Bowtech Prodigy Review

I've hunted with self bows, traditional bows & compound bows. Love them all. Fell down a bank while hunting with my self bow and injured my shoulder. Can't hold traditional bows at full draw. Hallalujah. The Bowtech Prodigy on comfort setting is just what the Doctor ordered. Even with my injured shoulder it's a dream to shoot. Re: compounds, I've only owned Mathews & they're good bows. But after trying out the Prodigy was converted. "It's SOLID", as my kids would say.

My first compound bow was a Bear White Tail back in 1977. I have shot and owned several different bows since then. Once I shot the Bowtech bows I was hooked. When I bought my Tribute I thought I had found the ultimate bow. Although Bowtech came out with more bows yearly they always compared them to the Tribute. I told the rep when Bowtech comes out with a bow that is so good that they can't compare it to the Tribute I might consider buying a new bow. In 2015 the rep said he had the bow for me. I shot a black Prodigy and loved it but, when he showed me his Prodigy in the Kryptek pattern I knew that was my next bow.

I have owned 3 bows. First one basic but got me hooked. Next was a mission ballistic 2013, now I bought the Chris Kyle the Legend 2015 Prodigy. With my mission I developed shoulder pain and bought a crossbow to shoot why I healed. Bought this bow no shoulder pain. On average I go to the range for 3 hours. Increased the poundage to 65. Going to eventually turn up to 70. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Would definitely recommend.

I just purchased new a Bowtech Prodigy. I am 61 years of age and of average health and condition. I mostly shoot for recreation 4 to 5 days a week. This bow has 50lb. limbs. I went to a local bow shop to try everything that they carried. I chose the Prodigy over the Hoyt Carbon Defiant and Defiant, the Prime Rize, the Mathews Halon, and the Elite Synergy. All these bows are excellent performers but the shootability and adjustability and fit to my body won me over. I shoot 4 to 5 days a week for the fun of it always striving to better myself as an archer. I also hunt on occasion. Of course what with shooting 45lbs. I have and know my range limitations. This is an easy to tune bow.

The comfort settings is silky smooth. The performance setting gives you that aggressive feel you want. The classic is the perfect mix. This bow is quiet and fast. You can have a 3D bow and a hunting bow all in one. What more do you need?

I been a compound bow hunter for 12 years, was a deicated Mathews customer. Only shot a Bowtech while helping sight in a friends bow. Was a bit taken back by the fact my friends Bowtech seemed to shoot smoother than my Mathews bows. Helium, Creed and Creed XS. I keep that to myself! I buy and sell bows as a hobby not online, just between friends. Again not wanting to admit to myself that damn Bowtech was such a great shooter, I found a Carbon Overdrive a guy needed to sell and purchased it. That said, loved it, sold my Mathews bows but just wasn't all in based on the fact I always had Mathews bows. 6 models in total. Boring, but trying to state my case! Starting looking up the Bowtech site, researched the Prodigy , found a dealer and went to the range. 1 hr later I went home with that fantastic bow. I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for, and it was pricy ,but my money has never been better spent! I finally have my bow that hit all the checks on my list. In fact I now have 3 bows in one and I can't stop being impressed on what a home run Bowtech hit. Bows and deer hunting are my passions and this bow is the REAL DEAL! If your on the fence, get off, get a Proigy, and get in the woods

Absolutely fell in love with this bow instantly. I bought the limited edition Chris Kyle tribute bow after shooting flagship bows from every manufacturer. I outfitted the bow with a QAD drop away, Viper 5 pin sights, 4 arrow Bohning quiver quiver, 3/16 peep, wrist sling and 12 inch Bee Stinger stabilizer. On the middle cam setting, at 30.5 inch and 60 pound draw I'm shooting 400 spine arrows at 305 fps. This setup is deathly quiet, and I'm shooting 4 arrow groups in a 5 inch circle at 50 yards, and all 4 arrows touching each other at 30. I spent a whopping $1700 on the whole package, but absolutely love it!

I had hunted with a compound bow for a little over 10 years, took about a 10 year break, and decided I wanted to pick up the sport again. I was totally lost on new bow capabilities, features, technology, and what was available. So, I visited a lot of archery shops, shot a lot of bows, read reviews, and spoke to others to solicit their feedback. The final contenders were the Bowtech Prodigy, Elite Synergy, Mathews NoCam HTR, Hoyt Nitrum 30, and the Prime Rival. Hands down, the Bowtech Prodigy felt the best in my hand, had the least amount of torque, and consistently delivered the most stable back wall. I was a little hesitant to shell out a significant amount of my hard earned money for a bow, but after shooting it for a couple of weeks now, I truly feel, I made a wise decision that I will not regret.

I have been a Mathews fanboy and occasional Hoyt customer for twenty years. I tried the Chill R, Creed xs, hoyt Nitrum and Carbon spyder zt. Then the shop showed me this prodigy and asked me to compare it to the others. Twenty minutes later I owned my first Bowtech. It is buttery smooth, has a very solid back wall, shoots accurately easily, and has a great finish. The power disc is not a gimmick. It really is three different bows in one but I find you will know very quickly which setting you prefer and just leave it there. One word for you hunters out there, QUIET!
