What Bow Would You Buy??
Looking to buy my first bow. Money aside what would you guys get? What's the best place in Edmonton to pick one up and fit it for me?
|
If money is not an issue I would shoot as many flagship bows as you can
Bowtech Reign 6 and 7 Hoyt Pro and Carbon Defiant Mathews Halon 32 Prime Centergy or Rize PSE Carbon Air Obsession (not up on this year's models) Elite Darton Maverick II (if you can find one) I am sure there is others I missed. If you live near Edmonton, a visit to Accurate Archery and Jimbows will cover alot of these. If near Calgary, Jimbows, Calgary Archery Center and OK Archery in Airdrie will get you fairly covered in most brands. No one can tell you what will feel good for you, you got to get out and shoot them all or as many as possible. Good Luck |
APA 34 TF with the new RDS cam
|
For the Edmonton area I think APA can be shot at T and T Archery in Sherwood Park
|
I shoot an Elite Impulse 31 and an Elite Synergy. I love Elite bows. I have owned Hoyts, Mathews, and Prime and Elite just does it for me. Very smooth draw, solid back wall and just very comfortable all around. JMO. As stated above shoot as many bows as you can as everybody has different likes when it comes to archery.
Good Luck, Matt |
If you're in Edmonton, go to Jimbow's; Sherwood Park has T & T Archery. Trophy Book Archery is in Spruce Grove and Accurate Archery is in Alberta Beach. Try ALL the bows you can. You'll know which one is right for you.

Like previously stated , goto jimbos talk with Carson and Dave and try every bow they have , don't get caught up in brand names or what your buddy shoots . All bows now a days are all equal and each bow fits everyone different so don't go choose a bow , let the bow choose you .

But if your in a hurry start with Hoyt and you'll save yourself time shooting the rest. [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am in same position -- initially I was all in on Hoyts, then I started reading about Bears, PSE, Bowtech, Mathews, Prime, Elite, etc etc.
Next week just going to test a bunch out and not concentrate on brand. |

I would buy either a new Carbon defiant Turbo or a Prevail 37 with SVX cams. I'm still un-decided...... |
What's wrong with saving as much as possible and going with a very decent, versatile bow like the infinite edge or the Cruzer?

I would still buy a Bowtech something. Love em. Nice cheap sportscar, like a corvette. Not a Lambo but feels as cool when in your hands ;) But if you got loads of cash grab a Matthews Monster Safari, Macpherson series, bare bow is around $2600 Canadian. I want one but too pricey. |
If money was no problem, I would have a couple different bows in various brands. Set up for different applications. One for 3-d shoots, one for stand hunting, one for spot and stalk hunting, and maybe one for late season hunting (ie:carbon riser). But it'd probably just be one for 3-d and one for hunting. I'm partial to Hoyt's, but I checked out a few dartons online last night. Looked pretty nice, but they're still sporting the old school cable slides.

I would definitely check if the big sale is still on at wholesale sports. They had Bowtech carbon icons on for almost 50% off, about $500 and in store they came with a dozen free arrows! Easily the best deal I've seen/heard of in recent years!!

X2 regarding Elite. The 2015 Synergy is my fourth and finest compound bow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I owned a Mathews Outback and it was a great rig, no complaints. Unfortunately I once had the cable of a Matthews Monster demo break at the peak of the draw cycle right where the Y cable fastens to that ring. It happened at an indoor range. The arrow hit the floor and ended up behind the till. luckily nobody was hurt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
