I have read nothing but good things about the 82nd, but haven't shot it yet.

Ive not shot any of those bows so couldnt help you. But prob. just based on what i "here", i would get the 82nd.

The one that felt best to me. Don't base your decision on what others have picked, everyone wasn't made from a common mold.

This is mostly a Bowtech place ..... shoot them all and decide for yourself ... most of these guys will tell you that or they'll say ...."Bowtech"

It's not really a Bowtech site, it's just the same ten guys trying to shove their newest gift from heaven down our throats. It gets fricken old. Check back on here in 12 to 15 months and the 82nd's will be being replaced by the new Star Ship Command.

I have shot them all and they do all feel different. It should be easy for you to decide if you shot them all. I know that there is only one that I would buy in the group.

I shot the DXT and the 82nd., along with a few others, and ordered the 82nd.

I have'nt tried any , but i would go for the X-Force cuz i like what i've heard about the bow and it looks great . soon enough i will tell you how it shoots too .

It is very Bowtech on here , but each to their own .

I think that's totally off the wall there Chris. Why is that an 82nd owner cannot be proud of their bow. I guess if we don't own a Mathews we're not allowed to speak our opnion. :eek: This is not a Bowtech site. There happens to be ALOT of proud Bowtech owners, God forbid someone buys one and does a review.

Hear that everyone, keep your new Bowtechs on the downlow, it offends Mathews owners. [:-]

I just got my DXT and it is one bad bow.

RE: If you had to choose between theses 3 bows...
 
I think Motown would agree with this; I'll tell you anything you need to know about a Bowtech, especially if it's one I've owned... If you're asking me whichmodel you should pick out of several different manufacturer's offerings, I've always said the same thing for almost a decade now: You simply need to go shoot them to see which one feels right to you. There's absolutely no way anyone can pick which bow is going to be the best one for you. We can give you helpful hints of what to look for, particular items to scrutinize, and offer insight into our experiences... but when it comes down to laying your hard-earned cash on the table, I'll stick with my time-tested advice: Go shoot them all, and come back and be proud of the one you chose.

I haven't shot the dxt yet. but it's on my list of things to do. I have an xforce, and have shot the 82nd. both nice bows. I hope matthews has corrected the issues with the dren. Would give that a hard look before I bought another one. Only you can decide what is right for you.

Beagle001 02-03-2008 01:07 AM

RE: If you had to choose between theses 3 bows...
 
im not voting, but I've heard that there are some people having troubles with their 82nd. I'm a Bowtech Boy thru and thru and i can't recall what it was that they were having trouble with, but that is what I've heard. if i get any updates ill let u know but its just for everyones info

GMMAT 02-03-2008 05:35 AM

RE: If you had to choose between theses 3 bows...
 
Only trouble I'm having with mine (82nd) is trying to figure out a way to dumb it down to shoot ASA 3D.

I agree with Greg/MO.....although I did shoot all these bows. Shoot 'em all.....and be proud of the one you pick. I don't have a dog in the fight. The first time I shoot something I like more than my current bow........I'll buy it.

I'm not sure what the purpose of quoting me was for, but whatever. I'm not knocking BowTechs....I'm just stating that they probably aren't the bow for everyone and that the only way to know which bow is best for you is to go out there and try them for yourself.

RE: If you had to choose between theses 3 bows...
 
I agree with what most are telling you. Shoot all the bows you can from every manufacturer you have access to. There will be one that just shoots better for you. I hope to put my 82 and 101 through some paces this week weather permitting;)

The only thing that has offended THIS mathews owner is the fact that you made a blanket statement about Mathews owners [:'(]Using your logic then, ALL Bowtech owners are sensitive sissies [:-]

As a Mathews owner, I just MAY be shooting a Bowtech next year ..... maybe a HCA .... Maybe even a, dare I say it, Hoyt ....... Then we have those who are on Bowtech's Corporate Staff ..... nothing wrong with that, but you guys will ONLY shoot a Bowtech ..... that's what I was dealing with in my original post ...and MO was just being MO ....

Rob, I still love ya! :DPlease don't ban me :eek:

Tony, I can onlyspeak for myself, butI like to think I am on staff because I Love the bows (among other things I can offer) IDefinitely do not Love the bows because I am onStaff. I shoot all the Flagship bows from every majormanufacturer every year, and if there was another bow out there that I liked better,I would beshooting it;)

I have shot Bowtech since 03 and owned8 Bowtechs before I was asked to be on Staff which has only beena little over a year ago.

That should tell you how I have felt about Bowtechs since shooting my 1st one in 03:D

Dan, I understand .... I love their bows .... there are things I love about almost all the bigger name bows out there ... I haven't shot the 08s yet, but I will, and I am sure, I will love most of those as well .... It is a wonderful sport we are involved in :)

It all depends if you're a single cam guy or Binary/Hybrid. I like the pull of a single cam, IMO they are a smoother pull/ To me that is more important than speed.

So I choose mathews for the pull and forgiveness.
