You are correct, they are all pretty good anymore and it really comes down to what feels right in your hands and what kind of service and customer support you can get.
I am a Mathews guy but have been looking at the new elites as an option for my next bow.

I have been preaching the gospel of the no-cam since I picked one up. Mathews bows are top notch and most importantly, made in America

Picked up the no-cam this last year and really like it. Its got a smooth draw and quite release. Not the fastest bow on the market.
I used to shoot the Martin Onza III. That is a fast shooting bow but its a heavier and has a louder release compared to the Mathews.

They're each their own manufacturer. The Xpedition bow I'll be buying will most likely be their Xcentric 7. It's very dead in the hand 340 ibo bow with 7" brace height that actually meets their advertised speeds. It's a shorter ATA bow than I'm use to (32.25") but their cam setup gives me string angles closer to Katera XL (35' ATA). The Prime bows have their own special dual track cams that are about the most forgiving I've ever shot.My money will be going to Xpedition this year, I also like the Primes though.who makes that?
Lots of nice bows out there but those are my favorite manufacturers rite now.

So I have not done any research on bows in the past couple years as my 2012 Alien X has been sufficient for me. Lately though I have been asked what bows I would recommend to people. Not really knowing the current market I threw out the old "I don't really think you could go wrong with Martin" line. So I would like to here from all the Archery guys, Strictly referring to hunting bows, What current Manufacturers are the best? Maybe give us your top 2 or 3 favorite bows and why you feel they are the best.
Maybes guy would let you know if you'd ever answer your phone.
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on January 21, 2016, 05:03:44 PM
Bows are like anything else, with new models coming out every year, some years are going to be better than others IMO. My first hunting bow was a Darton. Great Bow for what it was. It was in my budget. Not sure I even shot it prior to purchase, much less compared it to anything else. But I had several great seasons with that bow. My next was a mathews q2xl. I did compare several bows when upgrading this one, That bow literally shot itself. Quiet. Easy to shoot. And slow but deadly. I might still be shooting Mathews had I upgraded to a switchback or waited till the z series era. But I bought a slimline when they first came out a Drenaline and it ruined me. Shouldn't have bought it, didn't like how it shot, was concerned about the limb pockets and torque of the slimmer limbs. But after such good luck with the Q2 I figured I could get used to it. Negative. Sold it after one season. Shot all the bows I could that year ( 09 I think) and was left with the Bowtech ( can't remember if admiral or general ) and Hoyt Katera xl. I loved the way the bowtech shot but was skeptical of the pivot system in the riser and one shot with the katera and I was sold. It was like I had the Q2 back only faster and cooler!
You would think I would learn, but I sold the katera and bought a Maxxis 35. Although this one shoots great, the cam lean messes with my head. It shouldn't but it does. It shoot so lights out, and I cant part with it, but I shopped until I located another katera xl with 80 limbs and set it up as my primary. It flat shoots. Yes its heavy but I have confidence in it.
Of the new bows I have shot that are the new rage, I like the Elites alot and the Prime. Bowtech went through a few years where there dependability was so bad IMO it had no business in the hunting world where one shot might mean the whole season. But they have changed limb systems and are looking good now. I shot the BOSS last year and it was sweet! The new Hoyt defiant 34 is awesome! If I was forced to buy a bow brand new the Carbon Defiant 34 would be my choice. To be fair I Honestly felt after the Hoyt Alphamax that Hoyt went downhill a bit. Still a solid bow, but resting to much on their laurels. The last couple years they have had some significant improvement in designs and fit and finish
My point to all this rambling is if I had to pick the best Manufacturer I would say Hoyt. Based on the fact that they have a solid reputation and less dependability issues over a considerable period of time. My dealings with their service department has been great, but I hear differently from others. The upside is overall you wont need it much. So I would say their record and their latest products are testament to a quality company with a sound performance record.
After that would be Either Mathews or PSE. Both have a long history in the industry, and although they have had some rough patches IMO product wise they are solid companies. PSE has a great variety of bows as well, and some great shooters, although ugly as sin :chuckle:
Their was a period of time when you couldn't give me a Bowtech. I know, I won a raffle for one. But I have actually looked hard a them the past few years. As far as performance goes they are near or at the top.
But a manufacturer can go along ways with a great product and their have been a lot of those the past few years. So many manufacturers that have some truly awesome stuff. Elite, Prime, Darton, Bear to name a few. All of it benefits us as Archers.

Hoyt service is always suspect and the 2016 bows are a bit hard to get in special colors this year. But of all the bow manufactures I think Hoyt has done the most to improve their product since last year. Both the Defiant and Carbon Defiant lines are a monumental improvement over what they have offered the past ten years or so. If I felt like waiting 90 days for a black out or Harvest brown Defiant 34 I'd likely be shooting one this year!
Bear made some nice improvements and their service is first rate as always. The Escape and BR33 are headliners worthy of consideration. The grip is improved, the riser geometry is improved, the suppressor anchors are improved and the overall feel is much improved. Cosmetics are WAY better too!! I am really liking what I'm seeing from Bear this year. :tup: The crossbow line is crazy...in the best possible way!
Pretty much everything else I stopped to look at this year left me with the, "Yep, saw that last year" feeling. About the only other thing that left a lasting impression on me was the Sims target bow. Will be interesting to see how the production product works out for them.

I thought the Halon was the worst bow of the year! And I generally like the Monster style cam. I guess if everyone liked the same things there wouldn't be much need for a dozen bow manufactures.
Mathews service is usually rated one of the best in the industry. That's worth quite a bit!

Yeah because you have a 54" draw length. With that draw length you might even be able to kill an elk with a mathews. :chuckle:

I spent a bit of time at the local shop today. Seems the Yeh and Ney on the new Mathews is the same there. Owner absolutely loves it and the lead not so much. Guess it's going to be one of those love it or hate it items. Would be an interesting poll question.

That's pretty good! Wifler beating Rio again, regardless of bow, is impressive. Wifler may end up being to Rio what Eli Manning is to Tom Brady :chuckle:

A lot of good things from Martin in a VERY limited offering. But, in my personal opinion, the good things haven't yet been enough to put them in a "Best Manufacture" category! Might not be too long though. I like what they have been trying to accomplish. If they work on weight, fit, finish, grip and balance they should get there soon enough. Pretty confident they will get there.

Did you shoot the Halon-X at the show D-Rock? I was wondering what you thought of the weight. I like that length, brace and balance, but 4.94 lbs (without Harmonic Dampers) was it's doom as a western hunting bow for me. I struggled choosing the BR33 over the Decree HD because of it's 4.2#. Part of the reason I chose to keep the fun CarbonAir for some hunts.

6'1" 30.5" draw and have been shooting a pse for 9 years. (Same bow)

Looking for a fairly tall axle to axle and 6" brace height. Speed seems built in now days.
I'm just waiting something comfortable and fun to shoot.

I'm loving this thread. I'm thinking this is the year for a new bow.
6'1" 29.5" draw and have been shooting a pse for 9 years. (Same bow)

At that draw length I really encourage you to try some 7" brace bows as well as the PSE Decree HD.
Decree HD and the BR33 have a lot of the same features/characteristics. Both companies have first rate service. Both weigh about the same. PSE has the superior grip and cam. BR33 has a better balance, finish and cable guard. Both have proven track records of great limb durability. Both are very quiet. Both draw extremely smooth and shoot smoothly as well.
My own decision basically came down to company relationship, cable guard and least amount of interference with various shirts/jackets. It was so close that if my draw length had been 1" longer it may have made the difference that had me shooting the PSE. My hunting partner took three months to decide between the Bear and the PSE with his 28" draw length. He chose the PSE.

Like RadSav said, with that draw length you should look at 7" brace height bows. You'll get plenty of speed with your draw length from most of today's bows. If you're dead set on the brace height issue than I'd encourage you to look at a Prime Rival. 35" ATA 6.25" brace height and 340 IBO in about the most forgiving sub 7" brace height package you can get.
Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 29, 2016, 06:01:45 PM
I ended up with a hoyt defiant 34 blackout. I almost bought the turbo but the smooth draw on the standard sold me.
Here is the order that I ended up with for me.
hoyt defiant 34
hoyt defiant turbo
pse air
br33
prime rival
Rounding out the top 5
I shot about 8 other bows like the new Matthews and new elite and I sure was not impressed with those bows. It has been a long time since I have had my primary bow as a hoyt but love this defiant. I have probably 400 arrows down range and with the 7" brace smooth draw I am very happy and hope to let the air out of many critters in the next couple years with it.
I also got the chance to shoot the carbon defiant by freak chance. I thought I would love it. NOPE if you are holding out to buy the carbon save yourself 450.00 and buy the aluminum. The lighter carbon had way more shock and vibration.

Hoyt won the Vegas shoot this year. Just putting it out there.
I am curious whether this has any impact on any of you? I have never understood the apparent connection between someone wearing nikes, shooting matthews, etc... and winning an event. Are you going to tell me Michael Jordan wouldn't of won without his Air Jordans? Just honestly curious if a pro wearing Sitka or shooting Hoyt has any impact for others?
Post by: RadSav on February 05, 2016, 02:49:24 PM
Top target shooters almost always follow the money. And why not? Just as with any professional sport the longevity of an athlete is limited when compared to other careers. Grab the money where and while you can. You think Reo felt the Elite was superior bow to the Hoyt? That it would lead to more championships? I seriously doubt it! But hey, if they want to pay him more...good for Reo. He worked hard for it and deserves as much as they are willing to pay.
The recent Mathews push may have an even greater appeal toward those paying attention. This new bow is so close to the hunting model it's easy to make the connection. Mathews was smart to keep the names and cosmetics in such a way to confuse average archers. I know this recent success is driving a lot of sales at our local shop. Possibly one of the best moves Mathews has made in over ten years. :tup:

When it comes to what bow or manufacturer is best they are probably the least important part of the puzzle. There are so many important aspects to making the shot the bow has little influence on. Take a deep breath! Don’t do what I and so many others tend to do from time to time and get locked in to speed, logo, axle-to-axle, stealth or erroneous marketing hype. Comparing target shooters, scanning forums for a 12 year olds view of this thing-vs-that thing, redneck Bob's Youtube video about how speed kills, fancy graphics and big antlered deer in a Bowhunter magazine ad, and how good that sexy lady looks wearing camo while shooting that bow honestly means dang near nothing. Randy Ulmer and Reo Wilde are going to shoot better than you or I no matter who signs their checks. I will kill my next elk no matter whose sight is on my bow, what arrow is in my quiver and no matter what rest I've purchased or how much my arsenal cost. Outside of sharp broadheads it really doesn't add up to much of anything.
If most bowhunters spent as much time tuning themselves as they do their bow. If they spent as much time honestly evaluating their abilities as they do what brand bow is best. And if we all sharpened the predator within like we do our broadheads and knives...All of us would enjoy greater success. It is the tool holding the bow that is the most important one. :chuckle:

Post by: haus on March 13, 2016, 10:47:28 PM
That being said, when it comes down to individual bow models the opinions can vary widely, more than anything else it's generally due to draw length variance imho. It's just damn near impossible for a bow to feel the same for the shooter at the shortest draw length setting vs the shooter at the longest draw length setting. Every bow has a draw length sweet spot and the resulting feedback when the archer is outside of that sweet spot can vary wildly from model to model. Having a long draw myself, draw length variance is why when someone is providing review and opinion of draw cycle I take it with a grain of salt unless they're basically at the same draw I am. One must also consider whether the specific bow model in question is hitting AMO spec draw length or not, which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and for some within their own product lines.
With some bow models and cam designs just 1" difference can throw things off quite a bit. I'm assuming marketing gets with engineering and tells engineering to just add in that extra 1/2"-1" mod adjustment so they can expand their target market :dunno:

If that bow were compatible with my preferred quiver system...I'd likely be shooting it too. Congratulations on a great purchase :tup:That seems to be the biggest gripe about the Expeditions but my bows end up in a saddle scabbard and using a removable quiver so the arrows are on my back while I ride seems to work the best so far. I'd have liked a camo bow but the one I picked up is all black. The shop sold it new to the original owner in October but the guy's wife told him he had to many bows so I picked it up for $600.00. For a $500.00 discount I can live with all black. 8)

Xpeditions are awesome bows and great customer service also.. I have 2 Xcentric 7, one Xcentric and a Perfexion later this month.It has to do with using a 2 piece quiver, there are no holes drilled in the risers to mount them to. There's no problem though if you use something like a Tight Spot that mounts to your sight.

Sims DZ-32 was one of the best shooting bows I've ever shot. CL told me the other day he wants me to get another one because he hasn't shot as good as he did with that bow. If not for they way it carries it would go on a lot more hunts with me. The new Sims are very nice, I just haven't felt they were better than the DZ-32. Even though the cam and harness system is much nicer on the new Proton.The DZ-32 I won it off of Sim's Facebook page. I happened to be looking for a new bow at the time and won it. I really didn't expect to love it as much as I do. Cory was awesome and set it up exactly how I wanted it and told me to take it into my local shop for any fine tuning. I threw a Spot Hogg and Trophy Taker rest on it and so far it has been the best bow that I have ever owned and I have had 1/2 dozen bows over the past 35 years of archery hunting.

D-Rock what is your draw bud?27" draw. Talked with the guys expidtion at the ATA show last Jan told them make it for shorter draw shooters. 2 weeks ago I spent 10 minutes talking to a guy that said he was the president of expidtion archery at a local rmef banquet. Told him make a 27" model and I'll buy two. :chuckle:

Are you okay with anchoring behind your ear?

D-Rock was just born a couple decades too late and in the wrong state. He would be the perfect candidate for the California High Wrist! :o

Hmmm... High wrist and pinky out.... To bad Mathews doesn't make the Jewel with a pink riser anymore, it'd be perfect for his style. I'd even loan him my arrows if they weren't about a mile to long for him.Are you okay with anchoring behind your ear?

You don't need a new bow. You just need to eat more Lucky Charms.I only have one bow currently. I normally have a back up bow for my back up bow. Maybe I'll get a cool fathers day present.

Has anyone shot the carbon models? Is the front of the grip and the riser flush with each other?

I have been preaching the gospel of the no-cam since I picked one up. Mathews bows are top notch and most importantly, made in America

ill second that. I picked up a no cam htx this year draw weight at 70# maxed out draw to 29". speed is not everything. all the major manufactures seem to have that hold over everyone that it does. well.. give a no cam a shot. go fling a few. the recoil, the sound and general quality has and edge over most. its been a looked over bow simply because Mathews has promoted their halon dual cam mainly. one thing to keep in mind though the draw length is only 29". but the htr maxes out to 30". you might even be able to pick up a good deal on a htr new somewhere
