bowhtr1 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Check this one out. They test several great bows. http://www.pse-archery.com/video/xforce/xforce_challenge.htm I think it is time to replace my old one. It is a PSE Infinity. It still shoots great but I need to get an up to date bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? well bowhter1 you probably have heard this a lot here, but I will restate it again. Shoot what feels good to you. I can name a lot of bows, but ones that might fit me, won't fit you. Go out take the time to shoot the bows and then decide. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? bowhtr1............ If you are not a full time or very experienced shooter I would not recommend the Xforce. It has a very short Brace Height and very short Axle to Axle. This bow is fast but going to be very critical of your form. The brace height is like 6 inches and the ATA I think was 33. If you are set on this bow then congrats but it is not going to be very forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDMAworks4me Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? I have a new Drenalin and really love it. I would sugget shooting a lot of bows and pick the one that fits you the best. I would definitly go to a mathews dealer and see what they have to offer before buying a bow.

bowhtr1 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? I have a little experience, I have shot over 30 deer with bows. I started at the age of 18 and I am now 45. I have tried several bows including the Mathews switchback. I have not had the chance the try the xforce yet but if the archery shop has one I will today. Most of the bows feel good to shoot and pull back. I cant say one feels better than the other. The reason could be that my old bow is so bad that anything new feels good. When all of these companys get this good I think it will have to be some other reasons to buy from them. Thats why I am looking for speed. Some things people dont talk about much but mean alot to me is how far above the line of sight a arrow has to go to hit the target. You can have limbs, and we do, that can get in your way and you dont even see them in your line of sight so you take the shot only to smack a small limb that causes a bad shot or miss. I dont like that, we hunt in very thick woods and clear shots are not ever made. You are shooting through a small hole or lane. If you cut the lane to much the deer avoid it. Even if you cut the lane a year in advance. Speed is the only thing that helps this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emt4everBOWHUNTER Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? Don't settle. Make sure that you wiegh all of your options. A higher price doesn't really mean that it is a better bow these days. Its God's green Earth! Lets keep it that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? I'd say you need to clear some areas and put in some food plots. The deer will not avoid food. I don't like the idea of trying to squeeze a shot though a tiny hole all of the time. If your bow is old then most of the new bows are probably faster than what you have. I personally check the grip of a bow first, if that feels good then I'll pull it back and shoot it a few times.

bowhtr1 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? I have food plots all over and I only hunt one stand one time each week. I have about 12 stand sites so I only hunt 3 to 4 in a weekend and never do I hunt one more than twice in a weeekend. Only the doe's come out in the food plots in daylight. the bucks stay back in the thicket. Thats my problem. I have little openings from my stand for a shot in several directions. I dont take iffy shots. Out of my 30+ deer I have only lost about 3 that I found blood. I have missed a few. lol. As I said before all the new bows feel good to me to pull back and shoot. I keep getting the ditto when I have done this already. I have not pull the xforce yet. That may change my mind. I was hoping someone had one or had some info other than what is on the PSE site.

wtnhunt Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? Will be shooting my 2001 model pse fireflight 33 as long as it lasts. Not the latest and greatest, but with the way it is setup, works for me. Guess for some a new bow every year is ok, or even a new bow when you think you need it is ok, just have never felt the need myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: Thinking of a new bow. What do you think? I just noticed what hutchies said about the brace height. I shoot a PSE Firestorm lite and love the shorter bow but, i still have I believe a 8 1/4 inch brace height on mine. A 6" Brace height is pretty small and will require a lot more practice i'm sure. It does look like a pretty sweet bow, it just probably isn't as forgiving as a bow with a larger brace height. JMO If you decide to get one let me know how it shoots!!
