Compound Bow Comparator

The G5 Quest Torrent was introduced to the lineup to provide hunters with a light bow that provided the shooter with an affordable, smooth and accurate shooting experience. With the expected G5 quality, this rig has not disappointed anyone. Besides the 31" ATA and the 7" brace height, the patented Fluid Cam system generates 322 fps, and the patented I-Glide cable guide reduces torque and improves smoothness throughout the draw cycle. Draw length can be adjusted from 25.5" - 30," and can be adjusted easily by rotating the module to the desired position. The draw weight can be adjusted in 10 pound increments from the peak weight of the limbs - 50#, 60#, or 70#, and all adjustments can be done without a bow press and with the use of a couple of hex wrenches. This is a very good bow for the price and has the speed, accuracy, and the smoothness of a much more expensive bow. If someone is in the market for a new rig, they certainly would not go wrong with this one. Read full review...

Designed with proven Bowtech technologies and equipped with a very attractive ready-to-shoot package, the Bowtech Assassin is a good shooting hunting bow at a very affordable price. With an extremely flexible eccentric system, the draw length on the Assassin can be easily adjusted without using a bow press or any extra cams or modules. In addition, the performance system is designed to be equipped with either smooth or fast rotating module thus allowing for choosing the right combination of smoothness and speed. While some shooters can feel a little hump closer to the end of the draw cycle, others either don't feel it for their setups or say it's not pronounced. The Assassin has a pretty good valley and extremely solid back wall. While the Assassin is a very good hunting bow for beginners, it will also be a great choice for advanced shooters who want to save money. Overall, the Assassin is one of the best bows for the money in 2011. Read full review...
