Turkeygirl Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 When it comes time for you to get a new bow...what do you think it might? I know my Hoyt Rintec XL is only 2 years old, though already maxed out in poundage basically, so when it comes time, I'll probably get a bow in the 50-60 pound range and a draw length of more like 25.5"...i think 26" was just slightly long. I was thinking about it the other day and I think I would either stay with Hoyt...but avoid the cam and a 1/2...or go with a Matthews or maybe even something like a Bowtech....who knows....I won't know till that time comes,lol. So what about you guys...what's your next bow gonna be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTSIDER Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Like always i will go to my local shop, pick up a few different bows, have the archery pro set up a different models from different companies and then I shoot them. I like a long bow, so I don't even bother shooting bows less than 33 inches axle to axle. Then after shooting them, i slowly narrow them down. For the past 6 years its always come down to Bowtech, but I did like a few Hoyts that I have shot. I currently shoot a Bowtech Commander, when it quits killing deer, i will quit shooting it.

Hillbilly Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 My dad turned my old PSE Fitzgerald into a nice bow fishing rig. Took his first carp with it on the first try, 10lb carp to be exact. Anyways I cannot shoot a bow this fall cause of recent surgery, but will get one next year. Might buy my buddy's Mathews LX, or might go with a brand new Hoyt or Bowtech. I have looked on the websites of the Bowtech 101st Airborne or the Hoyt's Super Hawk. But I got some time to decide.

Chrud Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 It'll be a few more years before I purchase a new bow. But when that time comes it'll be another Mathews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyt03 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I updated from my 03 cam 1/2 to the Vectrix and let me say it was a worl of a difference. Newer hoyts are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm not fixing what is not broken...I've looked at some of the new bows and thier prices but could not become dissatisfied with my "Honey". The Bow in the pic below was chosen based on the amount of money I had to spend at the time of purchase and getting the most features that money would afford.

JimPic Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Either another Shafer recurve or another Black Widow longbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Im really leaning toward a black ice. However, as long as ive been hunting I have NEVER shot a Mathew's. With the press they are getting I have to pick one up before I purchase a black ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Being my Bears Paw Bow T/D longbow just got here about a month ago. Not looking at anything new in the near or extended future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I currently shoot a Jennings Trophymaster and it shoots really good. I was looking at the Bear Lights Out but I can't justify it when my bow is shooting so good and no problems. I've heard good things about that bow though.

Sambar Hunter Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thats a tough question, maybe the PSE dream season, Matthews DXT or dead zone by Limbsaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I was going to buy the DXT, but I think I'll wait to see what Mathews has up their sleeves for 2009. Then I'll make my decision. Gonna shoot my Outback one more season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighoytman Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 what will your next bow be Well I have owned several of Mathews.I Loved my Hoyt cam and half (razor tech).I have heard alot of talk about these two companies.I Bought a new bow in March it is a Pearson Z32.This little single cam bow with a 7 brace height is smooth as silk.It comes with it's own stabilizer, very quite,Angle wing grips, Vapor trail strings, string X's, Barnes dale limbs.The bow weights 3.9 pounds bare.I get 302 fps out of my set up at 70 pounds 29 inch draw.I got this bow brand new not used for $350.00 bucks.The new bows this year come with Binary cams for the speed junkies.Alot of these smaller bow companies have alot to offer for alot less money if your looking to save some money.Try one of these bows might just surprise you.

maytom Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 It'll be a few more years before I purchase a new bow. But when that time comes it'll be another Mathews. Ditto!!!! My first Mathew's bow was their Ultra-Light, and I shot that bow for 9 seasons before finally up-grading in the fall of 2005 to their Switchback model. It'll be a few years before doing another up-grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well, they don't make Newberry's anymore so I guess I would have to find another that would fit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldreloader Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Im really leaning toward a black ice. However, as long as ive been hunting I have NEVER shot a Mathew's. With the press they are getting I have to pick one up before I purchase a black ice. Be careful. I did that and sold a 1 year old Bear Element and bought a Mathews S2 (after refusing to even shoot a Mathews since they came out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deerchica Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well, just got my first new bow today. Thought I was just going to use my son's Browning since he needs a new bow, but ended up buying a Damond Edge. Its perfect for me sicne this is my first bow. I was torn between a Hoyt Reflex and the Edge and chose the Edge, mainly because it was half the price, but if felt better with my small frame.
