Who wins bow of the year?
 

I know this is kind of early and some of the bows havent hit the market hard yet, but what do you guys/gals feel will take the bow of the year as of right now? I believe the Trykon won last year, will Hoyt repeat again?

Yup!:D

IDK, I'm thinking the Guardian, just because of the new design.

I would also say the Guardian, just judging by what i have heard from everyone out there. Seems like there are a lot of people going that route

Who decides the bow of the year? This year who knows. They are all good. Vectrix, drenalin, guardian, tribute, cardiac, synergy list could go on and on.

Having shot just about everything that has come out, I am giving it to the 2007 Allegence. The Guardian just didn't do much for me. The Vectrix needs slim fast, and the Dren was a close second, but like most Mathew's bows, its a WHOLE lot slower than its contemporaries. And to tell the consumers its IBO speed is 320...haha...right. I shot a perfect IBO arrow off a Dren three days ago and it leveled out at 301. Considering that my 60# LX will shoot 300 flat with a 302gr arrow at 29", and I bought it for $195, I can't really say it does a lot for me. Yes its light and yes its smooth, but, so is the 07 Allegence, and, its super quick to boot.

The 07 Allegence I shot last week went 305 fps, with a 367gr arrow, at 60# and 29" (speed cams), THAT is impressive. And for a bow that is so light, to be so quiet, and still THAT fast and shock free....makes it "the bow of the year".

I shoot a 2006 BowTech Tribute.

My gut feeling says it will be the Mathews Drenilen.
I have not shot the Drenilen.
I can not believe the Hoyt Trykon won bow of theyear last year.
I shot one & hated the valley.
IMHO the Hoyt V-Tec was/is a better bow, than the Trykon.

Im assuming by "bow of the year" you mean who will sell the most?

SwampCollie,
I find what you said about Drenalin speed very surprising. My Drenalin is set at 70#, my draw length is 29.5" and I'm shooting 400 grain arrows at 300 fps. It's strange that you would only get 301 fpsfrom a 350 grain arrow.

No i dont think that's how it works. Maybe it does, but I saw a tv commercial and in magazines thatthe Trykonhad won bow of the year. I'm not sure who decides this or if it has to do with sales or not. If anyone else nows can you please clear things up.
