Got the fever to buy a new bow almost dead set on a bow tech 82nd for the speed. just wondering what all the other member shoot/ like

Can't help you on either of those two, but here is a website with alot of info on bow selections/terminology etc. You might also want to check out Diamond bows by Bowtech. I'm not sure of the model comparison there but I believe the Diamonds are chaeper. I shoot a 14 year old Proline myself.

I have been shooting tournaments and hunting for about 18 years. I have used Browning, High country, and Matthews. All Major companies produce good products. I am presently shooting my second Matthews. I have looked at the Bowtechs and they seem to be a solid well made bow. After trying many brands and cams, I prefer the single cam. It is easier to tune and keep tuned.

Just bought a new DXT, and wow, what a bow. My old Legacy was nice, but the DXT is fast, light, and extremely quite. Single cam bows are a lot simpler and smoother I think. Mathews warranty's are awesome too. I shot a Bowtech and it was louder and wasn't as forgiving, but they shoot faster too. I think they're a good bow to though.

I have always used Martin. I need to get mine out it has been a while. Whats the opinion on a new string, mine has been sitting for about 1 1/2 years without a shot.

I'm shooting an Elite GTO right now and am real happy with. You just have to play with all you can and pick which one feels and shoots best.

 

[CB HUNTER]

I've been bowhunting for 30 years and it seems like I have own every brand there is. BY far there is not a Bow out there better than a Mathews. trust me spend the money, Its worth it. Bow-tech in my opinion is second best to Mathews. Bow-Tech Bows are loud for Hunting, You will need to tweak the noise. I shoot everyday with a neighbor that has a Diamond and we have finally got it to quiet down, after a lot of work.

My opinion is strickly Hunting, Not Target shooting or competition. And of course its just a opinion just like others that might disagree with me. Good Luck!

I just purchased a BowTech TomKat. It replaced an OLD Fred Bear. There are better ones out there, but this one will do EVERYTHING I need it to do. I had actually commited to buy a new DXT, but saw one with a broken limb... Kinda scared me away from that. The web-site that PSU-CE posted is actually a VARY good site. Has alot of un-biased information. JMO.

I use a Bowtech Extreme VFT. Great bow: fast and quiet. Not much more you can ask for.
