Compound Bow Comparator

The Eliminator has a lot to offer treestand or ground blind hunters at a price that is very appealing. The short axel-to-axel parallel limb design bow offers enough speed and kinetic energy for a variety of big game species with a forgiving brace height and a wide range of adjustability. The Mission Eliminator offers a limited amount of hand shock and is virtually silent after the arrow has been shot making it a fun bow to shoot. With the availability of factory accessory packages, a completely accessorized Eliminator may be the same price as a higher end bare bow. It is not the fastest short axel-to-axel bow available, but for many shooters, the price will more than make up for the lack of speed. For those looking to purchase a new hunting bow, the Mission Eliminator may be a great option. 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...
