Top 10 bows on the market
 

Hi everyone I'm in the market for a new bow and I was wondering what are the top 10 bows on the market. I just want a better understanding of the good bows and are their any good bows besides the big name companys. I dont have a price range just looking for the best. I also want a quiet bow and all of the new bows seem to be about the same in speed. I'm mostly looking for the 2009 -2010 linup and I'm going to be using the bow for hunting.

Thanks

Im guessing my top 10 would be different from everyone elses. Its personal pererence really. You just need to go to a good shop and shoot a bunch of bows and then decide. And their are a TON of good bows out there this year. And some companies to look at beside the big 4(Hoyt, Bowtech, Mathews, PSE)are, Athens, New Breed Archery, Elite, Strother, Rytera/Martin. Im sure their are others im forgetting but those are the ones that come to mind. Good luck with whatever you decide to buy.

Top 10 is pretty broad. Bow choice depends largely on personal feel, performance you require out of the Bow, and money you can or are willing to spend.

IMHO you would be Much better off staying with an established company avoiding problems down the road. I'd look at and shoot all of the folowing I could get my hands on then you will be equipped to start narrowing down the field.

BowTech, Diamond, Hoyt, PSE, Bear, and Mathews. There is a wide price range available in all those established brands, as well as several different performance ranges.

Good luck!!

I would say these are my preferences

1.pse bow madness
2.hoyt powerhawk
3. hoyt alphamax
4.hoyt maxis
5.hoyt katera
6.diamond iceman
7.hoyt alphaburner
8.mathews monster
9.mathews z7
10.mathews rezzen 7.0

Elite, Strother, New Breed, Hoyt, Mathews, PSE, the new bear attack , to name a few of my top picks and their bow lineups are sweet.

a great affordable bow is the new bear bows they have new designs because primos went to mathews.

I really like a pse bowmadness or a mathews z7; the z7 is one of the smoothest drawing bows on the market.

Wow, this is Hoyt's cheapest bow. I love mine, but i am suprised anyone would list it in the top 10 of all bows. It is about 1/2 the the price of the high end bows.

Shoot EVERYTHING you can get your hands on, and then YOU will know which one really is "TOPS" for you, or at least be able to narrow it down a bit. I personally have a handful that are the TOP few for me, but that's just my PERSONAL feel for bows. Anything w/ a short valley is OFF my list because I like to come into a valley and hit a solid wall. For some guys I know, they actually like a short valley, most I know do not though. A solid wall is something MOST guys like, yet I know a couple finger shooters who don't like a real solid wall, again a personal preference, and something that you have to decide which you like, and go with it from there.

what is valley and and solid wall
