Compound Bow Comparator

The Wild is a 2016 price point bow aimed at getting shooters the best bang for their buck. The largest downside for the Wild is the underwhelming speed of only 310 feet per second. With the slower speed rating aside, it really is difficult to fins something wrong with this bow for the price point it is at. The Wild really does have a great deal to offer for only $399 or $499 completely rigged out with the Ready to Hunt package. Plus, it is available in many larger box stores, so they should be fairly easy to locate and start shooting. Read full review...

The Marshal looks and feels like a typical Bear bow with the S& single cam system. Aside from the price, and the slightly lower performance in regards to kinetic energy and speed, the Marshal could very well be a top of the line model. It is important to note that with a 31 1/8- inch axel-to-axel measurement, some shooters are going to find the Marshal a bit on the small side in regards to being a little too compact, especially as the shooters get closer to the peak draw length offered on the S7 cam system. Those wanting a smaller axel-to-axel model though will love the single cam smoothness added to this designed hunting bow. For $499, it really is hard to find anything wrong with the Marshal and how it performs. Read full review...
