I think I had some creep with the new 2013 $1000 matthews bow creed, at least I think it was the matthews. kept wanting to go off the wall and if I didn't really concentrate on slamming it all the way back hard on the wall and keeping it there, it would lurch forward. Pretty sure I would take a $500 hoyt charger over the Matthews.....
hoyt charger - really all the bow any hunter needs, shot good and was smooth. I wouldn't frown upon this bow for someone looking for one in that 500-600 ish bracket. I'd go with the bare bow though, I didn't care for the package stuff. Dress it up with some bling and it'd make a dang fine bow. My next bow will have roller guides though. Just something I told myself I wanted.
I too enjoyed the bowtech experience, but my time was limited and the bow wasn't fully set up. Just a WB and no sights, the target was 3 feet in front of the arrow. You could tell you were shooting a fast bow, but it was well mannered. I'd love to have more time with it, I think this bow requires some grow into time.
I enjoyed the carbon element the most though, that bow was just dead when you shot it, also smooth and quiet. It's deceptive how fast it sends an arrow downrange. I think that bow can make a bad shooter into a decent shooter. It wouldn't require much of any grow into time, set it up and shoot and it'll do the same thing over and over and over and you couldn't get enough of it. Pretty sure if I had this bow, I would shoot it much more than any other bow I might buy - for one it costs like hell, but 2 its just so refined and fun there is no work involved
goofy review huh
I wasn't too pleased with the way the archery shop was letting me test their bows so I walked, but at the same time I understand it takes more time to fully set up a bow for a tire kicker. Still, there were 3 dudes in the shop and no customers other than me. Maybe this is pretty standard archery shop routine for tire kickers?
Was in Spokane.
