Stuck between bows....for the wife, lol... Not anymore, got one!
 

As the subject reads, I'm shopping for a bow for my better half...After not being able to find a used one, I decided to go ahead and get a new one...I went to my favorite local shop and inquired to them after my shooting session. They recommended a Mathews Mustang or Ignition, as far a price (349.99 & 499.99) they could not do a whole lot with bows flowing like crazy this close to opening day. This I figured ahead of time, but they will throw in 1/2 dozen CX arrows. I've got an extra rest, sight, and stabilizer to stick on there for the time being...Keep in mind they also sell Hoyt, PSE, Bowtech and associated brands. To take my dog for an adventure we went to Gander Mountain, while there I stopped by their archery shop. They recommended a Dianomd Edge, it is fully set up minus stabilizer for 329.99... I called back to my shop & talked to the guy there I trust the most. Told him what I found (which they also sell obviously), and he still recommended spending a little extra and go with a Mathews..... I fell kinda stuck.... What do you all think?

Thanks,
R

have your wife shoot them both...... Im guessing the mathews is probly a little better, but Im betting he gets kick back for selling a mathews bows. My g/f just said somthing to me about shooting so I may be doing the same thing you are.

Being a woman myself I'd recommend the diamond rock package from huntersfriend.com

Ihave had a very good experience in dealing with them and would recommend to buy from.

Its a very quiet bow, it shoots fast and is very light too.



I got a custom package which includes top quality accessories and I am not disappointed at all.


Hope you find something.

RG Thanks for the heads up on The Rock...What poundage are you shooting? My wife is tiny and will need to start out in the 30-40lb range... Looking at their website they are showing 60 & 70lb limbs...

How much do you love your wife;)?

Mathews are for girls so get a mathews. They are great bows and would be very happy with the mathews.

I'd look into the Hoyt Trykon Sport as well.

A Diamond only seams apropriate.

RE: Stuck between bows....for the wife, lol...
 

id go with the diamond edge. I have it and it shoots great and its super quiet. Theres a sale going on somewhere thats its only 300 bucks. but anyway i didnt know if you knew this or not but if you get a diamond and your wife needs bigger limbs sometime just take it to a bowtech shop and they can put the next set of limbs on for you you. example: 30-40 and you get 40-50 and so on. plus it only costs 45 bucks!! Lots of people havebeen getting them for theirwives and ive nothing but goodstuff about them.

I bought my wife the edge and honestly for the dang thing is down right wicked. She can shoot a 3" group at 30 yrds all day long. It isa tack driver, very quiet and easy to pull.

thats a real nice bow. i shot that before i decided to go with the Kobalt. Get her a HOYT!!

RE: Stuck between bows....for the wife, lol...
 

Have her shoot both and letHER decide which one she like the best.

RE: Stuck between bows....for the wife, lol...
 

So I must really really Love my wife. Just got back, she was able to draw #42 so we bought her a Hoyt Kobalt! She now has the nicest rig of our "hunting group." Instead of being insanely jealous, I'm completely proud of and for her...lol

BowTech makes some really nice bow packages. Nice thing about them, they are the last bow she would need. cutting egde design and a great company if youever have any problems with your bow they really like to make it right.

i would have said go for the Equalizer....
Man that thing just smokes everything else, withthe exception of maybe the Elite archey Ice or fire......
unreal bows....

Ford & Chevy.... We don't have anything against Bowtech, Just more a fan of Hoyt. As are alot of the guys at the shop. Hell, I wanna name my first son Earl Hoyt...lol

RE: Stuck between bows....for the wife, lol...
 

Congrats, that's a sweet little bow. She'll be very happy with that selection, for sure:)

Not to pinch anyones nipples here :Dbut Bowtech would be the last thing Id recomend with all the problems they have been having lately. Not saying they arent nice bows, they are. ive shot a few and was very impressed with the speed and quietness of them.
