Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

Athens Archery has stepped its production of compound bows, as well as its already highly valued reputation up a level for this year, especially noticeable in the Solace. Although it may not be throwing arrows downrange at incredible speeds, there are an impressive amount of features with this bow that appeal to archers all around the vast industry. With customizable finish options, a choice of cam systems to suit the archer's needs, high quality craftsmanship, and a heck of a warranty to boot, this compound is worth taking a test shot with at the local dealer. For $850, the rough average price of a flagship bow in the market today, the Solace just may be the bow that fits the bill in any archer's hands. Read full review...

The Athens Afflixtion is a really great shooting bow that offers ample speeds, a solid back wall, and a transferrable lifetime warranty. With the ability to be a hunting rig and a target bow, many shooters will be drawn to the Afflixtions dual purpose. Despite needing new cams to change the draw length, shooters will be properly fitted at the shop with the best fitting cam for their shooting needs. Weighing in at 4.3 pounds, some shooters will enjoy the added stability caused by a heavier bow while some shooters will find it a bit heavy when compared to other lighter model bows. All in all, the draw cycle on the Afflixtion is worth a test shot for anyone interested in a new bow with a unique look and finish options. Read full review...
