Mission bow Reviews

The Bottom Line: It is hard to not get excited about the Mission Craze when looking at the design. The bow, retailing for just under $300, shoots well, has lots of adjustability, looks like a high end bow with the reflexed cut out riser, parallel limb design, and the flawless Lost Camo AT. Mission does offer three different packages of accessories based on price of accessories; the Pro Hunter, the Bow Hunter and Basic. Any of these packages can be purchased separately for the Craze. The bow would be ideal for any young archer as the bow could grow the archer into adulthood due the adjustability in both draw length and draw weight. The Craze could also benefit any new archer who wants some shootability at a very affordable price. It is difficult to find any real flaws with the Craze due to the simplicity of the bow, how it shoots and the price of this model. The Craze, like many of the other Mission models, is an outstanding bow for the money...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Voyager XT is the most expensive bow made by Mission to date. With that being said, it has a lot of high-end features not available on many of today's budget bows. With Mission's longest available axel-to-axel measurement, a forgiving brace height, more adjustable limbs, and draw lengths ranging from 26- 31.5 inches, the Voyager has a lot to offer a lot of people. The biggest downfall seems to be the price, which is stuck between the most expensive budget bow and the least inexpensive high-end bow. The Voyager was designed with all types of shooting in mind. Those who want a dual purpose bow for hunting in the fall and competition in the winter and summer may have a great option available to them in the Mission Voyager XT...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Endeavor is a wonderful bow with an even better price. Sporting a popular short axel-to-axel measurement of 30.25 inches and a brace height of 7.125 inches, the Endeavor has a lot to offer potential shooters. With IBO speeds reaching 316 feet per second, the Endeavor is not the fastest single cam bow on the market. However, for those looking for a smooth shooting hunting rig, this is a great option. With draw length adjustability from 24-30 inches, and new limb pockets allowing for larger draw weight ranges, the shooting needs and styles of most shooters can be addressed with the Mission Endeavor. For those shooters on a tight budget, the Endeavor is hard to overlook. Although it may attract entry-level hunters due to such a low price, experienced shooters will also benefit from the large range of adjustability offered by the Endeavor...read full review

The Bottom Line: Overall, those who enjoyed the original Eliminator or Mathews DXT are going to appreciate the changes made resulting in the Eliminator 2. Those shooters demanding more speed and less vibration will find Eliminator II more suitable. Longer draw shooters often report a dislike of short axel-to-axel bows. However, if you are in the market for a short axel-to-axel hunting bow at a great price, the Mission Eliminator 2 may be the bow for you. The short parallel limb design hunting rig offers respectable speed and a variety of higher end options including: a rear stabilizer mounting hole and a Harmonic Dampener option. Choosing from one of the available factory accessory packages will give shooters a great set up for the same price as a higher end bare bow model. Although longer draw shooters normally avoid short axel-to-axel bows because of the string angle, those short to medium draw shooters looking for a maneuverable hunting bow may have found an inexpensive option...read full review

The Bottom Line: Before dropping big bucks and paying for a name, take a look at the Mission BX1 which is made by Mathews, one of the biggest names in archery. From the target to the field, the BX1 will deliver the performance demanded by all levels or archers from hunters to state champions. Most adult shooters will be able to use a BX1 since the draw length and weight ranges are appropriate for most...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Eliminator has a lot to offer treestand or ground blind hunters at a price that is very appealing. The short axel-to-axel parallel limb design bow offers enough speed and kinetic energy for a variety of big game species with a forgiving brace height and a wide range of adjustability. The Mission Eliminator offers a limited amount of hand shock and is virtually silent after the arrow has been shot making it a fun bow to shoot. With the availability of factory accessory packages, a completely accessorized Eliminator may be the same price as a higher end bare bow. It is not the fastest short axel-to-axel bow available, but for many shooters, the price will more than make up for the lack of speed. For those looking to purchase a new hunting bow, the Mission Eliminator may be a great option...read full review

The Bottom Line: Shooters looking for an extremely forgiving brace height of 7.5 inches combined with a smooth drawing perimeter weighted single cam capable of reaching 316 fps will be happy to try out the Mission Buckmasters bow. This rig offers a large range of draw weight adjustability ranging from 40-80 pounds. Draw length is very adjustable as well, available in half-inch increments from 25 inches to 30 inches. On the downside, cams need to be switched out in order to adjust the draw length at an authorized Mission retailer. Despite the strategically placed CNC machined cut outs, the Buckmasters bow still weighs in a bit on the heavy side at 4.24 pounds. The price is the highest in the Mission line but still offers a great value for those interested in a hunting bow with a lot of high-end features...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Mission Journey is a great shooting bow that can be found for a very reasonable price and would make a great bow for any level archer. The Mathews Switchback XT is often mentioned as the best Mathews ever made, and the Mission Journey is nearly the same bow with a different name. The short axle-to-axle makes it ideal for hunting while the 315 fps IBO speed ensures that it is fast enough to take down big game...read full review

The Bottom Line: The Mission X3 is a nice shooting bow at an affordable price that can be appreciated by new archers and veteran shooters, alike. Producing speeds up to 310 fps with a silky smooth draw, this bow will be a pleasure to shoot. There are better options out there for young growing shooters, since a cam change is required to change the draw length. If price is on your mind when shopping for a bow, consider the Mission X3. With the money you can save on initial price, you will be able to deck it out with nice accessories before even meeting the price of a bare top of the line bow...read full review
