Compound Bow Comparator

The Diamond Core is a 31" shooting platform with a 7.25" brace height, adjustable from 25" - 30," can be purchased with 50#, 60#, or 70# peak weight limbs, and packs a solid 31 fps. Although this is slow by today's standards, it packs plenty of punch to satisfy even the most hard core hunter. It is super smooth and extremely quiet. The only complaints anyone has had with this rig was with some of the components that are part of the R.A.K. package, specifically the rest and the sights. Do not let this divert your attention to a very nice bow at a very nice price. Read full review...

The 2013 Mission Ballistic has everything the archer needs in a bow. With a 30.5" ATA, 7" brace height, and a very smooth draw, this bow is well-suited to fit any archery scenario from the target range to the most desolate hunting grounds. The machined riser, split limbs, and the AVS Cam system produce a very worthy 333 fps. Many shooters will overlook this rig as Mission is a subset of Matthews, and with a price tag of $499 it just it just can't be a very good bow for that price. WRONG! This bow is quiet, accurate, and fast. It is also adjustable from 26" to 30" draw length and 50# to 70# without using a bow press. If you are in the market for a new bow, give this one a try. You may find a bow that fits you while also saving a buck or two. Read full review...
