Soo this weekend i decided to start my hunt for a new bow! Now im a broke college student, so this is probably the last new bow i get for a while [:@]so I wanted to make sure it counts! So heres the bows i shot and my meaningless impressions of them .

Bowtechs: The Admiral was a nice bow, as most bowtechs it had great fit and finish and was a sharp looking piece of equipment! The draw wasnt so hot though, just my preference, however that thing shot smooth as silk! Next I shot the captain, its a little big for my taste but I really liked it! I felt the draw was nicer than the admirals and the release was just as good if not better! Plus I happen to think its the best looking bow out there!!

Diamonds: The iceman was a prettty nice bow as well, shot nice, draw was okay, just overall not my ideal bow. The diamond i was most impressed with was the black ice! I loved the draw on that bow and it was pretty darn smooth! Maybe not quite as impressive at the shot as the admiral, but it just felt great in my hands overall! I also shot the stud, a pretty nice bow for the price, I'd say it was similar to the black ice, just imo not quite the same fit and smoothness!!

Ross: I was pumped to shoot the carnivore after all the great things i'd heard, but after shooting it I really wasnt all that impressed! If was a nice bow for sure, but in all honestly I felt the cardiac was smoother!! Dont get me wrong this ross's were GREAT bows! Especially for the price! I did like the cardiac a lot, but to me the carnivore was a disappointment! I know im probably the only person you'll hear say this, but what do i know, im just a broke 20 yr old

Mathews: Now ive never shot a mathews before this weekend so this was new to me! First I started with the hyperlite. Talk about a SMALL BOW! It felt like a toy in my hands! Those limbs couldnt be much more than in inchwide! But to my surprised she seemed to be a pretty nice shooting bow! Nothing special but for someone looking for the smallest bow possible this is worth shooting!! Next i shot the Reezen 6.5. Overall I liked it! The draw was aggressive, but very manageable and you could tell that thing was fast! The shorter brace height didnt bother me and i didnt really notice and difference between that and the reezen 7.0. Now here are my two complaints: First off I hated the mathews grips! just preference of course but i felt like a was shooting a 2x4! And secondly I felt the Reezen was top heavy and almost wanted to lean forward...I wasnt used to it but i could see that maybe helping stability? Either way its not my cup of tea! Lastly I shot the MONSTER! I now know why its called the monster too! The draw on that thing is beyond aggressive!! I usually shoot 71 or 72, and i shot the monster at 70 and whew was that a doozy!!! However the shot itself was as smooth and steady as ive ever felt!!! Again I hated the grip and it had a very similar feeling to the reezen, but it was definately a shooter!! and FAST!!!

Hoyts: Now ima bowtech guy...or so i thought! I do have an older hoyt magnatech, not a hugefan but it is what it is! The only hoyt Ive shot this year was the AM32. I am no longer a "bowtech guy". Of course its all about opinions and preference, but im my eyes that bow was perfect. It simply had the best draw ive ever felt! In fact i'd say I could probably draw that bow without really stressing myself at 80#s! There was really nothing about this bow that did not impress me! I couldnt put the thing down!! So as of right now this is atop my list!!

Overall my top 3 were:
1. AM32 (ahead by a long shot)
2. Black Ice
3. Reezen 6.5 (captain is a very close 4th, but a tad bit too big!)

However im waiting for the air raid and the alien x before I make up my mind So that wraps up my live story haha
