Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

For those or a strict budget or just getting in to archery, the Wildfire Extreme is a super bow. Although there are faster single cam bows, the 7.75-inch brace height combined with an 80% let off makes this bow easy to shoot and very forgiving. For $399 bare bow or $499 fully set up, the Extreme is one of the best values available and will not disappoint in accuracy or performance. The Wildfire Extreme is also one of the lightest adult bows produced. Archers in the market for a bow under $500 should give the Wildfire Extreme a chance and see if it right for them.

Although the Parker Velocity bow is a nice shooting bow for all archers, the Velocity really makes a great option for those just getting started. New archers will have the luxury of high-end accessories at an affordable price. Shooters will also have the option to buy completely set up from the factory with everything they need to get started. Despite the IBO speed of 315 feet per second and a thick handle, the Velocity draws great and offers lots of customization in the draw cycle not seen with other budget bows. For $399, shooters may struggle to find a better shooting rig. Those interested in getting started in archery, or not looking to spend a lot of money owe it to themselves to give the Velocity a test shot. Read full review...
