Best of the Big Box Bows
 

So here's the deal, we all know the big box stores have "their own" bow that are generally far cheaper than the "brand name" bows (compared to top of the line). However, we all know that these bows are really just "brand name" bows without their own labels on them and maybe a different paint color/camo dip. So the question is, which big box store has the nicest shooting bow?

I'm going to assume we have people that have shot some of them/own some of them. I personally have not shot any of them so I will not vote on this one.

Yes the tec hunter is definitely a sweet shooter. little handshock and not as fast as my bowtech but still not bad for a single cam bow. But for the cash just save up and buy a bowtech.

With the prices of alot of these big box bows, I think you are farther ahead to buy the real deal. The Kryptik and TecHunter are nice rigs, the Cabelas one is a Parker if I'm not mistaken. Diamond is quickly creeping up on the Bowtech price scale, so I think soon they are going to be comparatively priced, which I think will be the demise of the Diamond line, unless someone is dead set on a single cam. The average bear can't afford two new bows just to try them out, so if it is a one and done purchase, I'm going for the top model.

They didn't seem that cheap when I went to Gander. The Tec Hunter Elite was nice but it was $699 last year. I paid less for my Black Ice.

Alot of guys like single cam bows..MATHEWS ring a bell. most single cam bows are nice shooters. But I will say that the tec hunter from gander is $699 and for that price save up another 150 and get a bowtech. The cabelas one is a parker and its a nice shooter too..a little slow but nice shooter. And BPS i havent seen the specs on their bow and havent shot it yet.

Do ya'll really think there truly is that much of a difference between these bows and the "real deal" to justify spending a couple hundred more?

Either way, you're all over thinking this question. I didn't ask about the comparable model brand name bows, I asked opinions on these three. Which of these three is the nicest?
