Default Has anyone shot the Bowtech bows at Gander mountain?

Fellow at work was asking me about these bows but i haven't been to G.M. in years.The only thing i've heard about them has been on the internet, but it seems to me they got good reviews?Lets here some good or bad about 'em!His biggest concern was how forgiving are they?

I believe they are not bowtech made but Evotek made bows. New line from last years bows. I could be wrong but their TV sponsored shows show evotek all on them now.

If you are talking about their Guide Series bows then yes they are made by Bowtech for Gander Mountain. They make two, the TecHunter and the TecHunter Extreme (I think). I have the TecHunter and it closely resembles the Diamond Rapture but with different camo dip, riser and cam cutouts as well as a completely different (and I think better) grip.

Mine shoots great, it's quiet fast and light. They are priced right around $400.00, great bow for the money. I purchased mine used at a yard sale just this fall for $65.00 but after hunting with it, I would have paid the $400.00 no problem.

The Gander Mountain by me has Bowtech's Diamond line, and yes, Bowtech does make their Guide Series bows ....

When I first got mine I didn't know what it was or who made it.The previous owner cleaned off the limbs so there were no markings on it. All I had was a serial number machined into the riser. I actually posted pics of it here and this combined with me calling Bowtech with the serial number I was able to ID it.

I shot them a few months ago. I thought they were very nice. They have got some of the best grips you could find on any bow. The grip alone would sway me to buy one over the same model Diamond, at least the Diamonds with the rubber rectangle block thingy that they put on the riser.

Default RE: Has anyone shot the Bowtech bows at Gander mountain?

Ive recently shot both bows .
1st is a Bowtech Diamond Giude series TechHunter .
Nice and faily smooth shooting bow .
Not sure on exact forgivness ,I was only trying them out in comparison to other bows ( noise , vibes , pull, etc.) $449.99 for bow , sight, quiver, and rest .or $399.99 bow only.
2nd is a Techhunter Extreme .
I thought the hunter was a nice bow until I shot the Extreme .
Very fst , smooth and quiet .
I,m going to shoot a Diamond Liberty, then I,ll decide on witch I,ll buy.

As of now for $549.99 ( bow ,quiver,sight ands rest) or $499.99 bow only.
The Bowtech , Diamond Techhunter Extreme is looking good.[8D][8D]
