Default high end or low end bow

I only deer hunt and I shoot a hoyt mt sport. Like every new bow hunter
I would like to up grade to the high end bows, razortech, xtech ,bowtech
liberty and the list goes on, what will one of these high end bows give me
that my low end bow doesnt as far as hunting deer goes? I can keep my
shots in a three to four inch circle at 30 yrds with this bow unless I screw up myself.

Usually you'll find the higher end bows to be a little more faster, quiter, smoother, etc. It's like buying a chevy caprice vs a corvette, they both get the job done, but there is an obvious performance gap.

Here goes.......
In my opinion, not much. A little faster arrow, that's about all.
Oh, and of course, bragging rights....until the next batch of new bows comes out.

I agree that more money spent for a high end bow is mostly wastedunless you shoot a lot of target or 3D in the off-season. An MT Sport is not all that bad a bow, even at entry level. The money not spent on the bow would serve you better by buying top quality accessories that will last for years, be more trouble free, and can bemoved to the next bow, should you choose to get one. Too many guys buy a high-end bow and buy cheap sights, quivers and such. When they get it all together they have problems with noise and screws coming loose because they got a bow to brag about but mounted junk on it.

IMO it is not how much or how less you spend on a bow.

It all boils down to how well the bow fits you and what you want the bow to do.

I hunt with what could be considered a medium priced bow. Hoyt serria tec cost about $450.00. I have been sucessfull with it. I plan on using it for a few years. You don't need a top of the line bow to be sucessfull in the deer woods..

So IL cornfeed your telling me because you shoot a high end bow you could out shoot a guy who shoots a low end bow? I shoot trap and I use a 400 dollar 870 wing master, when the big boys come out with there 3000 dollar brownings, pirazeis or berratas I have no fear , because I ussually beat them
I stiill think Its all in your head and what you feel comfterbal with.

Some years ago there was a staff shooter for one of the big manufacturers that was winning everything on the circuit with one of their low end bows. The honcho's reamed him out good and made him start shooting one of their high end bows, where they they had more profit margin.

Things haven't changed. The low end bows will shoot for someone who knows how to shoot. Someone that doesn't know how to shoot, they can spend all the money they want to on equipment and they still won't know how to shoot.

Confidence comes from practice and knowing your equipment. It doesn't come out of your wallet.
