Scheels Recluse Bow Made by Bowtech??

[onehornjimmy]

Does anybody have any experience or hear anything about the Sheels Recluse bow made by Bowtech?? This bow is on sale at Scheels for around $380 down from $499...and it seems like a pretty good deal. It is about 32" ATA, 7-8" brace height, weighs 3.7 lbs and has IBO speed of 315 fps and it is in natural gear camo. It shot like a dream. Looks like the Diamond Rapture except its faster and has a couple custom features.
The search forum shows no results on this bow...although the search feature seems not work at all for me.

I'm in the market for a new bow...my Mathews FX is around 8 years old and its time for a new one. I'm not one for a certain brand name...just like something that fits ME. Also considering Martin Bengal, Gander Mtn Tec, PSE Brute among a few others. Any info on the Recluse, any of thow bows above, or anything else in $400-500 range is appreciated. Thanks for the help.

I dont have any experience with that particular bow, but I shot Scheels' bow (was a diamond bow) from last year before I bought my hoyt and it was nice. I worked for Scheels at the timesomy costto get thehoyt was dirt cheap so I got it. One plus of the Scheels bow is the store will back it 100%, so thats piece of mind, no sending it in to get it fixed if something happens, they'll probably give you a new one if they cant fix it on the spot. Bottom line is they are nice bows for the money, with a great warranty.

Thanks Mike. Good to know Scheels stands behind their products. The other bow they have under the Scheels brand looks solid as well, I beleive it is made by Fred Bear.
I'm still very suprised at the lack of information out there on the Bowtech/Diamond bow under the Sheels Recluse name, considering the Bowtech/Diamond bow under the Gander TecHunter name has garnered lots of attention. May have to due with number of stores I guess...
