new bows

[vwhunter]

lookin to get a new 2013 bow but im having a hard time deciding on whats the best bow to get i currently shoot a maxxis 31 and love it but i wanna up my speed and get something a lil faster been looking at new hoyts bowtech and pse any suggestions

[Mudman]

Keep the maxxis31/  Speed isnt that important.  Focus on improving your arrow tech.

Maxis is a good shooting bow.  You could step up to a spyder Turbo ATA speed of 340.

How much more speed are you looking to get? I agree with D-Rock the spyder turbo might be a good option. I looked hard at the Vector Turbo for fun last year but couldnt get one to tune for me ( setup 2 ).... felt great, but I couldnt give up my maxxis for it. ( dunno I could give it up for any bow  ) Not sure if it was the bows themselves or the 6 in brace height was affecting me. Either way i decided against it.

for me if I was looking for straight speed I would look at Bowtech.

I love my maxis 31. It has taken second shelf to my new carbon matrix. I like the longer ata. I agree with mudman. Speed is overrated. How much more than 310 fps do you need?

It will be hard for me to replace my Alpha Max 32. That being said as soon as someone developed a bow that weighs less than 4.0 lbs, has a 7" brace height shoots 340fps or faster and is as smooth and quiet as my AM32 then I'll buy it.  Bowtech had one last year (the Invasion CPX) but they discontinued it. Wonder if they had limb issues again  

Question how does a 6" BH feel? Are they pretty forgiving now adays or should I stick to a 7" BH.

When did bowtech NOT have limb issues?   

[D-Rock425]

I had tunning issues with my vector Turbo also made a few phone calls to hoyt and got walked through the issue.

[buckfvr]

Ive had bows from 5 1/2in bh to 7 1/2.........I personally shoot much better with a longer bh.  I have watched many shooters go from above average to below average shots as they sought more speed.

SLower longer bh bow , I am ultimately more consistent when taking shots from awkward positions.

Good info thanks. I have only had a 7" BH and I know my AM32 is very forgiving. Ive heard that a 6" is less forgiving but I don't know how much less forgiving since I've never shot a 6" BH other than a few times in a bow shop.

If you have a long draw then i'd stick to a 7 inch brace hieght just more forgiving and in a hunting situation it may pay off .
