Looking for a new bow...anyone have any tips?

I shoot the Bear Attack currently and I like it allot. But, shoot them all and get the one the fits you.

You have any problems with finding someone that has the right press to work on it? Any other praise or complaints? There doesn't seem to be a lot of reviews out for the Attack at all.

Smithfield Archery will let you put a bow on layaway. They are some real good folks over there.

That's a heck of a drive!

Dont forget about the Hoyt Turbohawk. Run over to Viking Archery on 59 and Bissonet and take a look at it. I chose it over the Alphamax because they told me it was dang near the same bow except it had a cast riser instead of a machined riser...and it was way cheaper...I got mine around 500-550 bare bow and I heard they were going to take them down to 450 to move some product...Definitely worth a test fire...

You should take a look at the Strother line....bows shoot really well. I'm going to be selling my Vanquish only bc I'm going to different way in archery.

How much was Viking selling the Alphamax for, if you don't mind me asking?

One thing I will tell yu is to make sure tha the bow feels good in your hand when you are holding it, drawing it and such. If it does not feel good in your hand it will end up like shoes that do not fit well, in the closet and used very little. Comfort and confidence go a long way towards accuracy.

Good point, I've got a buddy who wants to buy my Razortec, but it just feels comfortable in my hand and I can't imagine getting rid of it!

Mainly what I've learned in my 10 years on the site is buy speed!! Find the fastest speed published by all of the manufactures and buy that model. That was a joke fellas. I know I've got a Mathews and they are the slowest, most expensive bows on the planet.

When I bought my LX, I went to David's Outdoors and shot every bow I could without looking at the name or price and picked the one that felt the best to me. Then had to deal with sticker shock. Went in with $1000.00 in cash and still had to pull out the plastic.

Choices

Destroyer , alpha max 31 or 35, otherwise go mathews. Z7 or monster 7.0 those are probably the 2 smoothest with speed and accuracy . With axion glz or just reg axion stab. Top 3 or 4 rest mathews downforce , quad , rip cord , trophy taker pronghorn, site no need to spend tones of money , I have apex bone collectore. Carbon express maxima 350s and both shuttle ts and slick tricks. Good luck. With your set up! Smithfield is good.

Just got a BT 350 and love it. Chose it over the matthews Z7 and maxxis. I agree with the above if you aren't a seasoned archer i would go with the BT 340 it's alot more forgiving than the 350. Both are excellent bows. Good luck!
