Compound Bow Comparator

All in all, the Hyperlite would make a great bow for any hunter who does not insist on having the fastest bow. It is no slouch, coming in at 325 fps, but other bows can shoot around 350 fps, making it seem slow to someone who is used to shooting higher speeds. Young archers and females will benefit from the 3.45 lb weight, without having to shoot a youth bow or one designed for females. It may not be a great recommendation for someone who is still growing, since a new cam will have to be installed to change the draw length. Being reasonably quiet on the shot and having a very short ATA makes it a great choice for a treestand hunter looking for a maneuverable bow. Blind hunters would also be interested in this short ATA bow as it is very easy to move around inside such a small enclosure. If you are a hunter, you should check this bow out as it will allow you to save some money and you may be surprised at how well a light, short ATA bow can shoot. Read full review...

The Mathews DXT is a very lightweight and maneuverable bow capable of producing fast IBO speeds. While this rig is not as smooth as some of the smoothest Mathews single cam bows, the DXT is reported to have a nice smooth draw cycle with a solid back wall. Outfitted with durable limbs and comfortable grip, the DXT is a high-performing, lightweight, and compact bow. With a proven and effective silencing package, the hand shock is minimal and results in a very quiet shot. While the eccentric system is not adjustable and requires new cams for changing draw length, this design helps to tune each DXT bow to deliver better performance and increase consistency. Ideal for tree-stand and blind hunting, the Mathews DXT is a very good choice for average shooters who like shorter bows that draw smoothly and are quiet at the shot. Read full review...
