York and later PSE did the shoot through and ambidextrious riser, nothing new. The electronic sight won't be legal in many states for big game and is anyone sure it will actually work?

Illegal in a lot of states as well!

I have to agree with you there! I hate the way the PSE X-Force looks. I love my Diamond bow. I think that Darton might be the one to come out with something new like they already came out with their new 2 cam and a half. Wouldn't surprise me if Darton comes out with something completely different. Them or bowtech.I think if anyone is going to come out with something new and innovative it will be someone we wont expect.

Ok so bowtech didn't come out with a "new and innovative bow" but they did improve on older models like they took the guardian put smoother cams added the roller guard and string suppressor gave it a higher brace height thus loosing speed but got a bow that is smoother, quieter, and even more shock free! sure the roller and string suppressors aren't new but have you already seen another bow with the string suppressor place where they are on the Bowtech/Diamond bows? Oh and the invelvet is IMO the best finish there is out there!

How would that give them something new and innovative? How does making a bow faster make something innovative?

What has Mathews done to improve on their bows? And Hoyt all their bows look the same. PSE X-Force looks[:'(] I have seen one shoot and they aren't that great.
My vote will have to go for bowtech.

Here's my take, Bowtech has a good thing going, I think the Diamond bows are good for Bowtech, because they are priced right to appeal to a "budget archer." Elite looks like they are building some steam, and YES, they do look like a Bowtech less one thing, LAMINATED LIMBS!!! Bowtech should have gone to LAMINATED LIMBS long ago, would have probably solved some of those fabled "Limb Problems," and probably gave them a few extra FPS. I'm a Hoyt/Reflex guy, but I always have my eyes open. I'd like to get a chance to shoot the new 101st Airborne, as I think it would likely be a bow I could consider putting in my hand for the spec's it comes with. I really like a longer A-to-A, therefore, this rules out a lot of stuff being in my eye as far as that goes. I also think Hoyt has a good thing going with the Reflex line, though this year's offerings FIZZLED horribly, I was severely disappointed with what they came out with. Ross is too small, not enough variation, Bear gets an Honorable Mention with their new design, but I really think ELITE is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Where do you get the impression the center pivot riser has "lost steam"? If you knew the numbers of bows BowTech are selling..............you'd turn off your computer.

Learn more of the history herebefore typing. As they say..........'nuf said.

What are they doing so ground shaking? HCA is shooting light arrows at high poundage to get some extra speed. That's so early 90s.

Atleast they can do it now without blowing up left and right.

Just left.

Who holds their bow by the riser?.......I have a wooden grip on my bowtech and NEVER hunt with a glove. I didn't notice any change in sound level from years past when I shot them.......they are quiet now but always have been.


Both are after market accessories and are not standard.........and one is illegal to hunt with (both in some states).


Which I was told may not even start shipping until early summer.........I am already gonna be thinking about 2009 bows by then.

I meant right now...........2008........what exactly about the 2008 line makes you think they are the leader in technology?
