Bought a used Hoyt Magnatec cheap and shot it for a few years. Even though I could have afforded a newer bow, I was just getting into bowhunting after borrowing my brother-in-law's bow and wasn't sure how much bowhunting I would actually do. Liked it and still use it as my backup.

Now I bowhunt a lot. Last year I sprung for a new Xtec. So now I shoot the bow I want and love it.

I have an 04' Patriot. It is a great bow, and I don't see myself selling it anytime soon. I will probably keep it as my hunting bow, and buy myself an Old Glory for spots and 3D next year. If money was no issue, I would be shooting the Old Glory right now, but the Patriot is a pretty damn good bow, it's just not as forgiving as I would like for competition.

Definately shooting the bow I want. Don't believe I will change for some time.

A Parker, saved for a bit but i think if you can hold out and get what you want, it will pay off on the long run.

I shoot what fits me, so if the bow fits me, I am saving to get it!

I am lucky enough to shoot whatever I want...................as long as I carry it in my shop.......


I am lucky because I carry Bowtech and Mathews

I do kinda like the tech riser though[:-][:-]..............

I shoot a crappy old PSE Nova, it is slow and inconsistent, but I've killed 8 deer, 2 elk, and 1 antelope with it, as well as several nuissance critters...

I just bought my 12 year old a Hoyt RinTec today, and it makes MY bow look like a joke.

I want a new bow.

If money isn't that big of a deal, isn't Bowtech's Black Knight the baddest thing out there?
other than short brace height and persnickity timing, this thing looks impressive

Anyone own one?
(anyone wanna sell one? I'm RH @ 29" )

lol for all the posts i made on here prior to to buying my bow thpthpthpthp to all the i guess so called diehards and hard asses on here i utilized all that said go to the pro shop and i did i shot alot of bows in six hours i went in to bye a parker set up well i shot and shot and narrowed it down well i am happy with what i am shooting the wife even said I pulled it backthe smoothest so i set that one up mmmmmm am happy but i do know the next bow i wil own .

I shot a old browning first then I was given a Hoyt Cybertec that was an amazing bow and now I am shooting the bow I wanted a xtec great bow too!

This is a great topic!

I for one shoot what I feel fits me best. I don't care about the price or name. I am however fond of the older style Browning risers, they are big and sturdy and have a longer A to A than most, they fit me to a "T". I shoot a Boss Tracker, it's accurate, powerfull, quiet and reliable. I don't plan on changing....no reason to. So I guess you can say I shoot the bow I wanted.
