Compound Bow Comparator

The Charger is a wonderful performing bow, and for the price it is hard to beat. This bow performs like a much higher end model and those thinking it is an introductory level bow are mistaken. Please do not let the price of the Charger fool you into thinking it is not a worthy option. With tons of customization, the Charger matches what many shooters are looking for in a compact, forgiving, lightweight hunting bow. Shooters interested in what Hoyt has to offer for 2013 should give the Charger a test shot. Although it may not be the bow for everyone, shooters wallets will thank them if it happens to be. The ready to shoot package is also a great option for shooters who just want to get out and start shooting. Read full review...

The name says it all, Brute. This bow is a great hunting bow especially if you are on a budget. The incredibly smooth draw and very forgiving brace height make this bow easy to shoot accurately. It is also virtually vibration free, giving it the feel of a much higher priced bow. It is hard to find anything wrong with this bow especially at its price point but that, in fact may be its down fall. Priced at such a low point, the Brute may actually be over looked by many hunters. It seems that over the years the industry has taught that you need an expensive bow to be a successful hunter. Well, the Brute definitely proves that theory wrong. Read full review...
