The one that shoots the best for me. Try them all and pick the one you like best.

Well, that is very easy! The BowTech Liberty!!!! Oooops, I already have it!!! :D Seriously though, there isn't a single other bow on the market that I would trade this thing for! Sure, I would like to add others to my collection, the Pat Dually, the BlackKnight, the MightyMite VFT, the Pro40 wheely, ect.... but if I had just one choice, well, I have already found it!!!!:D

BowTech Patriot or Liberty. I'd probably go with the speed and pick the Patriot.

Good Luck!

I'd go with any BowTech thier customer service is 2nd to none ,I will be making a statement when my new bow arrives and I'm sure it will persuade you to go BowTech not that Hoyt or Mathew's ,Martin ETC,ETC, aren,t good bow's, but you'll appreciate just what I have to say Give me a week or so and I'll make my post.

I'd really like to get my hands on Mathews new shorty bow, or the Bowtech Mighty Might VFT.

I love my Oneida Black Eagle for a lot of reasons. It shoots fast and smooth. My favorite reason seems simple but helps out in the field a lot. The bottom limb will slip into my pocket to take all of the weight off while standing watching the deer.

When hunting with a lot of deer around you find that you will have to stand at the ready practically all the time. You will also find it harder to shoot because of all of the eye balls could catch even the slightess movement.

Like the rest have said, shoot everything you can get your hand on. Buy what you like and go out and slay some bambies.

I will be owning a MM VFT within the next week. Yesterday I went and shot the Liberty, MM VFT, Justice and Mathews Outback. I chose the MM VFT over them all. Hopefully they will get a Patriot SC in before I pic up the MM VFT just to make sure but if not I know I'll love that little bow.

I would buy whatever bow I liked, that was carried by the best bow shop in my area. The brand is completely unimportant. They are all good. I want the shop to stand behind my purchase in the event of any problems and will choose from whatever they carry. I've shot tons of bows that I liked very much and can't imagine how anyone could only find one bow or one manufacturer that could supply them with a great bow.

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
ncbowhunter said it best. I would keep the one I have now. I do have to wonder why I notice certain companies seem to pop up with "greatest customer service" or "customer service second to none". Seems to me with a quality bow one should rarely need cusomer service. Perhaps one might ask why all those people are needing customer service in the first place.

ralphie,

Every company has problems, due to them or not! We all know that you are talking about BowTech, so lets just get that out in the open! The thing is, BowTech is willing to fix any problems, caused by them or not! Also, they are accessible! How many other bow companies have there technician, owners, ect... e-mail address on them? No matter what company, they have problems, and in BowTech's case, it is nice to know that you will get the help that you DESERVE!!!!!

If I was looking for a new bow this year I'd have to SERIOUSLY look at the new Merlin's. I had a Merlin Quest a couple of years ago, and it was extremely nice... just too short A2A for me to get comfortable with. Merlin quality is second to none. I currently have a Hoyt and a Mathews. The Hoyt is quieter, the Mathews is faster.

I have been looking at the bowtechs. But now the question is... which one?? They are all real nice bows. I was looking at the tech 29. The patriot has too long of an ATA for my likings. But the tech 29, mightymite, and blackhawks are nice.

Buck Magnet 02-08-2004 11:05 AM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
jbrodie,

If you like the short bows, definetly check out the BowTech Justice. It has the freedom cam and is just one heck of a sweet shooting bow. It isn't as fast, but man is it great.

Ralphie ! just to inform you that customer relation's doesn't necessarly mean a break down but If you need advice or any other question's you need answer's to they will respond immediatly not 2 week's down the road or not at all . I'll tell you that I have had some problem's getting my hand's on my new BowTech Patriot Dually and if it wasn't for BowTech and a couple of guy's on this forum I'd be shooting a bow that was not the bow I thought it was .I'll explain this in a later post when my new Dually show's ,but as well buck Magnet is absolutely right all companies have little problem's and mistakes they're only human just like you and me .

when we talk about bowtech customer servise most of ask ask about if certain things work on the bows like rest and other stuff..

RobinHood36 02-08-2004 12:08 PM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
Hmmmm, I would have to say I would have to buy B. M.'s bow, as it is already broke in and fine tuned, and if I could'nt buy that one then I would be looking at the Mathews new line and the new line of Bowtechs...Tough choice!!![:@]

Swamp Dawg 02-08-2004 12:47 PM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
My vote would go to the Bowtech Liberty. Simply Awesome! ;)

Having said that, I still want to check out the Pat Dually. It's suppose to be a real arrow burner!

jepcho 02-08-2004 01:47 PM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
Probably the new Matthews

ralphie 02-08-2004 07:44 PM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
Sorry to disappoint some of you guys but I wasn't taking shots at any particular brand. Guess you aren't nearly as good at reading minds as some of you thought. Please note that I never stated which brand of bow to purchase and still believe ncbowhunter had the best response. Perhaps a deep breath is in order for a couple of you fellas. No harm intended guys!

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
well I did what everyone says to do shoot them all than decide and for me it was the mattews lx but it wasn't an easy choice it seems alot of companys are doing incredable jobs with thier bows. Luckey us

BOWFANATIC 02-08-2004 09:09 PM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
Well lets see , I tried the entire Bowtech line , entire Martin line , tried the new Hoyts (already own the Ultratec) , tried the Parkers and Champions , the new Archery Research bows , and the new Mathews line. Only one bow stuck out to me out of all of them and that was the Mathews Icon. I ordered it last week.
Try them all until you find your match!

A Black Widow! Much simpler and a pure joy to shoot

Mathews Outback. I'd also like to get my hands on the gal from the Martin Bows ad.;)

pdq 5oh 02-09-2004 08:11 AM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
For hunting bow, I'd choose either the BowTech Liberty or Justice. ATA preference would determine the choice between these two.

Arthur P 02-09-2004 08:16 AM

RE: what bow would you buy?
 
Yup, Troy. Serve up a Black Widow for me too. MAII Greybark if you please. :D
