Compound Bow Comparator

From hardships to new beginnings, Martin Archery has persevered a great amount to be in the position they are now- creating quality, innovative bows for the market. It is especially noticeable with the Stratos CR, being one of, if not the first versatile compound with a carbon riser. Although there are a couple of features that could improve, like the somewhat mushy back wall of the draw cycle and the fairly slow IBO, this bow packs an incredibly large amount of features to appeal to many different archers around the world. 70lbs of draw weight adjustment and 13" of draw length adjustment at a grand total of 3.6lbs bare bow is quite the platform for a bow with an MSRP of $399.

Bowtech is joining the party with short axel-to-axel hunting bows in a lightweight package. With suburb tunability, and tons of available adjustment, the Carbon Knight is an excellent choice for those in the market for a trendy hunting bow. Although the $849 price tag may be a little steep for some, and the late release date may have caught people off guard, this Bowtech should be an option for anyone on the market. Read full review...
