Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Brigadier took the reigns as the target bow for Bowtech in 2009 and has everything that a shooter is looking for; if they aren't looking for a rocket ship. This is a high end, high performance competition target bow released to replace the late and great Bowtech Constitution. With a great brace height and a long axle to axle make for a very forgiving target bow. With some pretty unique color options this bow is a real head turner (Especially the Testarossa). To go along with being a very forgiving bow this is also a bow that is very steady and it has next to no recoil; it's practically dead in the hand after release, even though it may not be whisper quiet. The equipment that Bowtech put on this bow all come together to make a complete target package that stacks up against some of the most winning bow companies in the business. Read full review...

The Bowtech Specialist is a very high performance up and coming target bow. A long axle to axle, a good brace height and great IBO speed are all ingredients that make a great target bow that is very forgiving and capable of competing with some of the top target bows of the world. The Specialist uses a binary cam system making it a smooth drawing bow that is easy to adjust and has virtually no timing issues. Tuning may need to be done by a professional but once it is set up there should be no problems keeping it that way. With a number of color options to choose from, it's a bow that can look good while putting great numbers up on the score card. Read full review...
