Matt/PA's your answer man.

I'm also shooting with guys tomorrow and Sunday who shoot this bow. I'll get their feedback and let you know what they say.

YUP. great shooter... love everything about it but bought the Guardian for my own reasons.(I couldn't wait any longer)[8D] No negatives about the Commander as far as I'm concerned. Maybe a little heavier than some. Longer Axle to axle than a most bows today. High brace height. If you're a tall guy or a finger shooter I'd stop with this one. It won't let you down.

Thanks david. Jeff please do give some feedback. I would reckon that with a 8" BH combined with the longer AtoA it would be a nice shooting, forgiving bow.

Well.....if that's what you wanna know about......lol

I shoot the COnstitution as my target bow. It has a 41" ATA and an 8-1/4" Brace height.

I got my DL straightened out.....and this bow is a sweet shooter.;)

Matt/PA and Rick James are also shooting the Constitution.

Not sure if I am ready to go back to that long of a bow again but I will not rule it out for now. I was wondering about the Constution though.

I'm a hunter first and last. I don't do 3D, tournaments or any of that. Everything I mention is in reference to hunting. If I shoot a target it's with the same bow I hunt with.

Brknarrow (Frank) shoots the Commander. I'll be shooting with him on Sunday......and I'll let him know about this thread.

I will be using whatever new bow I get for hunting for the most part.

Fair enough, David....but I would hunt with the Constitution without a second thought.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks GAMMAT. david, that's what I do as well. I practice often for the sole purpose of hunting. I do, however, enjoy shooting at home.

Great bow...I have an 07. Great shooter. It is a little longer but as davidmil said if you are a tall guy its your bow. I am 6 foot 3 and it doesn't feel long to me. I hunted with it and currently shoot 3d with it as well.

The specs are pretty darn close. Even the IBO is within 2 fps.

I'm not that tall but I am going to shoot one soon as I can find one to demo Ben

I shot one at indoor league the other night. A little more hand shock than I expected. Of course I shoot a Matthews.

Am I allowed to say that on here anymore? lol

I have 2 of them a 60lb 07 and a 50lb 08.

Both are great shooters.

I have two 07's, a 60# and a 70#. I thoroughly enjoy shooting these bows. They shoot well enough for me that I haven't felt the need to put a stabilizer on them. I am 6' tall but I really like the longer ATA. The commander will be a great hunting bow which is all I use it for.

The Commander is a nice shooting bow, but for my needs the Guardian was better suited. IMHO 29" up I'd look at the Commander, but shorter draw lengths the Guardian is very nice and I can't see any bow being much more forgiving than it is.

I Have the 07 commander - I tried a couple of different bows and went right back to my 07 commander - used it the first part of hunting season last year -highly recommend it - I have shot everything out there seems like and of them all I would rank the commander in the top 3 bows I have owned and i won't be parting with it anytime soon- Haven't seen an 08 but sure would like to get my hands on one -

RE: Bowtech Commander
 
MeavV... a lot of my decision making was like yours, 27 1/2 inch draw, release and all that. That said, somethings do suffer with shorter A/Axle bows, lower brace heights and all that. My Darton Maverickis a much better shooter than my Guardian for me.

RE: Bowtech Commander
 
That did it I am going to go and shoot a bowtech so I can have an opinion.
Off to find a dealer in my area.;)
