2009 Compound Hunting Bow Evaluations ...
All,
The links below contain the introduction and initial product reviews for the 2009 Compound Hunting Bow Evaluation. The format for this year's evaluation is very similar to last year's in that individual write-ups are provided for each compound bow. The "Long-Draw" category is new for 2009 and I'm hopeful we can provide some meaningful information for those of you with longer draw lengths. Please use this thread to discuss the results, ask any questions, or provide feedback. We'd love to hear your thoughts! Regards, Anthony Barnum Archery Evolution Introduction: 2009 Compound Hunting Bow Evaluation Introduction Reports: Bear The Truth 2 - Flagship BowTech Admiral - Flagship Diamond IceMan - Flagship Hoyt AlphaMax 32 - Flagship PSE Bow Madness XL - Flagship Quest XPB - Flagship Ross Carnivore 34 - Flagship New Reports - 7/3/09 APA Innovations Mamba MX2 - Flagship Anderson Bow Company Crow XL - Flagship Darton Pro3500 - Flagship Elite Z28 - Flagship Horton Vertical Encore - Flagship Mathews Reezen 6.5 - Flagship Rytera Alien-X - Flagship GT500 w/ Cuda Cams - Short Draw Mathews McPherson Series Monster XLR8 - Speed Bow

my opinion ???
well anthony i feel a couple mathews bows should be included. especially if you do the pse bow madness,,,a reezin comparison should also be done.
if you do a monster review,,,then a pse x-force or pse omen should be done...i know the omen is a later addition,,,,but actually its only a month or two away. and as always,,,thank you for your dilligence....

If you haven'y checked out the website... www.shootlikeben.com I also second the Forge bow. I would be curious to see performance numbers on the Ventaliator... the 330/ 8.5" brace height bow. Also curious about the Athens bow: Accomplice. Just my .03$ Thanks.

Light Arrows go faster.
Quote:
Many of the new bows are just (named) brand extentions. Gander mountain is Bowtech, Quest is Elite and the list goes on. So testing the same bow with a new name is a none starter.A speed bow list would be informative as everyone is into FPS not shot placement. A better question or test might be using the Carbon Revolution arrows with .320 spines and 5+ grn/inch on bows other than High Country which is the only maker that does not void the warranty for shooting less than 5 grains per pound. Barnsdale makes High Countries limbs, are they that much better than Mathews, PSE, Bowtech, Elite, Hoyt and the rest?

darton is a good machine
Quote:
darton has alot of tecnology they farm out and i do think bowtech has some of it too. the question is more then anything else,,,,popularity,,,popularity as in sales. darton,,,elite,and alot of other bows are excellent bows,,,but they pale in comparison to a mathews,hoyt,and then pse,,,and in the last 5 years,bowtech/oregon bows. i think when you compare bows,,,you have to keep in mind that the popular bows always have those "prideful" price tags. simply look at the price of a upper end pse of mathews,,,,part near a G-note for bow alone....thats alot of $$$$ too much...darton being in the $600 range,,,is a BARGAIN !!! same with martin. alot of bow for alot less $$$$. what i am getting at is to open up these high dollar bows,,,expose them for what they are and do. in one category. then in another category,,,do a list of bows like the darton,elite,high country,pearson,martin. bows that are popular,,,yet dont sell the number of a mathews,hoyt,pse or bowtech,,,YET. remember bowtech was alsos looking up a few years back before they really exploded into a admirable company business wise. all done on sales and marketing. comparing a bow that sells for $1000 with a bow that sells for $500 DIRECTLY doesn't make sense. bows to me are like "model segments" in automobiles. compare them into segments,then determine what works best for you,,,as is done with cars... thats my opinion anyways. you'll be clearly able to see if we are overpaying for those $1000 bows versus the $500-$600 bows...which i might think we are,,,but hasn't stopped me from partaking...lol...

Bows by other names
The Gander Mountain is made by Bowtech, like most of the Bass Pro Redheads are made by Bowtech, Hoyt, Parker. The price value line is out there in the market. But just like cars, if it gores fast, operates smooth and quiet it cost more money.

Not sure if I'll get kicked for this, but could you test the 09 Elite Z28? Would love to see how it compares to the rest.
