monahmat Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Now that the 2017 lineups are out I'm curious to hear what everyone is shooting now and what they want to take for a test drive?I'm currently shooting an Elite Synergy. I'd like to pickup a second rig for 3D with a little more speed. Hoping to try out the new Elite Revol, Bowtech Reign and Prime Centergy.

The_Real_TCIII Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I've got a Pulse and an Answer. I'm selling the Answer and getting something I just don't know what yet. My Pulse is getting buried with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Those twin track Primes have sparked my interest a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The Mathews Halon has really caught my eye. My MQ-32 is 17 years old. Still shoots fine. But it may be time to start 'looking'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monahmat Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I shot the Halon 32 last weekend. I was very impressed with how smooth it was. Also shot Elite Option 7 which was dead on the shot. I'd have a hard time deciding between the two. Evolve is next up on my list to shoot. I'd like to try that Prime Centergy but there are no dealers within a couple hours of me.Sent from my KFGIWI using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodfather Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have a Halon 6 that I got last year and love this bow. But this forum has a huge Elite following that has me intrigued. I shot an elite when I bought my Halon just wasn't that impressed. It had so much let off I felt like I had to push the string after pulling the release. I'd like to look into a target bow but just not in the cards at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find yourself a used Elite Pure for a target rig . You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeGuy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 A few are interesting, but I'm keeping my butt out of the proshops... I love my E32 and don't need any temptations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm a bit like Grampy, my Reflex is about 10 years old, before that I used my Golden Eagle for 18 years . im not sure what a new bow can do for me . Although if I retire this May, I may try out a traditional bow for something to do . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Larry...... I thought the same thing...until I started looking...then bought my Mission Venture 4 years ago....what a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monahmat Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I just purchased a lightly used Energy 35 for shooting 3D this summer. New prices are a bit tough to swallow. I may stick to purchasing bows a year after release at half the price.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you can score 240s plus regularly, the deer better be nervous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ya, after 18 years with the Golden Eagle , (I think '88 till 2006 or so ) I saw a big differance in size and weight of bows and I was no,longer shooting 2117 telephone poles. I could also use a drop away rest to see what the fuss was about . The Reflex shot much flatter which was cool , although , I've only shot one deer at25 yards and that was with the Golden Eagle .... Most are shot at ~15yards or less . So what would i gain today ? Easier to draw and hold ? Big sticker for the back windshield of the Buick ? Moog, yes and my buddy out West will be happy I removed the training wheels from my bow too ! we'll talk I need to match the poundage to my shoulders I think . The whole " stick and string " thing is starting to appeal to me . I may even plant some Yew trees and flint knap some heads .....

Go ilf and you can get light practice limbs and then medium weight hunting limbs. Would be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glittergoat Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I guess I've been regressing the past year or two. I'm excited for the '58, '61, and '62 Bear Grizzlies I picked up this winter. Love the newer bows too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybuckboy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I been shooting a Mathews Drenalin since 2009 set at 60#. Love the bow and actually hope I don't regret the change. I'm not getting any younger so stepped up to the pump and got a Mathews Halon 6 - 60#. The reason is at 63, 64 this season I wanted a bow with more speed. I plan to shoot the new bow at 60# this year but know that the older I get the less I will be able to draw back so the new bow at 55# will be still faster then the Drenalin.
