cray8705 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Anyone who doesnt get the Bowhunter Magazine would probably find their rankings of the new 2011 bows pretty interesting; 1. Alpine F1 Fireball 2. APA Viper V7 3. Athens Afflixtion 4. Bear Carnage 5. BowTech Invasion CPX 6. Darton DS-3800 7. Diamond Deadeye 8. Elite Hunter 9. Hoyt Carbon Element 10. Limbsaver Proton It doesn't say for sure anywhere in the article what they use for their rankings, but it appears they go by performance first and price second. They list a top 20 but i didnt feel like typing them all. I thought it was worth noting how far down Hoyt was on their list and the Mathews Z7 Extreme came in at no.12.

HUNTINGMAN Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Pretty interesting list, it doesn't surprise me about the z7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrich Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Meh... Nice looking bows, but I think I'll stick to my AM32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 These can be taken with a grain of salt because it's all subjective, but I can say that I've been saying that the z7 is worthless, but the mathews cult wants to argue otherwise. Just incase you doubt me, shoot the darn bow blindfolded at a shop with other bows and i promise you don't pick that one as the top bow!

HUNTINGMAN Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am a mathews man but i wouldnt buy one if I was in the market for a new bow. I think the switchback XT was the last great bow they made,I said great even though they have made good bows since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just incase you doubt me, shoot the darn bow blindfolded at a shop with other bows and i promise you don't pick that one as the top bow! Eh, to each his own I guess. I shot it and bought one last October. I went in with the intentions of buying an Elite z28, after shooting both I walked out with a z7 (regular z7, not extreme). The Elite was really nice, but for me the z7 felt a tad bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray8705 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I didnt even realize about the alphabetical order, but it definitely is. When you look at the article at first it makes it seem like they are ranking the top 20 bows, rather it is just a group of the best 20 bows available. Nice pick up though.
