Bowtech equalizer
 

Im thinking of upgrading my wifes bow for next year. I was wondering if there is anyone who has shot the equalizer and what did you think about it. Im mainly looking for a bow that is faster than her parker micro pheonix but also one that is fairly forgiving and smooth drawing.

I shoot one with 26" DL and 60#. Sweet shooting. There are previous posts if you do a search.

My wife shoots an Equalizer and I dare you to try and pry it away from her;)

Her shooting improved over night once she started shooting the Equalizer. For short draw bows there really is No Equal to the Equalizer:D

Thanks for the replies guys, Ill have to get her out and let her shoot one to see how she likes it.

Another bow that is comparable to the equalizer is theElite Ice just as fast and forgiving. Alot of shooters I know loves the elite.

The Elite Ice is no longer being manufactured. It has been replaced by the Fire for '08.

Hey MeanV2, what kind of speed is your wife getting with her bow. Arrow weight, poundage and all that to.

RE: Bowtech equalizer
 

I love my Equalizer.

Mine's set at 53.5 lb draw weight. 26.5" draw length. It has the smooth cams (I think that's what they're called). Let-off is at 65% (if that matters?)

I'm shooting a 29" Easton Litespeed. Total arrow weight is 368 grains. I chrono'ed the bow on Sunday and found out I am getting 243 ft per second.

I haven't chronoed her bow to be honest but when I gey home I'll check it out and let you know;)

237fps @50lbs and 25" draw, 329grain arrow.

RE: Bowtech equalizer
 

how is it that my g.f's parker buckshot is doing 200 fps with a 350 gr arrow at 24" of draw and 40# ?

RE: Bowtech equalizer
 

My son shoots one and he loves it. DL 25.5 wt. 45 lbs. arrow 318 gr ICS 500 @ 235 fps.

RE: Bowtech equalizer
 

Live2draw, I do have a hard time believing your g.f's bow is shooting that fast with that arrow, draw length and weight. If it is true than that bow would be rated pretty close to 290 or 300fps at 28 inch's. My wifes parker micro pheonix set at 52lbs with at 26inch draw is only shooting about 218 with a 350grain arrow. Im not for sure about this but I thought the micro pheonix was a faster bow than the buckshot. I could be wrong though.

RE: Bowtech equalizer
 

It's called Binary Cams (the camsare anchored to eachother, instead of the limbs, in an infinate loop), and the let-off could matter. I'm thinking about getting an Equalizer myself, it seems to be a good bow from what I'm hearing..

RE: Bowtech equalizer
 

My daughter shoots the Equalizer at 44#, 258 grain goldtip ultra 600's at 258fps. She has no problems drawing or holding the draw and it is very forgiving. She got a new bow so dad didn't and then had the audasity to whup my butt with it last night at our local indoor 3d range.

The Bowtech Equalizer
Draw 27" / 60lbs / 300 Grain arrow shoot 302 FPS When I chroned Mine.

I lowered mine to 25.5 draw 60lbs and was still shooting in the 280's fps area with my Tournament Arrows/ and 260's fps with my hunting arrows

The Bow will only max draw at 27.5 including the D-Loop in that measurement / and Max weight available is 60lbs.
The Equalizer is not available with the Smooth Modules / it is Speed Mod only. Keep in mind that it has an ajustable letoff with a extremely nice solid back wall and a bit of a stacking draw cycle.

It's an Excellent Choice for the shorter draw archer looking to increase their speed as well as Kenetic Energy.
For the Shorter draw archer the Equalizer is a Win Win situation ... they can lowerer their poundage on the Equalizer from what they were shooting on a previously owned slower bow and have increased arrow speed and kenetic energy.
