Destroyer 340/350 by BowTech

[Diamond S]

Anybody shot one? If so, how is the draw cycle? Noise? any other goods or bads?

Thanks

there are a few threads out there on these rigs. Do a search and you should find plenty

Shot em both.

350:
Not bad draw for a speed bow, but not as smooth as I'd like.
Hand shock was min. (a lot less than the monster)
Noise was not an issue
VERY FAST
PERFECT SIZE
grip looks horrible but feels perfect
very light

VERY PRICEY!

340:
Same as above only felt to draw smoother.
Same on the shot
10fps slower
EVEN BETTER LOOKING THAN 350!

Both have lots of moving parts..... I dont like moving parts

I bought a 340 from the Double G a month ago. I LOVE it. VERY smooth draw and packs a punch. As low fence said, it's 4.2 pounds and 0 hand shock and noise.
I have a fairly short draw (27.5) and at 70 lbs, I'm getting about 311 with a 350 gr. arrow and still retain about 72 ft/lb of KE.

I shot the 350, but the hand shock was more noticable because of the shorter brace height.

i shot the 340 and was very impressed, fastest bow i have shot. also donny at precision archery in bridge city (very well known guy and shop) thinks it is the best bow on the market right now. i know its all opinion but this man knows his bows

Thanks guys. I am going to have to try one out.

[buck_wild]

yeah you got some extra of those free arrows laying around?

[EdO]

I shot a couple circa 1965

I am a big Bowtech fan, but I did not like the grip or the overall feel of either one. I shoot the Admiral and the 82ND Airborne and both feel better to me, just not quite as quiet.

Joe, I still have a few, left a bunch in Africa for Mof, Last I heard he had lost all but 1

Loud. Decent draw cycle. Fast. Loud.

In my opinion neither bow can hold a candle to the Maxxis or the Z7 unless speed is your #1 priority. Did I mention that they were both loud?

I shot the 350 and the Z7 next to each other. To me the 350 had less hand shock then the z7 and was faster. Neithor the 340 or the 350 seemed loud to be, I'm just waiting for the bowshop to get some more in to decide for sure which one it will be.

X2 on this one for sure. Donny is the best bow tech I've ever dealt with. He was supertunning bows long before you ever heard of supertunning.

I'm not trying to say the bows you shot were not loud, but the ones I shot were very quiet. They were fully rigged for hunting though.

I will shoot one tomorrow and let you know what I think. I know they will not be the whisper of the Guardian, but I hope it is a little better than the 82nd Airborne.
