Mathews Monster Safari Review

The Bottom Line:This is the most valuable bow ever made by Mathews and it has the assets to prove it.The AVS cam system, the Honeycomb Core Technology throughout, and the AfricanWood Inlays are the biggest differences that gives the Safari its value.

Mathews Stoke Review

The Bottom Line:The Stoke is one of the most feature packed youth bows on the market. It literally has the flagship Mathews Crosscentric cam system as the driving force of the rig, and the rest of the bow fits the bill of being a high-end adult hunting bow. The $999 price tag is high end as well, but considering the... read full review

Mathews VXR 31.5 Review

The Bottom Line:Mathews has created another legendary hunting bow with the VXR platform, and the 31.5 has the potential to be the favorite of the two models offered for 2020. The slightly longer axle-to-axle measurement, and the amazingly long riser length make the VXR 31.5 one of the most compact, stable bows ever... read full review

Bowtech Reckoning 38 Review

The Bottom Line:The BowTech Reckoning 38 is an awesome bow, with possibly the most and easiest adjustments ever designed into a compound bow. Any archer will appreciate the level of customization the 38 allows for, but the ease of making the adjustments is probably the best feature. No bow press, no fancy tools, just... read full review

PSE Brute NXT Review

The Bottom Line:For $499, or $599 fully rigged, the Brute NXT and its binary cam system may be one of the best values in the PSE lineup, which is admittedly pretty competitive in the value offerings. This bow has 7.5-inches of draw length adjustment, and 35-pounds of draw weight without needing a bow press. The color... read full review

Bowtech BT-Mag X Review

The Bottom Line:Bowtech has taken the longer draw bow market to a new level producing the BT-Mag X. They took everything they do well on the flagship models and extended it to a larger framed bow for larger framed shooters. Often times, this segment of archery has a limited number of options to choose from, and even... read full review

Diamond Deploy Review

The Bottom Line:The Diamond Deploy SB is a new bow built on an old platform; the Knight riser. The new limbs and cams provide plenty of speed (330 fps) and accuracy, draw length adjustability (27" - 30.5"), and an overall draw weight range from 40# - 70#. With a respectable price point of $650 for the base bow and $750... read full review

Diamond Infinite Edge Pro Review

Diamond Atomic Review

The Bottom Line:For a starter bow, the Atomic is a hard one to beat. Archery is a wonderful sport, and part of the experience is passing the tradition on to others.

The Bottom Line:PSE has done an outstanding job with the Carbon Air Stealth Mach 1 for 2020, by improving every single cricritiquetic shooters of the previous Carbon Air Stealth model had.

Hoyt Invicta 40 DCX Review

The Bottom Line:Hoyt has really hit a homeroom for shooters wanting a 40-inch axle-to-axle target bow. Everything about this, and the redesigned components was done to create the best, most accurate shooting platform possible. However, the price is borderline offensive with a bare bow price of $1899.

The Bottom Line:The Bear Divergent EKO is a limited frills hunting bow, which does everything it is designed to do.
