What do you guys think of these bows?

billhilly7 · 02-14-2006, 07:33 PM

looks pretty light, good long brace height, pretty fast bow(i personally think 260 fps is just as good as 300 (IBO is different though), nice and compact bow, its made by bowtech wich ive never heard anything bad about but for that price, might as well get a hoyt or one of the new fred bears, i had a fred bear for years and it was a pleasure, overall though the bow looks fine, the ultimate test is shooting it and seeing how smooth it is. lemme know if ya need anymore input

Way too expensive.

I ordered one this morning. $469+tax. That's only $120 more than I paid for my jennings carbon extreme XLR 13 years ago.

all new bows are too expensive. thats why my last one was bought in 1984.

hahaha, amen lefty, i was born in 1985 though so i dont have a dabnab choice!

lefty o · 02-28-2006, 10:41 PM

good used bows exist. heck, my first bow ( which i still have) was made before i was born and i'll be 35 in a couple of hours so olds bows still get 'er done.

hahaha, well happy b day lefty, but i wont buy a used bow unless i knew the previous owner, some people abuse their bows so badly that they will never be the same, im all for fixer uppers but some peoples bows might as well be buried out back. ive repaired a lot of bows for people but they still never learn.
