Bowtech Insanity CPX Review

The Bottom Line: The Insanity CPX combines their fast shooting technology from the Destroyer 350 with the popular Center Pivot limb technology to create a fast shooting shock free bow. There is not a lot to dislike about this bow other than the potential finish issues from the past, which have not impact on how great the bow shoots. However, for the money, the bow should not have any finish flaws. The great news is that the finish has been updated from that of year's past, so only time will tell if the new finish has cured the peeling issues. Regardless, the Insanity CPX is a great shooting bow that offers fast speeds, a smooth draw and solid back wall, with a dead in the hand release. Shooters interested in a speed bow should add the Insanity CPX to their list of bows to try out...read full review

Bowtech Insanity CPXL Review

The Bottom Line: The Bowtech Insanity CPXL uses a lot of Bowtech engineering to create a nice shooting bow. Offering a 7-inch brace height, a 35-inch axel-to axel measurement, and IBO speeds up to 340 feet per second, the CPXL is a great bow sure to appeal to a lot of shooters. It appears that Bowtech has addressed the finish issues this year, but only time will tell if the finish will withstand everyday use. For shooters on a strict budget, the suggested retail price of $1049 may be tough to manage. However, shooters interested in a multipurpose bow that draws smooth and shoots well, the CPXL would be a great on to add to the wish list...read full review

Bowtech Assassin Review

The Bottom Line: Designed with proven Bowtech technologies and equipped with a very attractive ready-to-shoot package, the Bowtech Assassin is a good shooting hunting bow at a very affordable price. With an extremely flexible eccentric system, the draw length on the Assassin can be easily adjusted without using a bow press or any extra cams or modules. In addition, the performance system is designed to be equipped with either smooth or fast rotating module thus allowing for choosing the right combination of smoothness and speed. While some shooters can feel a little hump closer to the end of the draw cycle, others either don't feel it for their setups or say it's not pronounced. The Assassin has a pretty good valley and extremely solid back wall. While the Assassin is a very good hunting bow for beginners, it will also be a great choice for advanced shooters who want to save money. Overall, the Assassin is one of the best bows for the money in 2011...read full review

Bowtech Invasion CPX Review

The Bottom Line: The BowTech Invasion CPX really is a flagship bow. It truly stands alone with a very impressive design by combining the speed and quiet nature comparable to the 2010 Destroyer Series and the shootability of any of BowTech's Center Pivot models packed into a short axle to axle bow of just over 31". Although probably not for a beginner, an intermediate archer could quickly adapt to the benefits of the accurate, stable and forgiving riser design. Any archer drawing above or below 28" could comfortably shoot this bow due to its 7" brace height. The combination of the speed, shootibility and, remarkable long range accuracy not normally found in a short bow will make the Invasion CPX stand out in the hunting world, but also may end up in the hands of some 3-D shooters as well...read full review

Bowtech Specialist Review

The Bottom Line: The Bowtech Specialist is a very high performance up and coming target bow. A long axle to axle, a good brace height and great IBO speed are all ingredients that make a great target bow that is very forgiving and capable of competing with some of the top target bows of the world. The Specialist uses a binary cam system making it a smooth drawing bow that is easy to adjust and has virtually no timing issues. Tuning may need to be done by a professional but once it is set up there should be no problems keeping it that way. With a number of color options to choose from, it's a bow that can look good while putting great numbers up on the score card...read full review

Bowtech Destroyer 350 Review

The Bottom Line: The Destroyer 350 is a very fast and great shooting rig with minimal vibration, shock, and noise at the shot. This is a lightweight and well balanced rig that has a smooth (but relatively stiff) draw cycle for a speed bow. While the eccentric system is modular-adjustable, a bow press is required to change the draw length. Due to its aggressive styling, the Destroyer 350 is probably not the best choice for beginners (unless beginners are happy to put the time and effort into learning how to shoot this bow well). On the other hand, this bow is a great choice for experienced shooters who like top quality speed rigs with great performance and without noise...read full review

This lightweight and well balanced bow has a smooth (but relatively stiff) draw cycle for a speed bow. While the eccentric system is modular-adjustable, a bow press is needed to adjust the draw length. Although this is not the best bow for beginners (unless you are willing to put the time and effort into learning how to shoot this rig well), the Destroyer 340 is a great choice for average and experienced shooters who like quality rigs with great performance and aggressive styling...read full review

Bowtech Air Raid Review

The Bottom Line: The Air Raid is a very solid and great shooting bow when tuned properly. The unique rotating module cam system design makes it possible to adjust the draw length without using a bow press or changing cams/modules. Although this is not the most lightweight bow out there, this rig is very stable. Overall, this is a great all-around bow for those shooters who like a good balance of speed and forgiveness...read full review

Bowtech Brigadier Review

The Bottom Line: The Brigadier took the reigns as the target bow for Bowtech in 2009 and has everything that a shooter is looking for; if they aren't looking for a rocket ship. This is a high end, high performance competition target bow released to replace the late and great Bowtech Constitution. With a great brace height and a long axle to axle make for a very forgiving target bow. With some pretty unique color options this bow is a real head turner (Especially the Testarossa). To go along with being a very forgiving bow this is also a bow that is very steady and it has next to no recoil; it's practically dead in the hand after release, even though it may not be whisper quiet. The equipment that Bowtech put on this bow all come together to make a complete target package that stacks up against some of the most winning bow companies in the business...read full review

Bowtech Allegiance Review

The Bottom Line: The Bowtech Allegiance is a high quality all around bow with an easily adjustable shooting style. Each Allegiance bow is available in smooth or fast modules to deliver extremely smooth draw cycle or faster speeds. In addition, the let-off can be adjusted easily from 65% to 80%. No bow press is required to change the draw length or adjust the let-off. When it comes to shootability, the bow has a smooth draw cycle and is pretty quiet on the shot even with the speed modules. Ideal for hunting, the Allegiance can also be used successfully for 3D shooting and indoor competitions...read full review
