Curious if anyone has had any issues with their Bowtech?

Been out of the bow game for a while. I was always a die hard PSE shooter. Been doing a lot of research on bows and have shot quite a few bows lately. Having a 31+ draw length really narrows down the bows for me. I keep going back to the Destroyer 340. Just curious how others have liked or disliked their Bowtechs.

Bowtechs are great bows. I am upgrading from the general to the destroyer this year. I wont shoot anything but a math or a tech. As far as PSE , I bought an X Force new with all the hype around it a year or so ago. I shot about 250 arrows at the 3d range then literally gave it away. To a good friend of course. You wont be dissapointed with the destroyer.

I have an 06 Tribute, and love it. The newer one's just really don't appeal to me that much, though I hear the Invasion is an absolutely awesome rig.

The destoryer is a really smooth quick bow. With a 7" brace height it should be very fogiving and a super quick all around bow. If I could have found one as cheap as I got my PSE omen for I would have jumped on it but they were still getting $750 used at the time and I couldn't drop that much on a bow.

Elite!!!



Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR

I was with him and this is where he shot and pretty much decided on the Destroyer 340.

My Bowtech Equalizer has been great. No issues. Quiet and fast.

I have the Diamond Black Ice, bought it new, maybe "old" now, but it's supper smooth, very accurate and quite. I orignally got a bow thinking I would be saving money over another rifle, LOL! That $600 bow ended up being $1200 by the time I got it dressed out. Oh well, I probably wont need to buy another for quite sometime, but who know's when that itch will show up again!?

I shot a 2008 Guardian for three years and never had an issue. I just bought the new Assassin this year and love it. Bowtech is the only bow I would shoot now. Tried Hoyt and Mathews and didn't like either.

I bought the new Assassin about a month ago. Went to shoot it at Cinnamon Creek and they were selling them for $650. Went to All Star Archery in Lewisville and it was $599. If you are going to buy you might call All Star and check their price.

Thanks for all the input.

I've shot a few Mathews. Heck I even shot one for about 2 hours yesterday on a 3D range a buddy loaned me until I finally pick out/buy my new bow. I've got nothing against Mathews. I just think the Bowtech is equally as nice on draw, release, fit, and feel at a lower price with better speed.

Like REDGUN said, I've been to CCR. They had me shoot an Alpine, PSE, Bowtech, and one other I don't remember. I told them my draw was 31" and that dictated the bows they drug out. I never shot an Elite. Maybe they dont' make one in 31" draw or they didn't have one? confused2

Loved the Guardian. Still prefer it over my buddy's Z7.
