went in and picked up my destroyer on thursday from XXX. If your going to buy a bow go there. I went to three other shops looking at bows and at XXX I had had to best service than all the others. Other shops you had to wait to get help or the workers do not know what they were selling. Now I wish I would have upgraded a long time ago. The 80% let is amazing. If you shoot a 65% you need to change. After shooting 100 arrows you can
tell. With a 423grain arrow and 30in draw and 73pd pull it shoots 316fps and 390 gr 325fps. Thanks XXX for all the help.
Thank You...take Pics this year hunting...

Bring a pen and paper. Shoot each bow with your eyes closed multiple times and record how the bow feels.
The level of hand torque, noise level, smoothness of draw and release and let down. Amount of shock etc. Anything that you feel is important. How it feels when you hold it etc.
Then compare your notes and they should tell you. Maybe do this twice and create a scale from 1-5 and rate each of those categories.

How's that destroyer holding up for you? You should post a couple pics. I probably would of bought a Z7, but that's just me. I don't like to have any problems, especially equipment failure. ;)Dude what are you saying bowtech is *censored*ty? :dunno: The bow is in the eye of the beholder, Right? What feels good to the shooter is all that matters. :rolleyes:

Look on archery talk and punch in destroyer i heard they are having problems with the cable guards snapping off that's why i am getting the z-7I see one thread a mile long about one incidence of a cable guard breaking after he derailed his strings from maybe shooting an arrow with a bad nok
or under spine arrow or from drawing it with his fingers.
And another thread "for the great customer service and Bowtech for taking care of this in a timely matter on the same bow with the broken cable guard"

The bow blew apart the string in three pieces not to mention what happened to the limbs. im laughing because he forgot to mention it. i still dont think he has it fixed yet. :chuckle: :chuckle:thats not to say i wouldnt shoot a bowtech but just some good rivalry in hunting camp this year.

Is that a pretty common problem? The strings breaking after a couple days of shootin'. :dunno:
no but you just dont know what goes on after the bow goes home :dunno:
I had 2 new bows sold this week come back yesterday....Dry Fired....by friends and family.
I have seen Peeps with a bur in them and it will cut the string...fast...I know of 2 other Destroyers that
had a Dry Fire and they bolth had the string brake....bowtech is running 20 strand strings on the destroyers
just like Mathews.

I did not mention that my string broke because it was not Bowtech or XXX fault that I had a bad peep or my arrow knock was bad. My limbs are fine it just broke my string. It could have happened with any bow company. It took a 11 days to get my bow back had to wait for XXX to get a string from bowtech. But I have my bow back now. Thanks XXX for taking care of it. :)

I just want to clarify that I was in no way saying anything bad about xxx, I have not heard anything but excellent reviews about the shop. I am on the other hand a fan of Mathews and know personally 6-8 bowtech fans who have had a lot of problems with their bows in the last 2-3 years, now I know that Nowtech makes a great bow, but I still feel that Mathews makes a better product. That is just my opinion, but I know a lot of guys with Mathews, even more than I do Bowtechs, and have yet to see a problem. In my original post I was making an inside joke to septemberhunt, who I hunt with every year and is a very good friend of mine, those who took it the wrong way, I'm sorry. And again Cory, I've heard nothing but good things about you and your shop, I didn't mean any disrespect to either. ;)
I know...its fun to do the Mathews VS Bowtech or Hoyt thing ....Thanks for the nice words about the shop...That new Waffle Bow does shoot good...plus after that BOWTECH kills a big elk you can use it to cook him breakfast in the morning...lol :P :chuckle:

Hopefully this one can dodge limbs! Than the big bulls won't be so fortunate. :chuckle:
Ya that sucks hiking back up a cliff after missing a big bull :bash: Hopefully I will get some better luck this year. Now that we are even with bow elk kills we will both shoot are elk each year :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

last year i was shooting a really old pse mohave and it did me just fine
in fact it did me better than fine it got me my first elk which was a 5x5
so happy after six years trying
anyways my brand of choice is dimond from bowtech and am now shooting the dimond iceman
average groups at 4 inches at fourty yards
i'd say not bad
do a lot of shooting and check to make sure everything is in line and everything will do just fine for you
good luck and good hunting
