PSE Verge
User rating:
out of 2 reviews
PSE Verge Review

The Bottom Line:The Verge coupled with the Mini Drive cams make this bow a perfect rig for a combination of smooth and powerful. There are not many bows designed for shorter draw shooters, but the Verge is and it does a nice job adding performance to the draw length segment of 22-27-inches. With easy adjustment, and... read full review

Elite Spirit Review

The Bottom Line:For Elite's first production at a women's bow, the Spirit is a really well engineered piece of equipment that truly can do it all. The longer brace height and axel-to-axel measurement along with decent speed and a fabulous draw cycle make the Spirit a bow that can be owned for a very long time. The... read full review

Obsession Sniper GT

Obsession Sniper GT Review

The Bottom Line:The Obsession Sniper GT is a redesign of an older platform. The changes include wider limb pockets, a machined cable slide, and slightly bigger cams that provide a smooth draw and give the shooter plenty of speed at 340 fps. The short ATA (30 inches) will be perfect in any tree stand or ground blind... read full review

Elite Impression Review

The Bottom Line:The Impression is a nice looking bow, which shoots very well. For female shooters, the Impression offers all the technology and desirable specifications desired for every style of archery. The $999 price tag is acceptable for female shooters wanting a bow that can do it all, with some of the best technology... read full review

Bowtech Carbon Rose

out of 4 reviews
Bowtech Carbon Rose Review

The Bottom Line:From some experience to a long time archery veteran this bow is ideal for the female hunter. It is the lightest women's bow available with its' forged carbon composite riser and it is all around solid in every category. This bow is designed for women shooters who want more than just a youth bow with... read full review

User rating:
out of 5 reviews
Bear Venue Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Venue is the only higher end single cam offering from Bear, although its performance is similar to some of their dual cam models. The feel of the Venue is great, and the performance is acceptable for a big game hunting bow. The $849 price tag may be too steep for some, considering this price... read full review

Strother Eternal Review

The Bottom Line:The Eternal is a good bow without any extra bells and whistles. It serves its' purpose and doesn't have a lot of speed although is seems to shoot well along with being comfortable. The brace height is generous. It has a quiet shot without a lot of vibration. The bow is built well with easy adjustments... read full review

Diamond Instigator Review

The Bottom Line:The Diamond Instigator is designed in a way that allows the entire family to use it with only minor adjustments that can be done at home. Ideally, the budget friendly Instigator would be purchased for a younger shooter that has a lot of growing left to do. With tons of available adjustments for draw... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Diamond Sub-Atomic is a bow designed with simplicity in mind. When getting new shooters involved in archery, it is important to allow them to be successful.

Mathews No Cam HTR Review

The Bottom Line:The No Cam is a rather large transition from the type of bow Mathews has produced in their solocam lineup in the past. Mathews decided to go back to the drawing board for a complete simplification of everything they have done the past few years. Some will appreciate the engineering that went into producing... read full review

Bear Cruzer Review

The Bottom Line:Those looking for the adjustment of the Bear Cruzer elsewhere will have difficulty finding it. The draw length range is a massive 18-inches, and the limbs can be adjusted for 65-pounds. This bow will fit just about anyone, and coming in with a ready to hunt package for a low price of $399 makes the... read full review

Mathews Halon 32 7 Review

The Bottom Line:The Halon 32 with a 7-inch brace height shoots great, feels awesome, and should be a great bow on the 3D course or in the woods. There is not much new about the Halon 32, but the 2-inch extension in the axel-to-axel measurement is a highly anticipated design move for Mathews. Although two-inches does... read full review

Bear Rumor Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Rumor is the new in the Bear lineup for 2014. It is marketed as a high-end, high-performance rig specifically for the ladies. It is smooth, quiet, and accurate, and will please all the lady archers. With a 30 1/4" ATA, 6.5" brace height, and a mere 3.6 pounds, this rig will follow the female... read full review

PSE Xpression 3D Review

The Bottom Line:3D archery is becoming more intense every year in regards to competition and the folks working to fine tune their skills are getting better and better.

Whisper Creek Phantom Review

The Bottom Line:Whisper Creek Archery may not have many bows on the market, but the ones produced are noticeably created with time and a high attention to detail, especially significant with their Phantom for 2008. Although the strings may need replacement after a year or two of constant use and it may be slower than... read full review

Diamond Kronik XT Review

The Bottom Line:For an accessorized bow with a price under $400, it is hard to find anything wrong with the Kronik XT. It is not an industry leader in any category, but it does most things very well. The minor issues with the bow fall under personal preference, and what some do not like others will love. With a forgiving... read full review

Mathews Monster Wake Review

The Bottom Line:The Mathews Monster Wake has the specifications many shooters dream of. The longer 35-inch axel to axel measurement with the slightly reflexed riser measuring at a little over 32-inches, the Wake has a lot of potential to win the hearts of many archers. Combined with the speed of the AVS cams, and... read full review

PSE Carbon Air Review

The Bottom Line:The Carbon Air is not the first carbon bow from PSE, but it is the most recent, and probably the only known carbon bow from PSE. Many shooters on the market today would have no recollection of the 1996 PSE carbon design, but it is fair to mention PSE is not just joining the party in regards to the benefits.... read full review

Hoyt Defiant 34 Review

The Bottom Line:The Defiant 34 returns shooters to the feel of a longer axel-to-axel measurement bow with the convenience of a shorter measurement. It was not long ago the archery industry was full of 37-40-inch bows marketed for treestand hunting. Trends pushing toward shorter axel-to-axel bows have finally joined... read full review

Bowtech Prodigy Review

The Bottom Line:The 2015 Bowtech Prodigy is becoming a popular bow for the serious archers. At first glance, it appears to be "just another speed bow," but at closer look, the first thing one will notice is the gold gear in the cams. Then you are forced to take a closer look.
