What's the best bow?
 
I'm looking for a new bow this year:) and times running out before the hunting season. Need a little help in deciding. Please vote, and leave a reason why you chose the bow that you did.



i'm guessing that its mostly going to be all about the mathews.

Man, the best bow for me might not be the best bow for you....If you plan on getting a new one, you need to go put all those bows in your hands and shoot as many as you possibly can. Once you narrow it down to 2-3 that feel good in your hand then you can start deciding between all the little factors that come into play.....First things first, if the bow is uncomfortable to you, it doesn't matter if everyone here told you it was the best or not....Good luck with your new bow and let us know what you wind up getting...

I didn't choose the mathews I'm just expecting that most people will choose the mathews or the Bowtech bows. They seem to be the most popular.

Well, some poll this is. The best bow isn't even on this list.

If this is a strictly hunting bow then my vote would be between the DXT and the Black Ice.

However, I would pick the General over either one of those. Which, BTW, is the best bow. ;)

IMHO it seems you want whatever bow ends up being most popular. I shot nearly 20 different bows this year and found a clear cut winner and never second guessed myself. You need to write down all the aspects you want and then pick what shoots best. For me I wanted a bow that would shoot a 400gr. arrow at least 300fps in 28", wanted nothing longer than 34" ATA but not shorter than 30" ATA and shot well. I went into the experience thinking I'd get a Bowtech Guardian or Allegiance and ended up with a Hoyt Katera. Don't worry about what everyone else wants, pick what fits YOU best. We won't be there pulling the arrow back and shooting it for you

Not bashing Rev. Just a little humor.

According to the question, if one were to choose the "best bow", according to their opinion, then the list would have to include at least 100 different bows. As it is, are we asked to pick the "best bow" or the best bow from this list? If from this list then I would suggest picking any one and set it up and shoot. There aren't any bad ones there. Just a very incomplete list.

If I were going to go buy a new bow today, I would should the Mathews DXT or the Bowtech General/Guardian...

Without looking at your post count I can tell you're new here.;) This is a Bowtech heavy fanboy site.

With that said I'm currently shooting a Drenalin, but all of the bows you have listed there are good bows. You just have to figure out which one fits your needs best.

Elite or Darton They offer the binary cam systems with no lean or limb twist.

The best bow IMHO is not on the list is a bowtech guardian. The DXT got my vote heres why if I just had to buy one today then it would be the DXT I am for the most part a bowtech guy but it feels the best and is I believe the best all around bow of this year. Other than the guardian but I have a guardian. Which in my opinion is still the best bow that is out right know.

Careful!! Rob has all seeing eyes;)

You left a lot of good bow modelsoff the list, but of those listed the 82 is the best for me.
