Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
I am wanting to buy a new 07 bow this here shortly...I have done a little research into them but wanted to see what all your opinions were. Hopefully hear some input from the guys who sell or shoot or even know someone who shoots any new bow...If you were going to be buying one, what would you buy? I pull 28in and 65-70 lb. I am wanting to keep the total set up under $1000. Alright guys...Lets here your suggestions or input! Thanks!

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
While it isn't impossible to set up a new bow from one of the Big Three (Bowtech, Hoyt, or Mathews) for under $1,000, I would suggest looking into one of the more moderately priced manufacturer's bows. That being said, here is a reply I made recently in a thread similar to this.
As you can see from all the names being thrown out at you, there are plenty of excellent mid-range pirced bows on the market currently. Bowtech has Diamond. Hoyt has Reflex. Mathews now has Mission. My suggestion, as it always is, is to visit your local pro shop and shoot as many models as you can in your price range. Trust me when I say that at least one bow you shoot will just feel... right. It'll grab you and you won't want to put it down to pull your wallet out. Shoot some of last years top shelf bows too. You'll find excellent deals on fully set up bows over on ArcheryTalk.com Among these I would strongly suggest Ross and Bowtech. But again, shoot as many as you can before making any deicsion. |

If you want to stay under $1000, you may want to look into my set up. For $950, I got:
Bow-Diamond Black Ice Sight- Cobra Sidewinder Rest- TR Dropzone Arrows- 1/2 dozen Gold Tip Pro Hunter Stabilizer- Doinker(not sure on exact model, but it works really well) Quiver- Kwikee 6 arrow, not the best, but good enough.:D I also added an STS but that was not included in the price, but it is worth getting. I love this bow and will have it for a while, definately worth looking into. Good luck in your search. |

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
I think it would be touch to set-upMathews, Hoyt or Bowtechfor under $1,000.
That being said, my pro-shop has the Elite Synergy for $650. You could probably do that and get it either right under the $1K or at it. I also like the Diamond bows. |
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
the ROSS CR33 models are 599 new, that leaves you some room...

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
ALL THE BOW ABOVE ARE GOOD EQUIPMENT, MY BEST ADVICE IS TO GO TO THE SHOP AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU HAVE TO SPENDAND SHOOT MULTIPLE BOWS AND GET WHAT FEELS THE BEST FOR YOU.

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
I shot the Black Ice today and loved it!!! Also, anyone heard anything about Elite bows?
|
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
Ihear people say that you can't set up a Mathews, Bowtech or Hoyt for under $1000.00 but it can be done. Maybe you don't get a Drenalin, Guardian or Vetrix but all three companies have less expensive bows. I'm a Mathews shooter and you can get a brand new Mathews Outback, which is a really good bow, for $599.00. Soif you want one of those three bows don't give up you can do it.

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
look ar parker there nice bows parkerbows.com

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
I think I paid about $650 for my bare Mathews Switchback XT last September. I think my setup was between $1000 and $1100, including everything but the broadheads, I already had those.
|
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
anyone know anything about Elite bows?
|
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
Martin Bengal or Pantera, black gold sight, trophy ridge drop zone rest, you can keep the total of those bows under $800 and I even kept mine under $700. I love my Bengal and i would defenitely shoot one before you buy one of the more expensive ones.

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
ORIGINAL: MossyOak722 anyone know anything about Elite bows? Elite has really stepped it up this year, I think they might have finally worked all the bugs out. They come with Vapor Trail strings which are supposed to be one of the best. I dont see anything wrong with elite now and they are definately speed demons. Everyone over on AT seems to praise them and everyone here puts em down so who knows! |
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
I think setting up a top shelf bow for under $1,000 can be done easily.
For example Most Bowtechs around here are $650-$700 Rest $75 Sight $80 Quiver $15 Peep $8 Stabilizer $20 That is under $850 for midrange accessories........he would even have $150 to apply in upgrades if he wanted an accessory that was more pricey. He sounds like this isn't his first bow so I am assuming he has a release, arrows, case, etc If he does not he will be right around a grand with my prices listed plus the other stuff he needs to start from scratch. It can be done easily. |
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
i do have a lot of those things already...i just hate being 20 year olda broke college kid...but then again i dont mind eating bread and waterif it gets me a new bow haha...I say under 1000 but then again I guess if im going to invest that much what isan extra 100 or 200 to just finish it off. if im goin to invest in that expensive of a bow id hate to throw cheap equipment on it u know....so i guess with money not and issue what do u guys see as the best short draw bow on the market for 07?

pse rogue, very nice bow with package and a half dozen arrows for $659

RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
Hoyt Vectrix or the Bowtech Guardian. Outfit either with the drop away rest of your choice and a black gold radiant sight.
|
RE: Bow Opinions...Please HELP!!
I will probably catch grief for this, but it is what I have done for three years. If you know your dimensions and you know what products you want, you can outfit yourself very affordably through ebay. I set up an 05 mighty mite and then an 06 Allegience with:
dead nuts pro 5 pin tranquilizer stabilzer braided sling scott lil goose release alpine soft loc quiver and now sts stabilizer All for less than 800.00 I also get all my arrows and broadheads, optics, cases, camo, stands and harnesses, boots and scent accessories from ebay too. |
