PSE Bow
 

I'm thinking about buying the new Primos bow and was wondering if there is a better bow in this $600.00 price range?

That depends on a lot of things. Do you prefer shorter or longer ATA bows? Is speed important? How important is forgiveness? How long have you been shooting and what are your skills like?

In my opinion, shootability and forgiveness is more important than speed but speed is nice if you can be accurate with it. If you can't be accurate with it, all speed will get you is a quicker miss.

I have shot PSE's for the past 6 years until last week. I bought a Bowtech and I have to say I am a convert. It is a sweet bow. I would recommend to go shoot a few Bowtechs and see what you think. There are a few in your price range. My Blackhawk had a sticker price of $535. The Tomkat is even cheaper and is their most forgiving bow. I think Stevie Wonder could shoot that bow.

PSE has made it's mark in the archery world and they offer some fine bows! The Primos is one of their best in my opinion and if it fits you then you cant go wrong. Try shooting alot of different brands , sizes , models , etc. until you find one that you think fits you best. You'll know when you've found the right one.

I agree with Bowfanatic. There are alot of bows to choose from in that price range. You definately owe it to yourself to shoot the PSE and other makes/models/brands until you find the one that you think feels best.

Yeah you have to tell us what you plan to do and what you can pull and more:eek:

RE: PSE Bow
 

Shoot several in that range then decide. The primos is a great bow though.

RE: PSE Bow
 

I think the Primos is a great bow. I shot one before I bought my Firestorm lite. I like it so much that I set up my Firestorm much like the primos. The NV system literally deadens the bow. It's fast and smooth. Had it been a foot shorter ATA I probably would be shooting a Primos.

I'd shoot a few and see what feels best to you. If you end up with a Primos you've done well.;)

One PSE that you should look at before you buy one is the New Scorpion. It has the new smooth NRG cam and it shoots great. If I were buying a new bow this would be the one I would buy.:::::

Thanks for the input. I'm new to bow hunting and have never actually went on a archery hunt. I plan on hunting elk in CO and I'm probably going to buy a bow in the 60 to 70lb range. I have shot a few bows PSE's, Browning and Reflex and couldn't tell one from another. hornbow, is it proven that Bowtech bow's are more forgiving or is that your opinion? How much of a difference is there between the PSE and Bowtech when it comes to forgiveness and where's the best place to buy a Bowtech on line?

RE: PSE Bow
 

New Bowtech's are a Pro Shop only bow.

But they do have a program called the boonies if you dont live within a certain radius of a dealer.

You can see their bows here: http://www.bowtecharchery.com/

Bought my new Bowtech this year and love it.I shot several bows at the pro-shop.There is nothing wrong with PSE my first bow was a PSE but the bowtech seems to be making a better bow is all lighting fast very quiet and forgiving.Shot a few and see what you like the best as long as you like it thats all that matters

my dad shoots a primos and he seems to enjoy it. Before his primos he shot a bow tech and it didnt fit him right so he switched to the primos

RE: PSE Bow
 

There are a few things that go into how "forgiving" a bow is but mostly it boils down to brace hight and ATA length. In my opinion, brace hight is even more important than ATA. I shoot a Blackhawk that is just 28 and 7/8 inchs ATA. That is the shortest bow I know of from ANY brand. It has an 8" brace hight though and this bow is more forgiving than my PSE Thunderbolt with a 36" ATA and a 7" brace hight. "Forgiveness" is also a subjective term somewhat so, yes, it is just my opinion BUT the Tomkat does have over a 9" brace hight. It is still a short ATA bow (though longer than my blackhawk) but that enormous brace hight makes it extremely forgiving. If there is another bow out there with a larger brace hight, I haven't heard of it.

Unfortunately, you can't buy a Bowtech online. They are only sold by licensed dealers (pro shops). The Bowtech website can help you locate a dealer in your area maybe though. Also, you can look into the program mentioned by another in a post above.

hornbow, thanks again I guess I have some shooting and decision making to do. I've also been hearing a lot of good things about the new Mathews Outback so I might evan give it a go.
