Default which bows??????

Im looking into getting back into bow hunting and I want to buy a new bow as ive never been real happy with the parker I got I just can't shoot good enough groups for me to be happy it just don't feel right to me. So im going to trade it in for a new one.... I have looked into the mathews drenalin, hoyt vectrix and the bowtech guardian. I havn't shot any of these bows, but havn't heard much on the mathews but from the way it sounds the hoyt and the bowtech are top notch. Just wondering what you guys think of the bows.....

My openion is to shoot all 3 and see which one you like best. Diffrent people are going to have diffrent views about bows. So what might be a plus for some might not be true to others. Look and shoot all of them and see which one fits your hunting style best. If you do alot of stalking, you might look more into a lite bow than a heavier one. If you sit in a tree stand, you might want a shorter easier to manuver bow etc.

All new bows are great, it really comes down to which application better suits you.

Yup, shoot all 3 and then decide. I have a suspicion after you shoot the Guardian we'll be seeing that in your future trophy pictures. I've only shot one, Matt / PA's and I've never been so impressed with one bow over any other like I was that day. I love my Allegiance and the Guardian just blew me away. Good luck in your decision and let us know. Oh, the new Bowtech's are coming out as well, amazing reviews so far as well as in the Diamond line.

Maybe you need to find a better bow shop not a new bow.

I technically don't have abow shop anymore the one I use to go to closed down. Then I bought the parker at a different place and I don't think the guy knew what he was doing, so I went to another bow shop and had them look at it and watch me shoot and he adjusted some stuff, we came up with the draw length is to short so we added a string loop to help with that and he said everything looked good. I also had a friend watch me shoot the shoots all the time and he thought my form and stuff was pretty good but I just can't get that parker to shoot groups like my old golden eagle I had did. So i feel I need somthing different. That guardian just looks plain weird. Im going to maybe go look at some bows this weekend. The mathews seems to be the higher priced option and havn't heard much about it, so I think its gonna be the guardian or the vectrix.
