I basically boil it down to this: accuracy, weight, size, speed.
Shoot what ever you shoot the most accurately and comfortably. What good is 450 fps if you can't hit a paper plate?
Nice poll, I got a chuckle!

But have shot PSE, Bowtec, Alpine, Golden Eagle, Browning. I am on my third Martin simply because of the customer service I received about 20 years ago. In or around the late 80's, I had an accident involving a Honda 90 and a black bear that resulted in a broken thumb and a broken laminated riser on a Martin Warthog. I took the bow to Martin Archery in Walla Walla and while I waited they installed a new riser, cables and string at no charge. Back hunting the next day.

if you meant me, i wasn't trying to make myself feel better, i'm sure i'd shoot well with a mathews, i just don't know why i'd want to spend more money on a bow that doesn't shoot as nice as mine? :yike:
i can shoot great with my grandpas hoyt from 1992, which is fun to shoot to pass time, but i'd rather shoot my newer hoyt on a regular basis.
Not to tangent, but something that makes you realise how far the new bows have come, is if you have a chance get an early nineties bow and pretty much any newer bow and shoot them alternating between sets of shots and notice the differences, it really is crazy how far technology has come.
however i'm sure an early nineties Hoyt would shoot better than a new mathews lol just saying :chuckle:

Tried out the Mathews and liked the one with the shorter brace height... but the look and feel of the Element was hard to beat! Still debating whether or not I need a stabilizer on it.
I only have one issue with Hoyts and that's the short valley at the end of the draw....

Of course, there is so much hand shock with that bowtech you bought it'll just jump out of your hand if you don't hang on tight.
now that I have a sling attached to my bowtech I really like all that hand shock, I don't have to walk as far to retrieve arrows.

I've never been a fan of single cam bows, but this new Bear Assault just seems to hit everything I aim at. I punch the trigger, creep, shoot in a rush to kill the mosquito on my nose and still the arrows are in the spot. I'm starting to feel as though it is possessed by some target hungry freak. I think I'll keep it for a while.
Put a Loesch grip on an Invasion CPX and am liking it pretty good too. One heck of a backup to the Bear.
Sometimes I think these Hoyt guys feel so guilty for spending all that money on a heavy dog they have to talk it up to make themselves feel better :whoo:

Post by: RadSav on August 10, 2011, 10:37:17 PM
I like the way Hoyt claims to be the first with a carbon riser when High country had one in 08 called the 4 runner. I do not feel the need to run over my Bowtech with my truck but it has fallen out of the tree a couple of times, did a cart wheel down a hill the day before I killed an elk with it. As far as accuracy you have to trust me when I say I do just fine. :archery_smiley: :chuckle:
We archers have to be the most fikle bunch when it comes to their gear, have you ever seen this kind of thred with the modern or the front stuffers? :chuckle:
So far they are the first ones to make one that doesn't blow up. Diamond had one in the early eighties that blew up really good. Then PSE and High Country. All were pretty good at throwing shrapnel. So far the ones by Hoyt and Carbon Tech do seem to be of a different breed with the newer nano/epoxies of today.
I have seen more than one aluminum risered bow run over and still shoot well afterwards. A buddy of mine left his old Hoyt on top of the truck just before I did an Earnhardt pull out maneuver in front of a log truck. Don't even think the new Carbon Hoyt could have won that battle. Took about 10 ziplock bags to get that one home.
It's a good commercial that Hoyt has put together though. Reminds me of the old Muzzy cinterblock commercial that sold so many broadheads. Forget that I have never seen a deer hide behind a brick wall or walk around with a concrete vest on. Or the fact that the blades actually do the work not the tip. It sold a lot of heads for them and I'm sure Hoyt is doing quite well with the new carbon riser because of that commercial. Could do without all the frat party yelling in the back ground though.
Perhaps I should buy three Bear Assaults. Run over two of them with a big ass truck in the morning and still shoot an elk that evening with the third. I'd have done the same thing and still be money ahead! Plus, I would shoot arrows faster, would not have to worry about my cams going out of tune and I would not have to screw my accessories back on the bow after the stunt. Yeah! That would be AWESOME!!!
You Hoyt guys can have the video. I'll take my bargain bow, elk tenderloins and a whole wad of extra cash in my pocket. :P
This thread is fun! Who says archers can't get along?

I think you'll only need 2 bear assults. One to take a dump on and one to cover it up with. Then you can buy a hoyt. They pretty much shoot themselfs! :chuckle:
Your Hoyt sounds scary to shoot. Not sure I want a bow that shoots itself. I think propelling my arrows forward toward animal flesh is a better way to go.
As far as taking a dump on my Bear Assualt......"Crazy Larry" is a liar! It only happened that one time and honestly I was so drunk I don't remember doing it.

The folks at Bowtech take real good care of us personally and support our business with extreme generosity. Their new Invasion CPX really has to be shot to be fully appreciated. If you haven't shot a Bowtech in a couple of years you really haven't shot a Bowtech. The 2011 line is on a whole other plane of performance.
The amazing folks I deal with at Bear Archery/Trophy Ridge are new enough to archery they do not fully know who I am or what I have done. And yet they go so far out of their way to make sure the squaw and I are happy it is boarderline embarrassing. I stop in at the booth and the president comes out, puts a hand on my shoulder and says, "It sure is good seeing you again this year." Meanwhile guys are going off to get us new shirts, hats, arrow rests and what ever goodies they think should fit our needs in the northwest hunting woods. And I'm neither a current field tester nor pro staffer. Just your run of the mill manufacturer with a longer resume and trophy list than average. They truly give the royal treatment and their bows WAY out perform their value price.
I spent over a half years salary on my sheep/caribou trip to NWT a few weeks ago. And I never once thought of taking anything other than the Bear Assault. It's my best shooter and performed flawlessly.
The Mathews/McPherson company has always treated the squaw and I fairly and with respect. Nothing against them at all. I just do not enjoy shooting their bows :dunno:.

Then everyone tells that guy to go shoot 15 different kinds of bows and see what one he likes best. Whichever one he likes best is the one he should buy. So what if I don't like a Matthews?

I was just wondering who you were, thats all. I wasn't sure if I should know or not. I am not a long time archer, nor am I familiar with the business. I'm not even sure why all the Hoyt guys get picked on. MY Hoyt shoots pretty ok and I haven't compared it to enough other bows to know if it's even heavy or not.
I need a new peep...got a link?
Now I have to go google and figure out who Duke Savora is.
I wouldn't expect anyone who didn't read Western Bowhunter in the Eighties or early Nineties to know. Or that hunted bear heavily in Oregon throughout the 80s. It was all a long time ago and archery (especially bowhunting) is very much a "What have you done lately" thing. A lot of people have done a lot more impressive things than me lately. Many on this forum.
As far as "Duke" Savora? Duke was from the Seattle area and was the first to successfully use a razorblade in broadhead design. Easton said at one time that without the Savora one piece ferrule the aluminum arrow might never achieved popularity. Duke also was the inventor of the anodized camo aluminum arrow. This too led to the amazing rise in popularity of the Easton shafts.
When it came to hunting Duke was a leader in that field as well. When Alberta decided that archers could not effectively take animal such as sheep and made it illegal the NRA and Duke came to the rescue. His ram was not only the first ever killed by a non-native archer, but the speed in which it expired shocked all those that viewed the film and bowhunting was reinstated.
After finding out that Fred Bear and others had used the POD in Africa while bowhunting the government of Rhodesia listed bowhunting as "Poaching" which is a punishment of death. The "Chapinda Pools" testing was conducted with the Rhodesian government, government Ranger D. Van Eyssen and Duke Savora. Regardless of what the self promoting dentist says of late this was the first test of its kind in Africa. Blood trails were measured for length, animals were autopsied, and time on the hoof was taken. At the conclusion the government concluded, "Bow hunting will rekindle the true spirit of HUNTING in Africa which seems to have taken second place to 'Make the Book', 'Rowland Ward". etc. etc., bigger scopes and more powerful guns." Bowhunting was re-instituted as a legal means of hunting with no restrictions on species to be hunted.
Guess that is enough off topic conversation. Time to get more of those Cameron Hanes wannabes wanting to kick my .....! I'm really surprised they can actually take a joke. The ones around here would have my butt for sure!

For those of you looking to break away from the pack.... check out some of the upcoming innovative companies out there (Maitland)... or you can wait a few years and the big companies will copy them.... but by then Rob Maitland will have done more engineering to stay ahead of the others... :tup: Really just kidding so all you fanboys relax...

Very surprised you choose your Bear over the Invasion though. Not that Ive shot a Bear. I definitely want an Invasion but my Guardian is treating me wonderful.
Tell us more about your Peep please!

I cant hit anything, but im sticking with my Parker. No way would i shoot anything else :tup:
Sounds like my father when I told him I was going to start bowhunting. I remember him saying, "Why do you want to spend so much money on that bow when you're never going to kill anything with it?" He thought it was advise. I took it as motivation. Should have seen the look on his face when he saw my arrow go whizzing through my first elks chest. That was a Bear back then too!

All i know is that it is easier chasing down and looking for arrows then looking for gun powder and lead after a shot

i just want to re up the fact that when i posted this it is just supposed to be fun. i think i speak for all when i say everyone has there own personal preference on bows but this is just a fun way of giving each other crap when in the end it doesn't matter what brand you shoot as long as you like it and it gets the job done! even though we all know that Hoyt is the best!:tup: That's right bloodhound. I agree with everything except that you mispelled Mathews in that last sentence. I don't even know how you got spelling. If you're using a phone and it auto-filled you should just throw that thing away. Something is definitely wrong with it.
Hopefully, nobody is taking this too seriously.

Bloodhound they call you that cause you tracked an animal for two days in the Rain!? Were you shooting a HOYT! :chuckle: :chuckle:
That's what happens when your bow doesn't shoot hard enough. Just bounced one off the ribs, I guess. I'm surprised he could even hit it with that erratic POS.

PM for peep info - not the place here.
Had two Guardians I got rid of as soon as the Invasion came out. Beats the heck out of me why I shoot the Bear better. That Invasion is everything I am looking for in a bow, but the Assault just eats up the spot.

What model Mathews is that in your avitar? Or maybe that's what it takes to finally get what you shoot with a Mathews to hit the ground.

Bowtech is named that because you need to bring a bow tech with you whenever you go shooting...back in the 80s I would kill alot of sheet with my old bear bow ... and never shot at deer more than 35 yrds and If I was only in P.A now I would have many more whitetail on the wall because of the distances I can shot now ....I need to go dig out my old bear bow and show ya ...it killed a few in its day and I will never get rid of it !
Mathews... slowcam...
Hoyt... also marketed as a boat anchor :tung:
bear... cheap copies...
... see if I can rile anybody up. :chuckle:
They all make a good bow. I shoot pse because I like them best. And they seem to fit me real well.

That dude Bear gave me your number! But, why don't you post it on here so everyone has it! Just in case they shoot a poor baby deer with a Hoyt and need some help finding it.man your being mean tonight :chuckle: :chuckle: :tung: do i need to change my aviator to something big killed with a Mathews ? :chuckle: :chuckle: :dunno: I can :o

Sorry if I'm getting too mean. Marriage had that effect on me. Blame the Hoyt shooting squaw!!!
Post by: halflife65 on August 11, 2011, 10:20:54 PM
My buddy has been carrying a rifle and I take my bow. If we can't figure out how to get to it with the bow he's just going to shoot it. Works for me.

i guess theres nothing i cant find. animals! hookers! they all seem to want to be found by me. the only positive is the animals bring joy and feed people the hookers tell me they love me and do my best friends.If she doesn't look you in the eyes when she says it don't believe her :chuckle:

What happened to this thread? Everyone must be mad or just doing a little research on where my house is. Just to warn you Hoyt guys - I sleep with a light sleeping squaw and she's a pistol packing crazy woman!

Boy I sure hope she is nicer than you :chuckle: :chuckle: :yike:
Only if your not her husband ;) Took about 15 years of marraige before I slept with both eyes closed. We keep the S&W on my side of the bed at night - just in case I do something in my sleep she could take offense to! 50% Creek/50% Irish - scalp you first and then blow you up. Now I've scared myself - no longer worried about those Hoyt guys. Just PMS :o

Current = Jack Ass :yike:
2007-2010 = Bear shooting Arse Hole :tung:
1989-2006 = Hoyt Dork :o
1980-1988 = Slutty tramp chaser and bear killing machine :chuckle:
I think the S&W and all kitchen knives are going to spend the night in the safe with a new combo! :tup:
