The Bottom Line:The Mathews Ovation is a purpose-built target and 3D bow that has aged into a genuine value on the used market, where clean examples now trade in the low hundreds - a lot of proven tournament accuracy for the money. Its headline numbers were never about speed: a 300 to 302 fps IBO rating, a 40-inch axle-to-axle,... read full review

Bowtech Vital Impact Review

The Bottom Line:The Bowtech Vital Impact is best understood for what it was: a genuine Bowtech single-cam Tomkat, fully accessorized and sold as a Sportsman's Warehouse exclusive for about $429, aimed at the first-time hunter who wanted a name-brand rig without the flagship price. Its strengths are its completeness,... read full review

Bowtech MightyMite Review

The Bottom Line:The BowTech Mighty Mite is the small-but-mighty hunter of the brand's early-2000s catalog - a bow named after a premature baby who beat the odds, built to prove that a genuinely tiny bow could carry full 60-to-70-pound hunting power and a 310s-to-320s IBO speed. For roughly $600 in the mid-2000s you... read full review

Bowtech Justice Review

The Bottom Line:The Bowtech Justice is the value entry to a real Bowtech: a $1,099 launch-price hunting bow that trades flagship tuning hardware for proven binary-cam engineering and delivers the brand's signature quiet, low-vibration shot. It is not a speed bow - hunting-arrow speeds sit in the 250-to-275 fps range... read full review

G5 Prime Black 1 Review

The Bottom Line:Short axle to axle hunting bows are hugely popular for 2020, and the Black 1 is right up there as one of the best shooters. Although there is a ton of competition in the compact hunting bow market, the Black 1 really has a lot to offer in regards to a new cam system, a wide, stable platform, well designed... read full review

Athens Summit 7 Review

The Bottom Line:At an $824 launch MSRP for the 2020 base finish - rising to $874 for premium patterns, with the 2021 edition landing between $949 and $999 - the Summit 7 sits above the budget-hunter crowd and squarely in the custom-shop conversation, which is exactly where it belongs. What that money buys is a compact... read full review

Athens Ridge 32 Review

The Bottom Line:Athens launched the Ridge 32 in 2019 at a $799 base MSRP - direct, small-shop pricing for a hand-built hunting bow that looks and shoots like it costs more. For that money the buyer gets a 32-inch, 340 IBO hunter whose chronograph numbers hold up honestly - 309 to 312 fps with a 350-grain arrow at a... read full review

Athens Ridge 34 Review

The Bottom Line:Athens launched the Ridge 34 in 2019 at a $799 base MSRP - small-shop, direct pricing for a hand-built bow that shoots far above its cost. For that money the buyer gets a 34-inch, 335 IBO do-all whose real chronograph numbers hold up - 325 fps with a 350-grain arrow at a 70-pound setup - a smooth, classic-feeling... read full review

Elite Kure Review

The Bottom Line:The Kure adapts to each shooter, without the need for a bow press, to match exactly how shooters like their rigs to feel. The 31 13/16- inch axle-to-axle is somewhat compact, while still maintaining some stability. The mass weight is a bit heavy, but the Kure carries the weight well, and never feels... read full review

Elite Rezult Review

The Bottom Line:The Elite Rezult is for serious target shooters. This 2020 offering has a lot of really great customization options available for shooters in regards to how the bow feels, and how easily the bow can be tuned for individual arrow and vane configurations without the need to have a bow press handy. The... read full review

Bowtech Black Knight 2 Review

The Bottom Line:The Bowtech Black Knight 2 is an early-2000s dual-cam speed bow that turned out to be a better aimer than its spec sheet promised. It rates 342 to 350 fps IBO, holds real weight at a 65 percent let-off, and stops against a hard, defined back wall - and the long riser turns all of that into the steady... read full review

Bowtech Samson Review

The Bottom Line:The Bowtech Samson is a specialist, and it is honest about it. Produced from 2002 through 2004 in peak weights of 80, 90, and 100 pounds, it took Bowtech's fast Infinity Cam single-cam chassis - the same 325-333 fps IBO platform as the Extreme and Patriot - and fitted it with heavy-deflection VFT limbs... read full review

Hoyt SierraTec Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt SierraTec is one of the best short-draw hunting bows most archers have never heard of. Built from 2003 through 2005 for women and short-draw shooters, it delivers the flagship-grade TEC riser and Cam & 1/2 cam of the full Hoyt line in a lighter, narrower-gripped, 3-pound-8-ounce chassis, with... read full review

Hoyt 38 Ultra Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt 38 Ultra was the one-year-only speed half of Hoyt's 2007 pair - the faster, lower-braced twin of the 38 Pro, built around the hotter Vector Cam and a half - and today it is a rare, rewarding used buy for the archer who wants a long all-around bow with more velocity than a pure target rig. The... read full review

2007 Hoyt 38 Ultra XT 1000 (Vector cam)

Hoyt LazerTec Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt LazerTec was the 2006 line's answer to a simple question: how much of the Hoyt shooting experience can you get without paying flagship money? The answer, then and now, is most of it. Built on the same Cam & 1/2 system and RizerShox and AlphaShox damping as its pricier stablemates but sold as... read full review

Hoyt Avenger Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Avenger earns its "sleeper" reputation honestly: it took Hoyt's TEC aluminum riser, XT1000 split limbs, and the smooth Cam & 1/2 system, wrapped them in period dealer pricing of around $599 in camo (target-color risers ran roughly a hundred more), and delivered a quiet, forgiving 309 fps IBO... read full review

Hoyt Montega Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Montega is a deliberate outlier - a long, 44-inch, 9-inch-braced bow with a soft AccuWheel wheel system, built for finger shooters and precision archers at exactly the moment the rest of the industry chased short and fast. Its numbers tell the honest story: 270 fps in AccuWheel trim or 280 with... read full review

2009 Hoyt Montega XT 3500 (AccuWheel)

Brace Height	9.25 "

Hoyt Vantage X7 Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Vantage X7 is the original 2008 Vantage target bow - the shorter-brace, faster half of Hoyt's X7-and-X8 debut, built on a machined-aluminum TEC riser with XT1000 laminated limbs and the Cam & 1/2 Plus. Its headline is a 41-inch axle-to-axle platform that still rates 305 fps IBO, and its real-world... read full review

2008 Hoyt Vantage X7

Hoyt Vantage X8 Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Vantage X8 is the forgiveness-first half of the 2008 Vantage debut: a 41-inch, 8-inch-brace target bow on XT2000 limbs and the optimized Cam & 1/2 Plus, offered at roughly $919 US retail that year. It gives up a nominal 5 fps to its XT1000 twin the X7 and, in return, hangs steadier on the aim,... read full review

Hoyt Avenger Plus Review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Avenger Plus was a one-year refinement done right: it kept everything that made the 2007-2008 Avenger the value "sleeper" of the Hoyt line - the TEC aluminum riser, XT1000 split limbs, quiet damping, and very wide fit range - and upgraded the cam to Cam & 1/2 Plus for a firmer, more defined... read full review
