The average hunter probably will never notice the differance (accuracy wise) between a $300 kit and a $600 bare bow. With having said that there are definite differances and advantages in some of the more expensive bows if you are able to make good on them.

The Hoyt TEC risers are suppose to lessen any vibrations felt in the hand. Some have pivoting limb pockets which provide a better seat for the limbs to sit against. Some have paralell limbs that reduce felt vibration and shock. Some are machined risers while still some are cast. Some have the latest cam design. Some are machined to be extremely light while still offering good strength. Some come with good built in vibration dampening devices.

So, you see, all of this research and developement comes at a cost. Most likely a $300 kit bow will not have many of the latest innovations that most of the more expensive bows do.

This is not to say, in any way, that a $300 kit bow is not every bit a capeable "game getter" as any of the more expensive bows. They just don't come with all of the bells and whistles.



Think about buying a new Ford f-150 that has a V-6, straight bench seat, 5-speed transmission, AM-FM radio, and AC, 15" wheels and tires.

Now think about a Ford F-250 with a 500 hp V-8 diesel, leather bucket seats, automatic transmission, AM-FM, cassette, CD, 6 disk changer, AC, GPS navigation system, push button 4 wheel drive, 18" wheels and tires, towing package, powered and heated seats, total underbody coating, spray in bed liner, chrome bumpers and trim.

They both will get you there but the latter does it with more convenience, style and comfort.
