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

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

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 .
Is a 26.5-27" draw length considered long :chuckle:

LOVE my Bowtech! :tup: :twocents:
Ditto and I'm on my 3rd with never any limb (or any other) problems
That said, I don't bad mouth other brands. Many, many quality bows out there these days
Post by: Mudman on February 09, 2013, 12:04:21 AM
Yup, sorry. I threw mine away after the third set of limbs and it never did paper tune and warranty told me I had to use a whisker bisquit because that is what its designed for. No credit no replacement just a polite go to H--!!! Sorry I will bad mouth that and I do have proof. Google Tomkats and you will learn what I speak of.LOVE my Bowtech! :tup: :twocents:

When did bowtech NOT have limb issues?
About every day since Savage took them over. Best thing they ever did was decide saving a buck on limbs was not worth it. Bowtech put a lot of money and effort into the design of the new laminated limbs. Even their machined limbs are a different animal than they used to be.
Invasion was replaced by the new Experience. It's a little heavier and a few fps slower than the Invasion, but engineered with more proven riser geometry. Feels better at the shot too. Much better than changing the name and the paint job, adding a few more holes and calling it a new bow like so many others have done.
Bowtech still does have some of the old customer-no-service people left over. And that's a shame. But if you are judging Bowtech by the days of the Tomkat (2006) you might as well complain about Hyundai because you get a lemon Isuzu. It would make about as much sense. It's just not the same bow or company these days.

My current bow meets all of this criteria but shoots only 321fps and since I have midget arms that equates to a truest velocity of 265fps with a 424grain arrow. No complaints though. I love my Alpha Max 32

The greatest season of my life was when I shot a Golden Eagle at 205 fps. If you have a rangefinder speed matters very little. Confidence in your equipment means far more!
I was disappointed to see the new Experience increase weight over the Invasion. Though I felt the improvement in balance made it a wash. My arm seems to like it better even though it's a good four ounces heavier.

I know you are probably right. Im just sore about it. 500$ is lot of money and warranty manager made it personal with his rudeness. I know they make some good bows today. I just wont support them again regardless. I hope they have better service now.When did bowtech NOT have limb issues?

Yeah I agree. I love my Alpha Max way to much to give it up. Plus I figured out a way to bump up my speed by about 12-15fps, and I'm not talking about using a lighter arrow.

I understand! The same reason I only dated one redhead. Just can't trust them. :chuckle:
Makes no sense, but I felt better avoiding them anyhow.

Please explain! I could always use some extra fps with my set up.

Your 323 hoyt is as fast or faster than most 332 rated bows on the market. I would save the $800 and get the best acc. on the market. You will end up spending less and will have an awesome hunting setup. :twocents:
