Long draw bows...????

Douglas N · #1 12-04-2009, 11:56 AM

I'm on the hunt for a new bow. I've been shooting a PSE thunderbolt single cam for 9 years now. Time for one with a little more speed!! Trouble is, with a 31' draw length, the options are limited.

I've been looking a the Mathews Drenalin LD and now the new Mathews Monster 7.0.

What are you other LD shooters using?

Look into APA, You can't go wrong there, read up on them and go try some out, I 'm sure you'll agree. They come in single and dual cam.

Try the Elite XLR 37" ata and a 8.5" brace hieght...awsome bow. Perfect for a long draw.

The Black Mamba XL looks pretty sweet. Anyone shoot one?

First I've heard of Elite Archery. The reviews look good.

It's clear I need to do spend some time shooting these bows before I decide. I'm waiting for the new Matthews Monster 7.0 to hit Canada. Should give it a go also.

Thanks Guys!

Try the Hoyt Maxxis 35, that will give some great speed in a great bow, and the definatly goes out to your draw length of 31.

I have a buddy as well looking at the Hoyt. I know in an earlier post someone said that either the Archery centre or Jimbows had the Mathews Z7 in for sure, but none I believe have the Monster 7 yet.

You should go down and try them all out, the archery centre carries all the brands mentioned above. If you go down to the Archery centre, my only advice would be to deal directly with the Al the owner, for Elite, then you will get your questions answered for sure. Otherwise the rest of the staff down there shoot Hoyt and are very helpful always.

Hey Doug I shoot a APA black mamba X1 and really like it. Got a buddy with a long draw length - 31 maybe 32 inch - who shoots a APA as well. His bow is a few years old but because of his long draw he gets way more speed than I do at 27". APA will I'm sure have a booth at MOAS and/or nationals in Red Deer this spring.

Jimbow's has the mathews Z7 in for sure, pulled it back the other day, seems alot nicer than that rezeen they had last year.

If you have any questions about APA, like argo guy said in another thread, ask blackmamba.
