Browning Archery http://www.browning-archery.com/08_BRWN_line.php?PHPSESSID=8ed5e74a587d4323415941e3e0872452 They took the Illusion and shortened the BH by 3/4 inch, longer ATA by 1.5 inches, and made it a 318-326 IBO. They also came out with the Grand Illusion which is a hybrid of the X..........big surprise..........It does have a 7 inch brace height, 35 inch ATA, and 322-330 IBO. Fred Bear Bows http://www.beararcheryproducts.com/bows/compound/ Seems like they really stepped up to the plate this year. Hope they improved the cams..........only time will tell. Until I have solid pics and good info on the others I'll wait. Mathews and Hoyt haven't dropped their line yet. Carry on, Hutchies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhine16 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm not in the market for buying anymore, so i dont need to look . BTW- Did Bowtech keep the small grip or did they go back to the old one? When i went in to shoot the 07's, I shot two or three and then asked if all Bowtech grips were that small?(First time i had ever shot one). My bow shop guy said "No, they just changed it this year, I'm finding that most everyone doesnt like it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Bowtech looks to have some really "smoking" bows this year. Can't wait to see what Mathews and Hoyt come out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Seen the new BowTechs over on AT.I know 2 people that sold their Mathews to get a Guardian the past few months.They've really came on strong the last couple of years.A buddy of mine just bought an X-Force and it just didn't feel right to me,but it's fast.Looks like Bear is hitting the market pretty strong too.If I have the funds and can clear it through momma, I might try and pick up a new bow next spring.

hutchies Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm not sure on the grips but I can understand selling just about any bow to buy the guardian. That thing is flat out one of the best bows I have ever shot. I loved the guardian.........Wasn't big on the commander though. I hope Mathews and Hoyt stepped up cause they got some stiff, stiff competition this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Saw this on another forum. Great info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hutchies this is like showing the baby candy and not letting him have it. I traded my 03 Ex VFT for an 07 Guardian back in January --- not even a year later and I'm already thinking about letting the guardian go for a 101 or general... haha. Great info though and thank you fellow Wallhanger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Looks like some nice bows. I too can't wait to see what Hoyt comes up with....not that I'll probably be buying a new bow but fun to drool over:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thought about getting new one I was thinking about getting a new bow. I was looking at bows by BowTech. Gander Mountain's TechHunter I think, and the Diamond Black Ice. I've shot them both. They both have good back walls and are solid bows with a smooth draw. I noticed the black ice actually had some more vibration after release, however it was a stripped bow with no anti-vib. accessories. Tried Reflex bows and felt they were too heavy for my liking, but shot smooth. Yet to try Bear's the Truth or the Matthews Drenalin. The Drenalin doesn't have any draw length adjustment, without getting a new cam. That was a turn off. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
