Default Admiral question

Im probably asking something thats been asked already. I have shot and am considering the admiral. Is it worth the price. Having the money to spend isnt an issue-I do and can easily afford it. How ever I am a bit of a tight wad . Is the price between it and a $500 bow worth it?? Thanks-just having a hard time with spending that much money .

In my opinion YES... I can't think of a 500.00 bow that could compare to the quietness and lack of hand shock. After shooting my Admiral for a while I got out the Air Raid which is also a nice bow, but I can't get over the difference in how they shoot. The Air Raid feels like a spring going off if that makes sense as compared to the Admiral.

I buy a bow or 2 every year, but I must say whatever the bow manufacturers come out with this year will have to be super special or I won't be giving up the Admiral for a new bow.



I'm even considering selling the Air Raid and getting another Admiral for my back up

Love my Admiral. I wouldn't trade it for 2 Matthews. Ultra fast, silent and like stated above -No vibration. Plus the let-off in full draw is incredible and I can literally hold my Admiral at full draw for 2 minutes and still shoot accurately. I can't see anyone outdoing the Admiral for at least another 2 years, It's that good. Definitely worth the extra $

I think if you go put your hands on one and shoot it that will answer your own question.

The Admiral is one heck of a bow! No Doubt!!

Is it worth the money...... HELL NO!!! However, as over-priced as all the bows are these days, there's really nothing we can do about it.

That being said, the Admiral is one seriously awesome rig!
