Bear Kuma LD

Bear Kuma LD Review

The Bottom Line:The Kuma LD has everything shooters could possibly want in a long draw bow. The 330 feet per second is fine enough, the axel-to-axel measurement is long enough to be accommodating and short enough to be maneuverable, the 6.5-inch brace height is a mixture of forgiveness and performance, and the feel... read full review

Bowtech Reign 6 Review

The Bottom Line:The Regin 6 is a great shooting bow. It has a premium suggested price tag of a $1099, but keep in mind that number is comparable with other flagship model bows on the market for 2017 from giant companies like Bowtech. The Reign offers a great deal of tinkering for shooters that like to play with their... read full review

Bear LS2 Review

The Bottom Line:Bear has done it again producing a great performing bow, in a package deal, for only $550. 320 feet per second is a bit slow, but the easy draw cycle and solid hold on target is well worth the slower arrow for some shooters. 80% let off feels amazing with this rig, and the balance of the bow on target... read full review

Bear LS4 Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear LS 4 does not have all of the latest technology created by Bear engineers for 2017. It also does not have anything that is brand new to the archery world or that will be highlighted on the cover of a magazine. However, the Bear LS 4 does everything shooters want it to. It has high let off in... read full review

PSE Phenom XT Review

The Bottom Line:The Phenom XT is a great offering to the target community. Archers just getting started with target shooting may be a bit overwhelmed and sticker shocked to see what some high-end target models sell for. The Phenom XT shoots exceptionally well, and has a suggested retail of only $699, which is less than... read full review

PSE Carbon Air 32 ECS Review

The Bottom Line:The Carbon Air 32 ECS is the ultimate carbon riser hunting bow from PSE. It is lightweight, compact, high performing, easy to shoot, and packed with the latest technology PSE has to offer. Everything about this bow is great for those on the market for a hunting bow. However, the price tag is massive,... read full review

PSE Phenom SD Review

The Bottom Line:The Phenom SD should appeal to a lot of shooters on the market for a target bow. Shooters with a limited budget, weaker shoulders, or short draw folks should really give this bow an honest look. It lacks some of the technology PSE has to offer for 2017, but nothing about the bow feels like a budget bow,... read full review

PSE Xpedite Review

The Bottom Line:Speed sells, and when packaged with such great features like the Xpedite, it should be even easier to sell. 360 feet per second is marketable to a large audience of hunters, and 360 feet per second with the Evolve Cam System is marketable to even more than speed freaks. This cam draws super smooth, has... read full review

Elite Ritual Review

The Bottom Line:The Ritual is Elite's attempt at pulling all their most popular technologies over the years together into one package. When Elite started the shootability challenge, and started winning over a large number of shooters, this feeling is what people loved the most. The Ritual's draw cycle is exactly why... read full review

Diamond Infinite Edge Pro

Diamond Infinite Edge Pro Review

The Bottom Line:The Infinite Edge Pro came back for a reason: it does one thing better than almost anything at its price, and that is stretch to fit whoever picks it up. The 2026 Legacy edition keeps the formula - 13 to 31 inches of draw, 5 to 65 pounds, an 80-percent let-off and a smooth, quiet shot - and wraps it... read full review

Bowtech Realm X Review

The Bottom Line:It is getting harder and harder to find faults with bows made in 2018. Everything Bowtech offers in the Realm X is customizable, making it one of the most unique rigs on the market. Anything shooters can have a personal preference with is customizable, and that makes the Realm X very competitive in the... read full review

PSE Carbon Air Stealth EC Review

The Bottom Line:This is a great bow, and will win over a ton of faithful followers after getting a chance to spend some time on the range with one. The largest downside to the Carbon Air Stealth is going to be the $1500 price tag. Is it worth the extra money? For some shooters, it absolutely will be. Unfortunately,... read full review

Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-1 Review

The Bottom Line:Hoyt says the REDWRX badge is a new indicator of the best they have to offer. The new RX-1 has gone through a significant amount of research and development, and has withstood Hoyt's 1500 dry fire tests and a million draw cycles. This durability should instill a great amount of confidence in potential... read full review

Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-1 Ultra Review

The Bottom Line:The Ultra reverts back to when Hoyt produced 35-inch axel-to-axel flagship hunting bows. The upgrades for the 2018 calendar year gives shooters the sense that every single component of the bow is well thought out and properly executed. The draw is outstanding, and the new cam system is without a doubt... read full review

Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-1 Turbo Review

The Bottom Line:The REDWRX series is the stamp of approval from Hoyt meaning the bow is the best of everything Hoyt has to offer. The RX-1 Turbo is the speed demon of the new series, and an ATA rating of 350 feet per second places the Hoyt among many of the fastest bows on the market, especially considering the higher... read full review

Bear Sole Intent Review

The Bottom Line:The Sole Intent is geared towards shooters with a shorter draw length in the 22-27-inch range. The silky smooth draw cycle of the single cam system on the Sole Intent is outstandingly smooth and easy to manage from the start of the draw cycle to the arrow release. Along with the limited draw length comes... 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

Hoyt HyperForce Review

The Bottom Line:The Hyperforce is great!

It is disappointing to see Hoyt seemingly moving away from aluminum risers with the 2018 model year. In the... read full review
