those haters that chimed in about Bowtech.  They are probably Matthews shooters that just buy what tthe hunting shows tell them to.  Shoot some bows and see what you like.  The Bowtech Assassin isn't too much more than that and comes fully equipped shotting 340 fps....with a 7 inch brace!  I have shot a lot of bows in the last few years and found Hoyt and Bowtech to be a step above the rest lately, but to each his own.

Ever since bowtech screwed me over I have nothing good to say about them. They dont honor their product/warranty.  I used to own a Tomcat, now its a Pepsi can or something.
MAGA!  Again..

Let me guess, they said you dry fired it?  Their bows are awesome.... but the customer service reviews seem to have a common theme.  I have heard it depends a little bit on your dealer tho.

Nope the Tomkat was manufactured wrong.  The valley was so far off sights would fall off and rest needed spacer.  Limbs cracked twice and they replaced that.  The bow would never paper tune and only shoot decent with whisker biscuit rest.  Two bowshops tried every combo and spoke with bowtech and shipped it back to them.  Bowtech said it must use whisker biscuit for a rest and everything was in specs.  They finally told me I was A jerk for calling them and speaking to Scott the warranty manager because I lied and said I was a dealer.  He told me to Stick it.  I did this at the end of a two year battle.  I know of two bow shops who quit dealing bowtech due to service warranty problems like mine.  Savage will ruin this company.  I never dry fired and my arrows weigh 430grain at 69lbs.  So you tell me whats up?  I asked for a fix or replacement or even a prorated credit towards another bowtech and the dealer was told no, no, and no.  Everyone who worked on bow said ya its never going to shoot right.  Over 40yards was very inconsistant. Im not trying to trash talk but 500$ is alot of money to waste.  I will never speak good of them again.
MAGA!  Again..
