Bear Rumor Review

The Bottom Line:The Bear Rumor is the new in the Bear lineup for 2014. It is marketed as a high-end, high-performance rig specifically for the ladies. It is smooth, quiet, and accurate, and will please all the lady archers. With a 30 1/4" ATA, 6.5" brace height, and a mere 3.6 pounds, this rig will follow the female... read full review

PSE Xpression 3D Review

The Bottom Line:3D archery is becoming more intense every year in regards to competition and the folks working to fine tune their skills are getting better and better. The Xpression 3D is going to eliminate all excuse a shooter may have for not becoming a better shooter. This bow is designed to offer shooters some... read full review

Whisper Creek Phantom Review

The Bottom Line:Whisper Creek Archery may not have many bows on the market, but the ones produced are noticeably created with time and a high attention to detail, especially significant with their Phantom for 2008. Although the strings may need replacement after a year or two of constant use and it may be slower than... read full review

Diamond Kronik XT Review

The Bottom Line:For an accessorized bow with a price under $400, it is hard to find anything wrong with the Kronik XT. It is not an industry leader in any category, but it does most things very well. The minor issues with the bow fall under personal preference, and what some do not like others will love. With a forgiving... read full review

Mathews Monster Wake Review

The Bottom Line:The Mathews Monster Wake has the specifications many shooters dream of. The longer 35-inch axel to axel measurement with the slightly reflexed riser measuring at a little over 32-inches, the Wake has a lot of potential to win the hearts of many archers. Combined with the speed of the AVS cams, and... read full review

PSE Carbon Air Review

The Bottom Line:The Carbon Air is not the first carbon bow from PSE, but it is the most recent, and probably the only known carbon bow from PSE. Many shooters on the market today would have no recollection of the 1996 PSE carbon design, but it is fair to mention PSE is not just joining the party in regards to the benefits.... read full review

Hoyt Defiant 34 Review

The Bottom Line:The Defiant 34 returns shooters to the feel of a longer axel-to-axel measurement bow with the convenience of a shorter measurement. It was not long ago the archery industry was full of 37-40-inch bows marketed for treestand hunting. Trends pushing toward shorter axel-to-axel bows have finally joined... read full review

Bowtech Prodigy Review

The Bottom Line:The 2015 Bowtech Prodigy is becoming a popular bow for the serious archers. At first glance, it appears to be "just another speed bow," but at closer look, the first thing one will notice is the gold gear in the cams. Then you are forced to take a closer look. With the flexibility to alter the feel of... read full review

Hoyt Nitrum Turbo Review

The Bottom Line:The Nitrum turbo is a great shooting bow for those wanting the most in terms of speed and performance. It is a little disappointing to not have 80-pound limbs as an option on the turbo, but that only appeals to a small percentage of shooters. With the improvement to the stiffened offset riser, the cage... read full review

PSE Dominator Max MD Review

The Bottom Line:The 2015 PSE Dominator Max MD is a redesign of the Dominator. The Centerlock limb pockets and the Fourth Generation X-Tech limbs, combined with the Mini Evo cams make this a very accurate and fast bow for the competition shooter. The shorter power stroke and the smooth draw make it very shootable, and... read full review

PSE Brute Force Review

The Bottom Line:With 80% let-off, and speeds up to 332 feet per second, and a 7-inch brace height, the Brute Force really is a tempting bow on paper in regards to performance, specifications, and forgiveness. Consider the bare bow price of only $450, and it is very difficult for shooters to not give the Brute Force... read full review

Hoyt Nitrum 34
User rating:
out of 3 reviews
Hoyt Nitrum 34 Review

The Bottom Line:The Nitrum 34 is a longer axel-to-axel bow, but even feels a bit sturdier with how long the riser actually is. The zero torque cable guard system and upgrades to the risers stiffness and strength may not be noticeable in terms of how the bow feels, but it should prove to be more accurate. For those at... read full review

Hoyt Carbon Spyder ZT Turbo Review

The Bottom Line:The price on the Carbon Spyder ZT Turbo is the negative of this bow.

The stronger carbon riser, an updated cam, and every technology Hoyt has available... read full review

Hoyt Carbon Spyder ZT 30 Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Carbon ZT 30 is another great offering by Hoyt, but the price tag is sure to scare off a lot of shooters. Although there are some advancements in technology for the 2014 Hoyt Carbon Spyder 30, the difference may not be enough to justify an upgrade. With that being said, those who did not buy... read full review

The Bottom Line:Bear Archery has created another exceptional product in the Arena 34.

PSE Premonition HD Review

The Bottom Line:For the price point of under $600, it will be difficult to find a compact bow with the exceptional speed the Premonition HD has.
