Buckmaster7600 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I buy a new bow every other year, do I need to? Nope. I like buying new bows. I have never been brand loyal and shoot everyone’s premier bow and buy the one I like best. Last two have been Bowtech before that it was a couple Hoyts, a Mathews, a couple dartons, a pse, and a prime. About the only one I haven’t owned is an elite because they haven’t made one I liked shooting. Cheap bows use old technology so a new 400$ bow will have the cams from the 3 or 4 year old premier bows. Doesn’t make them bad just makes them cheaper. The deer will never know what bow it was shot with because they’re all capable of accuracy way better than any of us.

moog5050 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I don’t think any of us really sold him on the Triax so I will repeat the pitch that sold Biz on the last latest and greatest Matthews: 1. Greatest bow ever made; 2. Faster than greased lightening; 3. Guaranteed that no more than 2hrs per year required to shoot like Levi; 4. Guaranteed to never miss a deer; 5. Guaranteed to get a shot on a booner every year. The bow draws em in like a magnet; and 6. In he highly unlikely event that there is a failure under nos. 4 and 5, You are invited to the matthews farm to shoot any buck it purchased from Four Seasons. Now that’s a company that stands behind its high dollar bows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyslowhand Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hasn't the compound bow technology pretty much max'ed out in the last 5yrs or possibly longer?? Seems to have been only sight improvements in cam technology giving modest fps gains, somewhat smoother draw or only slightly more let-off. JMO, Biggest advancement has been in the marketing BS. Here's my justification sales pitch: Just what %/portion of a successful hunt can be attributed to equipment and at what $$? Ranking how this "pie" is distributed, the hunter has the biggest chunk. Followed by pure luck and then the modest piece of the pie that's left is having the best equipment to perform the task. How much more successful will a hunter be with the latest or greatest equipment? Of course, there's the old and worn out analogy - how much deader will the deer be? IRC, most deer in NYS are reportedly taken within the ~20yrd range. Throw all this out if money is no object or you're a techie and need the latest and greatest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bowwith the best technology going right now has to be Prime , i'm afraid to shoot the logic or i'm probably getting a new bow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtTime Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I say shoot as many bows as possible, and make your decision based on what felt right and shot the best for you. Not price or brand. My Prism shoots fine, it's light, short ATA, has a good back-wall, draws smooth, and even after three years, no string stretch yet. It's a middle of the road bow, but I am happy with it. No 'blood on it yet'. As for accuracy, not being a high end bow, and I don't shoot leagues, as long as I do my part it's pretty damn accurate as can be seen by the posts in some threads.

The_Real_TCIII Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I've bought my last five bows used, one year old, half price. Four on AT one on craigslist. They've all been in excellent condition too. Highly recommend. Bows are worth 60% after a year, 40% after two, and after that you have to load them up with accessories and sell them at a loss 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Still carrying my 20 year old Mathews MQ-32. I think about a new bow every year. Have even shot a few. They are light years ahead of my old bow. But this old bow feels like an old pair of comfortable boots to me. Still hits where I aim it, and as recently as last year, still kills deer. Think I'll keep it "one more year"....................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
