I'm torn! PSE EVO OR BOWTECH INVASION??
« on: February 26, 2011, 03:56:23 PM »
I'll be getting my tax return here soon and made a deal with the wife. I get to buy a new bow and she get a trip with the girls...I think I win TWICE with this deal, new bow and a weekend with out her.  :IBCOOL:
I'm torn between the Pse Xforce EVO and the Bowtech Invasion. Both are great bow, I JUST CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!!! :bash:
What are your opinions on these two bows?
Thanks Shane

Shoot both and decide.  I haven't shot the invasion, but I owned the CP bow.  I like the quietness for hunting.  I'm thinking about the invasion to add to the admiral for a little extra speed.

 :yeah:

Your the one that's gonna have to hunt with it.  Shoot both and decide.  Bows feel different to different people.  Yesterday my dad bought his first bow.  I set him up with 4 different bows and he shot for about an hour and bought the one he liked best.  Do the same.

Well I've been shooting more bows than just the EVO and the Invasion. I shot the top three bows of PSE and Bowtech. Here is my take on the bows.
PSE
OMEN: A good draw with medium/large hump and a very shallow valley. Very little to no hand shock, dead in hand, quiet. A very ratticle cam, demands good form, no play, and blazing fast...
EVO: The EVO has a great smooth draw, mild/medium hump with a nice valley and solid back wall. Vertuily no hand shock at all, very dead in hand and quiet. Great speed All good things about the EVO.
AXE 6: The same draw cycle as the EVO but with a little vibration at shot. Once I put a sabilizer on it the hand shock was gone. Great speed.

BOWTECH
INVASION: Probably the best drawing bow I've ever shot. A smooth draw with mild/medium hump straight to a solid back wall (it almost locks in there). It does have some hand shock but like the Axe went away after installing sabilizer. Dead in hand, quiet and fast.
DESTROYER 350: A stiffer draw than the rest with medium/large hump but good valley and back wall. Also has some hand shock at shot. Quiet and fast.
SPECIALIST: A very smooth drawing bow with low/mild hump with good back wall. It had the most hand shock of all the bows but still a nice bow.

Over all pick has to go to the EVO. Everything about it screams proformance and comfort.

I want to shoot the Invasion bad!  I loved my Guardian and now love my Destroyer 340.  The Invasion seems like a perfect marriage of both bows!

The good folks at bowtech told me the Invasion is the product of an Admiral and a Destroyers 340 getting it on and having a baby together. The nicest bow I've ever shot and I'm a hoyt Guy.. But that being said the price of it wouldn't be worth dumping the Destroyer. The difference isn't very noticeable if at all.

I am torn also... I shot the Invasion and the Evo on Saturday. Invasion was at 60# Evo was @ 67#. Invasion had a little rattle but nothing a stabilizer couldn't fix. Its a little lighter and shorter overall. The Evo was super fast and dead in hand. Real solid bow. I think I may lean towards the Evo because of the availability. I guess its a little less $ also. ??? I guess I will need to shoot them both again to figure it out. If I had to buy one tomorrow.... EVO
