Turkeygirl Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 the demo bows are suppose to come in to the bow shop I go to and am planning to get my bow from. Stopped there yesterday to see what they had. Held a Mathews Passion, Hoyt Vicxen, Hoyt CRX I think it was, and a Mathews Z7. I noticed the Z7 was a little "top heavy". Other ones felt nice. Planning to go back in a couple weeks to try some bows and maybe place my order:shifty:. Got one more shop to check that has Bowtechs...try and stop there in the next week or 2. Anyone know, with my DL be9ing 25" and a bow in the 50-60 pound range, wil la bow that is women's specific vs. non-specific be any different in speed/performance? Or is it not really an issue? Bow shop has some decent prices and they have a deal going on where when you get a bow, you get $100 off accessories....seems good to me!

RangerClay Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I know how excited you must feel. You sound like me when I was shopping for a new bow last year. Be sure to check out the Diamond line-up as well. Also if at all possible, find out if you have an Elite dealer near you. I was really impressed with these bows when I tried them out last year. Did you look at the bows at Gander Mountain when you were there? My GM has some awesome deals on some of the 2010 Diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The only manufacturer that has a full chart of speeds posted that i know of is Strothers. According to the speeds the women's bow (the Allure) is pretty much the same as the regular bows at 278-286 fps. I know that some women's bow speeds posted on websites is not with a 350 grain arrow. I'd try and shoot some to see if you can. I know a lot of the regular bows are optimized for 60+ lbs and most are only available for 26"+ draw.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ruth, I think the womens specific bows just have easier cams to shoot. Draw cycle should be smoother, more forgiving with creep and shorter draw lengths obviously. I dropped down to a 26" draw on my CRX32 and I couldn't be happier.
