The Bottom Line:The Mathews Reezen 7.0 is a fast single cam bow that needs to be properly equipped to deliver good shootability characteristics. While a bare bow could have less shock and vibration, installing silencing components help to improve shootability significantly. With its aggressive eccentric system, this... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Vendetta XL is a high quality and great shooting bow with extremely adjustable and very smooth drawing eccentric system. With a pretty solid back wall, this bow holds very well and aims easily. While a bare bow could have less vibration, when fully equipped this rig is an amazing shooter. Many experts... read full review

The Bottom Line:This is an amazingly smooth and fast bow combined. The single cam technology and engineering from Bear is continuing to climb the ladder over the past few years. It has excellent speed for a single cam bow and has very comfortable brace height creating a nice package. The Anarchy is dead in the hand... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Destroyer 350 is a very fast and great shooting rig with minimal vibration, shock, and noise at the shot. This is a lightweight and well balanced rig that has a smooth (but relatively stiff) draw cycle for a speed bow. While the eccentric system is modular-adjustable, a bow press is required to change... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Ross Cardiac is not for shooters interested in raw speed. For everyone else, this bow is a surprisingly good shooting bow. With lots of added features and bow hunters in mind, those looking at a new hunting bow should give the Cardiac a test shot. The smooth draw, shock free release from a bow... read full review

The Bottom Line:The guys at Bowtech were looking to create a rig for the hunter that was fast, quiet, and smooth. They eventually came up with the General. This bow not only met the call, but did so with no vibration or noise. With an ATA of just over 31" and a brace height of 8 1/4", this bow is accurate, fast, and... read full review

The Bottom Line:This is a great budget bow. It is the faster, smoother brother to the Strike with several improvements made. With a new grip and updated suppressers, among other changes, it has taken one of Bear's most popular bows to a new level. The single cam technology and engineering from Bear is continuing... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Bowtech 101st Airborne was put on the market for the 2008 lineup. It boasted a one-piece CNC machined aluminum riser, single-piece glass limbs, a third generation Binary Cam system, unmatched quietness, and a smooth draw. This rig does have a stiff valley to overcome to transition to let-off, but... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Siren has been field tested by women, for women, and delivering what they asked for in a cam, grip, draw cycle, and release. It is designed to work ideal in the hands of top-tier female hunters. Bear technology continues to improve like it has for the last few years now. It's speed is impressive... read full review

The smoother draw force curve combined with amazing speeds is sure to be what many shooters want to go for 2014. With tons of customization options not only for finish options, tunability options, the DNA SP is a great hunting... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Athens R120 HGO "limited edition" is a 32" axle to axle, 7" brace height, 330+fps IBO arrow flinging machine. A comfortable grip and extreme attention to detail make this the shooter that it is a deadly combination of speed, accuracy and silence. All of the great pieces that Athens put into the R120... read full review
