Looking for a new Bow
 

I was just wondering what some of you guys suggest. Bowhunting will probably be the season that I focus on most this year and am going to geta new bow. I would like a fast shooting bow, draw weight of around 70 pounds and a draw length of 31 inches. I am not worried about prices right now, should havea pretty good budget with this new job, but nothing too insane.

Hey Buck

Well I would look at the PSE FIRESTORM I have been thinking about getting one of those for myself
I think there about 30 to 31 in. long & they have an adjustble draw length & you should be able to set it up any way that will be right for you. They run about 3 to 4 hundred standard.

I have a PSE Nova right now, I was thinking something a little higher up on the price range. My friend just bought a new Hoyt..vtech or xtech..not too sure which it was. But I really like how short the bow is. I was thinking something with parallel limbs, I was looking at the reviews on the front page and they had the bow on there with the beyond parallel limbs which got me thinking about a bow again.

After reading a little on the firestorm that sounds likea pretty nice bow. I would like something with parrallel limbs. they shoot a little bit faster correct?

I would definately look at the Mathews Switchback LD (long draw). Fast, Smooth, Quiet, and reliable!

I just bought a Hoyt Ultra Tech and love it. Expensive and cutting edge technology. Parallel limbs do not give you automatic hyper speeds but they do give you a no hand shock bow. There are a bizillion bows out there. Try them all and buy the bow that feels the best. I did and do not regret my purchase. One of the fastest bows the Hoyt Turbo Tech @ 330 ftp, smoking hot I would say. I did not buy a parallel limbed bow because I didn't like the feel of the draw force curve but lots of guys do. I also do not like the appearance but lots of guys do. Again pick them up and shoot them. Most feel pretty different. The right bow for you hopefully will feel like a good idea, mine did! You'll know which one it is when you hold it and or shoot it.
Good luck in your quest. You'll enjoy your the search.

My brother is shooting a liberty and loves it.... I have a PSE Bruin and love it, and I really like the new PSE too...

go to the pro shop and shoot everything they have and pic the one you like the best.

the one i like the best was the Bowtech Tribute. Fast, smooth, quiet, and ZERO hand shock. I shot the mathews switchback XT and it didn't feel right in my hand. Same with the hoyts and new pse/ar's.

good luck!!!! it's tought to make a bad decision these days!

RE: Looking for a new Bow
 

When looking for myself I was set on the Switchback after shooting Hoyt for roughly 10 years I shot the Switchback up against the Allegiance, Tribute and Hoyt Trykon.

I bought the Allegiance. It was the top choice in my opinion although I did purchase the Trykon and then two days later, put it back on the shelf and bought the Allegiance.

And the Tyrkon.

My hunting friend was playing with the Switchback and I told him he better shoot them all first and so he came up and shot the Tribute, Allegiance and the Trykon and he ended up with the Trykon.

Just goes to show if you don't shoot them all you might not have the best bow for you....just because I shoot one particular bow, doesn't mean it's right for you and just because it's right for someone else doesn't mean it's right for me or for you....

Shoot them all....and go with what is right. Good Luck.

If you're right handed you should talk to Rickmur. He thought he was going to switch to a shooting right handed because his right eye is dominant. Then he decided not to. Problem is he bought a top of the line Darton fully rigged out, sites,Muzzy zero etc It probably hasn't had 200 arrows out of it. It's a thousand dollar bow I know he'll sell for a ton less. The draw length is adjustable. He has it set on 29 I believe. It has a couple inches either way and you can also replace the cams.If I didn't already have a great shooting bow I'd be buying it. Best deal in town with a great bow to boot. You can't go wrong. It's brand new but you aren't going to have to pay half the value.
