Elite Energy 35
User rating:
out of 10 reviews
Elite Energy 35 Review

The Bottom Line:The Elite Energy 35 is one of the most ideal bows in archery. It is touted as "probably the most shootable bow ever." The innovative Caged Riser is the first thing usually noticed about this bow, and quite honestly, can throw you off. Once you feel this rig, pull it back, and release that first shot,... read full review

PSE Bow Madness 34 Review

The Bottom Line:PSE is known for offering something for every shooter. The Bowmadness 34 is not necessarily a budget bow, but it fits comfortably in between a beginners model and the flag ship models. Those looking to upgrade, or just wanting a really high quality bow without the price tag will find a lot to like... read full review

Athens Accomplice 34 Review

The Bottom Line:The Accomplice 34 is a hands down winner for many shooters. With tons of customization, unique camo patterns, and specifications thriving on the right combination of forgiveness and speed, Athens has done a great job with this bow. The decently priced rig has a lot to offer shooters from any archery... read full review

Elite XLR Review

The Bottom Line:The XLR makes a solid option for longer draw shooters. There is a huge draw weight range, module cams, a forgiving brace height, and decent speeds with the XLR. For some shooters, it may be one of the only bows matching the specifications they need, but shooters will not feel like they are settling... read full review

Diamond Edge SB-1 Review

The Bottom Line:Diamond Archery has caused an uproar in the industry by not only putting out an impressive shooting machine, but by including a full blown website devoted to the owners who purchase this bow, helping them turn their own allen wrenches before running to a local shop or dealer. For nearly half the price... read full review

G5 Prime One Review

The Bottom Line:Prime bows have been designed with hunting in mind. However, shooters have been performing well on the range and in competitions with the hunting rigs. The Prime One is an example of a company listening to what shooters are demanding. Although the MSRP of $1499 may be steep for many shooters, the... read full review

G5 Quest Bliss Review

The Bottom Line:There are very few bows offered in the archery world specifically designed for female shooters, and those marketed toward them are often youth/women models. Female archers will love the fact that the Bliss is designed for females in mind from the axel-to-axel measurement, brace height, slim grip, and... read full review

G5 Quest Rev Review

The Bottom Line:The Quest REV really has nothing bad about it other than the price. The $629 price tag is a bit steep to be considered a budget bow, and is not too far off from premium bows from other companies that have been around much longer. Although the price is a fairly competitive one, shooters strictly looking... read full review

Diamond Atomic Review

The Bottom Line:For a starter bow, the Atomic is a hard one to beat. Archery is a wonderful sport, and part of the experience is passing the tradition on to others. Who better to share the sport with than children? The Atomic is designed to look like an adult bow, and does that very well, while keeping great shootability... read full review

Bowtech RPM 360 Review

The Bottom Line:The Bowtech RPM 360 is marketed as a speed bow, but do not let that fool you. This rig offers an IBO of 360 fps, which initially will turn the average hunter away, because something that produces that much speed cannot be a good hunting bow because it has to be loud and have lots of vibration, right?... read full review

PSE Beast EXT
User rating:

PSE Beast EXT Review

The Bottom Line:Simply put, the 2016 PSE Beast EXT was perfectly named. The bow matches everything shooters with a draw length out to 33-inches would want. The frame is long, the weight is heavy, the looks are aggressive, the arrows hit hard, and the customization of the cams is not something longer draw archers are... read full review

G5 Prime Rize Review

The Bottom Line:The Prime Rize is a really great hunting bow that meets the specification demands hunters have for new rigs in 2016. Nothing the Rize does is Earth shattering or ground breaking, but it does everything very well. The Rize draws great, is easy to tune, shoots well, and has a phenomenal warranty that... read full review

Martin Stratos CR Review

The Bottom Line: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... read full review

Bowtech Boss Review

The Bottom Line:Bowtech hit a homerun when they came out with the Prodigy in 2014; a super smooth draw bow, lots of punch, and the technology to actually adjust the performance range of the bow. So, what did they do to step it up a little in 2015? They designed a longer ATA rig with the same concepts in the Prodigy... read full review

The Bottom Line:It is really hard to find anything wrong with the Carbon Spyder 30. When holding the bow, shooters will immediately notice how well engineered it is. After shooting the bow, they will be amazed at how dead and quite it is while still having some really great performance. However, price is going to... read full review

Elite Energy 32 Review

The Bottom Line:The Elite Energy 32 is a new hunting bow that is ideal for any archery situation. It is part of the 2014 lineup and is being marketed as one of the most shootable bows ever made. The innovative Caged Riser design going to give the shooter "braggin' rights," it makes up for in a smooth, quiet, and accurate... read full review

Bear Agenda 6

Bear Agenda 6 Review

The Bottom Line:The Agenda 6 is part of the 2014 Bear lineup. Although this bow will be found in all archery scenarios, it is accurate and has the knockdown power a hunter needs. With a 32" ATA, 6" brace height, and only 3.9 pounds, this rig is strong, but not bulky and is easy to carry into the field. This bow can... read full review
