PSE Beast EXT
User rating:
out of 1 review
PSE Beast EXT Review

The Bottom Line:Simply put, the 2016 PSE Beast EXT was perfectly named. The bow matches everything shooters with a draw length out to 33-inches would want. The frame is long, the weight is heavy, the looks are aggressive, the arrows hit hard, and the customization of the cams is not something longer draw archers are... read full review

G5 Prime Rize Review

The Bottom Line:The Prime Rize is a really great hunting bow that meets the specification demands hunters have for new rigs in 2016.

Bowtech Boss Review

The Bottom Line:Bowtech hit a homerun when they came out with the Prodigy in 2014; a super smooth draw bow, lots of punch, and the technology to actually adjust the performance range of the bow. So, what did they do to step it up a little in 2015? They designed a longer ATA rig with the same concepts in the Prodigy... read full review
