Need some new bow advice...

[Stump_MN_Hunter]

I am looking at getting a new bow and I am stongly considering a Hoyt Razortec. The bow I currently have is a PSE Viking....roughly shooting around 285 fps. It's a short axle to axle bow(not sure what the size is, but it's got to be around 31, 32 or so) and I'd want to stick with a shorter axle to axle bow for my next purchase. What I'm ultimately shooting for here is #1 being quiet....#2 being smooth....#3 being fast(around 290-300 or better fps). But speed isn't my #1 consideration. On this bow, I'm planning on putting on a Muzzy Zero Effect(pretty sure that's what you call it) or a Trophy Ridge Drop away rest and a Cobra sight. I'm currently shooting Beman ICS 400's with Rocket Sidewinder 100 grain broadheads. I'd like to use my current arrows with my new setup. I have around 30 arrows and would hate to have to switch to something else with the $$ I have invested. Maybe I gave some info that doesn't really need to be taken into account when purchasing a new bow, but heck...now you know more about what I shoot.

Sorry for being long winded, but here's the question.....What do you all think about the Razortec? Are there other bows you would suggest that fit into my top 3 requirements?

Thanks in advance.

Oops...that 2nd rest option would be Trophy Taker. Sorry.

There is nothing wrong with the razortec that I know of.

All I can suggest is you visit a lot of Pro Shops and look at all the different brands of bows that fit your specs and shoot them you might be surprised as to which bow fits you.

I had the Razortec last season and I definitely think that it fits into your criteria. However, I also suggest you consider the Vipertec as it has many of the same attributes as the Razortec with even less recoil...though it is a tad slower.

The Bowtech Justice may also fit nicely into your specs. The axle to axle length is there. It is quiet and accurate...plus that Freedom cam is exceptionally smooth to draw.

FRANK,
if you're not careful you might end up on the BOWTECH staff

Thanks for the info. I think I may be settled on getting this bow, but just wanted to hear from some folks that know a heck of a lot more on this stuff than me. I have to go out and shoot a few different ones to know for sure. THanks!!

I've shot but not owned a Razortec. I was very impressed with it. Quiet, smooth, decent speed. I think it will make a good choice.
