HEY I WENT TO THE BOW SHOP LAST NIGHT TO SIGHT IN MY BOW FOR A HUNT THIS WEEKEND I SHOT THE NEW BOWTECH DEFENDER AND WOW WHAT A BOW HAS ANYONE SHOT THIS BOW YET I WANT TO BUY ONE BUT THE PACKAGE PRICE OF ALMOST 800.00 BUCKS SCARES ME AWAY.... BUT I AM SHOTTING A BOW THAT I HAD FOR THE LAST 6 YRS I EVEN FORGET THE NAME BUT IT GOT ME A RAM AND OVER 20 DEER SO ITS OK STILL BUT I AM INLOVE WITH THE NEW BOWTECH DEFENDER

I got the Allegiance and couldn't be happier. Which shop did you go to?

B AND A ARCHERY ON STATE ROAD

Never shot the Bowtech. But I know the feeling. I picked up a Mathews LX and fell in love on first shot.

$800 for a complete setup doesn't sound too bad. The bow itself sells for a little under $600 locally. Throw in some top shelf accessories and it would be easy to eclipse the $800 mark. The new Defender is a very nice shooting little bow. All of the benefits of the Equalizer cam system with basically the same riser/limb configuration as the proven Mighty Mite.

I was considering placing an order on one but opted for a Diamond Triumph instead. With an Old Glory already in the stable I thought I might branch out and try the new Diamond line.

B & A right off of 95 and Cottman right? I used to go there all the time when I lived in Bensalem. I suggested to Bill that he pick up the BowTech line back in 2002 when he pushed mostly Champion bows. How is he doing?

Aim Archery in Croydon also has a nice selection of bows. Not sure if they carry bowtech though. I know they have Hoyt, Mathews, PSE and various others.

I just bought a Defender this spring. The sweetest bow I have ever shot. I bought my through Hunter Friend:

They were great to deal with and were very knowledgable.
