Compound Bow Comparator

The Diamond (Redhead) Toxik XT is a very good rig for the hunter. With a 32" ATA, 7" brace height, 26" - 30.5" draw length, and 320 fps, this bow is definitely built to meet any hunting challenge, but can easily be found on the 3D course too. With a price of $499, it is affordable for most archers and will not disappoint. To top it off, although it is sold as a member of the Redhead line, you still get the Bowtech quality and warranty, since Diamond is a product of Bowtech. Read full review...

The Parker Kodiak was introduced as part of the 2013 lineup. With a 30" ATA and a 7.5" brace height, not only is this bow a good fit into any archery situation, it is smooth, forgiving and accurate. The solid one-piece machined riser, the extreme parallel limbs, and the single-cam setup produces a respectable 320 fps IBO. The bow looks good, feels good, and shoots good.This rig is priced at the lower end of the price range of compound bows, but this shouldn't be reason to overlook this bow. With an adjustable draw length of 26" - 31," this bow is in line with the normal expectations of bows, as well as the draw weight range of 50# - 70#. To achieve this, the bow must be ordered with either 60# or 70# peak weight limbs, which can be adjusted downward by approximately 10#. The Kodiak does have a tendency to torque in the hand at shot, but has very little vibration regardless. One archer even commented that he shot several rigs to include PSE, Hoyt, Bowtech, and Matthews yet chose the Kodiak over them all. Read full review...
