RE: what does everybody think of the archery research bows
Ive been shooting an AR 34 for about a year and have never shot a bow that I like better. Ive shot Matthews for years and owned five different ones but I like the AR better than any ive owned. You wont be disappointed.

I have an AR34 and love it. Its raised my 3D scores 20-30 points and killed one 8 point at 180 lbs. Its a real nice bow and the only complaint I have is the grip is damn cold when it gets below 20 Deg.

I have a AR 34 from last year that I absolutely love. I am giving that one to my brother and I am getting the new AR Ram and1/2 this year. Great bow, smooth shooting. Very competetive with the Mathews line. I have shot many bows during 17 years of shooting competition and hunting. You will not go wrong with an AR. Either AR or Mathews; you willnot be disappointed.

I shot the AR34 last season as was pleasantly surprised with it's smootness ,but it was lacking in the speed dept .As for the vib's and hand shock I never noticed it .I heard the AR had some issue's last season with the riser but it had been corrected for this season .I would have to say that the AR was a pretty decent bow ,good luck with your choice .

RE: what does everybody think of the archery research bows
I bought an AR34 last year and have really enjoyed shooting it. I've shot lots of the new bows, and I honestly think the AR34 is as smooth drawing, as quiet, and has as little hand shock as any bow out there. They are not terribly fast, however (if that's your cup of tea). And I couldn't put a MZE rest on my AR34 since the cable slide doesn't move enough. I don't think you'd be disappointed with an AR, a Mathews, or a Bowtech...

RE: what does everybody think of the archery research bows
I only herd of one problem with the riser and that was the cureing of the paint. This was only a problem with the first bows sold last year. I have one of thoes bows and where my hand rest on the grip the paint has worn off somewhat. The dealer keeps asking when I would like it replaced. I am going to get another season out of it before I get my free riser. I am very happy with it. Shooting flat to 25 yards, with aproved arrow weight from AR.[8D]
