Pup,

These are the best target bows.
1 Merlin Super Nova
2 Bowman Accu-Riser
3 Merlin Max 2000
4 Red Man
5 PSE Mach 11
6 Martin Scepter II, soon to be Scepter III
7 Green Horn
8 Hoyt ProTec
9 Hoyt Ultratec
You will not do better than this list.
I own the first 4 on the list.
I consider the Super Nova the best of the best.
It's very forgiving, dead accurate, and more beautiful than anything out there.

RE: best target bow
 

I agree with Sag , except he has them in the wrong order<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

The ultratec and protec should be at the top of the list<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

&quot;Nocked,cocked & ready to rock&quot;

RE: best target bow
 

yea i have bean looking at the ultratec i like it i havent really looked at any other bows so i guese i will check these others out....

small but deadly

RE: best target bow
 

the pro 38 and pro 40 by bowtech should not be over looked. the 38 is the sweetest bow i've ever shot.

RE: best target bow
 

Sag has got it correct, altho the Max 2000 should be in the second spot. <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> All others deserve to be on the list also. Good shooting, pinwheel 12

RE: best target bow
 

Add to the list the &quot;Alternative eXact&quot;
Odd that the bow/s that won Vegas the last 2 years didn't make that list. Hmmmmmmmmm
Oh yeah, ALMOST forgot. Alpine Stealth Force [;D]

RE: best target bow
 

Best, is a very opinionated thing. If any of these were clearly better than others, no one would shoot any of the others. Just about every manufacturer makes a bow that is suitable for target shooting. It's a matter of finding one that you like the feel of and then becoming good enough to compete.

RE: best target bow
 

Pinwheel and everyone else.
I should have said these bows are in no particular order.
Except for the Super Nova, of course. :^)

Mathews Q2XL. Best target/tournement/hunting bow ever. Allthough, id wait till next year to buy one(if u decide to make the good decision and go to Mathews, :-) cause theyll more than likely put the new stuff on the XL or a bow like it. Even if they dont, ill still take the XL any day. Or the Legacy. Its a little shorter though but a great all around bow.

RE: best target bow
 

revolution triumph no one has really heard about them check them out on there web site best darn bow i have ever shot and i have shot just about everything

RE: best target bow
 

Hunter9022, You Mathews guys Kill me with that stuff LOL :)

RE: best target bow
 

I feel its the bow that fits you the bes tthat you feel the most comfortable with. I have seen cheap junky bows shoot high scores and I have seen high dollor bows you can hit the side of a barn with. Me I shoot a Mathews Conquest II for 3D and a Q2XL for hunting.

RE: best target bow
 

I would have to say imo
1) Supernova
2) Redman
3) Mathews Rival Pro for 3-D

RE: best target bow
 

A good target bow is different than what hunters and 3D guys may want.

1) Merlin Supernova
Then in no real order:
- Merlin Max2000
- Martin Septer2 (soon to be 3 as Sag pointed out)
- Bowman Accuriser
- Hoyt Protec
- Martin MV2
- Redman
- PSE Mach 11

There are many older model bows that are great too for target shooting.

RE: best target bow
 

Rob,

I knew, I probably left a couple out. Yes, MV-2 deserves to be on the list. Along with the Alternative Stealth Force mentioned.
You're also correct...
There are some grand target bows that are no longer available.
Hoyt Superstar is my favorite of the oldies.

RE: best target bow
 

Now that everybody has listed their own personal choices I'll give my two cents worth...All the bows listed are without a doubt great shooting bows although there are some bows missing from the lists.

The best target bow in my opinion is the one that feels best in your hand, holds the steadiest for you and shoots the best for you. We ALL know it's the person behind the bow that makes the bow perform the way it does. Go to a Pro Shop and try em all if you can and oh by the way don't forget to try out a BowTech Pro 38, Pro 40, Generation 3.2 or even a Black Knight 2....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> lol..I had to do it guys......

RE: best target bow
 

Bowtech Shooter,

Heck, if Mathews can win Vegas, why not Bowtech.
Like I stated before. If I wasn't such a Merlin fan, I wouldn't mind having a G 3.2
