Compound Bow Comparator

The Martin Krypton is new in 2015 and is marketed as a beginner bow. With a 31" ATA, 7" brace height, 17" - 30" draw length, and 40# - 70# draw weight range, this rig offers a lot to the new archer. Although this rig has a 315 fps IBO, the bow will be hard pressed to reach that, but does have a very respectable speed. One shooter was set up at 28" and 60# and was getting 255 fps from an average hunting arrow. This bow will not keep up with the $1000 rigs, but as a price point bow it is definitely worth looking at.

The Hoyt Ignite is a new bow in the 2014 lineup. It was introduced to provide a more economical avenue for young shooters to get involved in archery and grow with them so they don't have to buy new bows every couple of years. This rig will be with the shooter for years. Although this bow is an entry-level rig, it offers the shooter decent speed, and excellent accuracy at any draw weight and length. It is easy to shoot from the lowest draw weight and the shortest draw length, all the way up to the maxed out specs.This rig is very economical and is a good beginner bow. With a 28" ATA, an 8" brace height, and only 3.6 pounds of mass, it will fit almost any shooter looking to break into archery. With the ease of adjustability, this is a good vow to start on.
