ross bows?
 

what do you think of them? i'm thinking of buying one, but not sure if it's worth the money. how come you never see them in advertisements or hear much about them. would you consider them right up with matthews and hoyt?

RE: ross bows?
 

They are great bows and are starting to get popular. I know a couple of guys that shoot Ross and love them.

Ross only advertises in a couple of magazines to save money to pass on to the customer. I just got a CR331 and it is an awsome bow. Ross bows are everything that Mathews wants their bows to be at a much more reasonable price. My CR331 is rated at 305 IBO, mine is 29" 68lbs and shooting a 358 grain arrow it shoots 290. So at IBO settings Im sure it would shoot at least 305 and be smooth, quiet and vibration free doing it.

They're great bows, no question.

Friday night I had a date, but before meeting up with her I had a little time to kill so I stopped by Sportsman's to shoot the bull with the archery techs.

I walk back and he hands me a CR337 to play around with. First impression was it was heeeeaaaavy. Not the kind of bow I'd want to carry around for long periods of time. It was a bare bow too, no accessories. The machining was awesome, Ross' line of bows are real works of art.

I didn't have time to set it up and shoot it, but the draw cycle was really smooth. About like my Allegiance with smooth mods. The wall was very solid and it didn't feel like it wanted jump forward if I creeped a little.

They make an excellent product and had they had the Cardiacs in our shop when I bought my Allegiance, chances are I might be hunting with a Ross instead of a Bowtech this year.

RE: ross bows?
 

Heavy???? The 337 weighs in at 4.4 pounds....I can't get Bowtech's website to load, so I don't know how much the Ally weighs, but I bet it's pretty close.....What does the Ally weigh??

RE: ross bows?
 

3.8 lbs.

I'm just telling you what I thought. The thing felt heavy to me.

RE: ross bows?
 

Id been shooting an 05 allegiance beforeI bought my Ross, the 05's were pretty heavy, but the Ross CR331 and CR334 arent heavy at all and perfectly balanced. I like my bows to fall forward after the shot, and a 4 inch fuse axium is more than enough weight to do that nicely on mine. There new flatline suppresion systems are awsome to.

RE: ross bows?
 

Gonna shoot the cardiac this weekend..........I will post a review afterwards.

RE: ross bows?
 

Well, I guess the Ally is a bit lighter, but it's also shorter ATA, yes??

RE: ross bows?
 

A bit.

Don't get me wrong. I love Ross' bows. I would just pick a lighter model than the CR337.

RE: ross bows?
 

i'm looking at a cr331. How light is that? Also, how come ross doesn't have dampers on the strings or the little pulley on the bar like mathews has, to make it quieter? are they still quiet?

RE: ross bows?
 

My local shops main sales are in Hoyt and Ross. The owner went to the trade show in Atlanta recently and I overheard him saying that"the only problem Ross is having is with production". Finding someone who can keep up with the demand. Lots of dealers are still waiting on their orders to be filled. The bows are supposed to be great.

Check out the Cardiac, it comes standard with a STS style string suppressor

RE: ross bows?
 

I had a Ross CR334. I thought it was one of the best crafted bows I had ever laid eyes on. Their attention to detail is second to none. The draw was smooth and it shot very well for me.

Unfortunately, it was sacrificed for a 1974 Colt AR-15SP1......but I will always have the memories.

As it is I have enough bows so I didn't replace it....yet. If I chose to purchase another bow, Ross will be first on my list.

RE: ross bows?
 

Ross come with factory installed limbsavers and im pretty sure leaches but dont quote me on it. The Cardiacs arent selling for too much more than the CR models. I think the CR's are around 599 and the Cardiac ive heard is around 650, so if i were you id go the extra bit and get the cardiac.

RE: ross bows?
 

3.8 lbs. They do come standard with string leeches and limbsavers, and yes, they are absolutely....silent. ZERO hand shock

RE: ross bows?
 

They actualy have their flatline suppresions system instead of limb savers and leaches. Personaly I think it works better. My CR331 is wisper quiet.
