Have no experience with modern compounds and everything that goes with it. Like drop away rest, adjustable sights, peep, D loops and hand releases. So I can't compare any bow against each other to have an informed opinion. At least not an credible one. I did visit an Archery shop where they set me up and helped me shoot a Mission, and a couple Hoyt bows. The last one, an RX7. Thought all 3 performed well, but I'm just drawing and pulling a trigger with nothing dialed in with peep or sights. So honestly, I couldn't tell if one bow was better then another.
My background is traditional bows for the past 30 years, having shot older compounds with fingers in the 80's. As I get older, I've realized if I still intend to hunt, moving back to compounds would help with accuracy when shooting at live game.
Overall, I did like the RX7. Even though I have shot very few bows to compare with. I'm in shock over the $1900 for just the bow. Is the RX7 worth the cost? Does the RX7 really shoot better then other bows? Or is this more about reducing weight without giving up performance.
I'm not against spending that amount, I just don't know if I need to, to have a good shooting bow. Thinking it would be helpful to understand why you choose an RX7 over other bows.
Much appreciated!!
