Bowtech Opinions, Please (vs. Mathews)

[noack920]

I like my d350.

I must have drove by KC's a hundred times and never noticed it, thanks for the heads up! As Double G's has both Hoyt and Bowtech, I might just go there to check em both out. Been to Archery Country many times and shot several Mathews bows, by the way. Thanks again you all, the input helps a lot.

After shooting different models my bowtech admrial feels good to me. my brother and most of the guys I hunt with shoot mathews. I do like the monster, probably becuase its got everything i like in a bow. ie dual cams, short a2a, fast, split limbs.. But I do not care of the standard grip on any mathews bow i have ever shot, to thick

Hey buddy go thick or go home!!!

My first quality bow was a Mathews Legacy. I upgraded to the Drenalin when it came out and just recently switched to the Bowtech Experience. I shot all the new Mathews, Hoyt, G5, Prime, and Bowtechs. The Creed was my second pick.
Experience is absolutely dead in hand after shot, riser is way more rigid without the flex of Mathews ugly waffle riser, cams are easy to adjust and tune, backwall is 10x better than Mathews, quieter than all the other bows (read this on a review where a noise monitoring system was set up to measure dB), and flat out faster. I shoot 71#, 29" draw, 455 grain Injexion arrow at 305fps.
My vote is for where I put my money: Bowtech Experience.

I'm a Bowtech dealer, so I'm biased, but I've also been a Mathews dealer, so at the very least I can be honest.
I wish I had an Experience that could do this.

They're both good bow companies. I shoot Mathews (and now a PSE, also) and I'm a big fan. Go shoot both brands and see what feels best to you. It doesn't matter one lick what I, or any other GS member, like - the only thing that matters is what fits YOU.

My recommendation is to make a trip to Archery Country in Austin before you buy anything. Ask for Mike Luckie - tell him Nick sent you. Let him set you up with some different bows on their range and spend some time shooting them. I drive all the way to Austin from S. Texas because of the customer service and the quality of the shop. In fact, I'm headed up tomorrow. I'd go check out Double G too; but I wouldn't buy a bow in the Austin area without at least talking to Mike.

I purchased mine from Cinnamon Creek in August. I shot it on their chrono when set up. My draw is set on the #4 peg which is 29.5" and not 29". And yes, it can do this.

Bought a BOWTECH D350 last year and can't complain about it a bit. I shot several different bows at the dealer and that one sealed the deal.

I still shoot an 07 Bowtech Guardian. I have been wanting, not really needing, a new bow for a few years and have shot most of the latest bows out. I have shot some that are faster but none that were as comfortable and quiet as my Guardian. Bowtech and Mathews both make great bows. Shoot a few of each brand and find the one that fits you the best.

[Speedgoat]

Shot most brands and all of the big brands. Bowtech has always shot the best for me. Mathews grips are not my style. Hoyts are too heavy and not balanced to my tastes. PSE is too loud and vibrates. Bear bows feel good, just not great. The other brands are decent, but my loyalty is to Bowtech until something else stands out. Speed, cycle, weight, balance, and styling are all tops.

I have been shooting bowtech for the last five years and like the bows and they shoot great but i will never buy anouther one had some issues and had to deal with bowtech customer sevice and it was a terrible experience, the company essentaly has no customer service.

I simply said I wish I had an Experience that could do this.
IBO on Experience is 335, (and it does IBO)
-5 (29.5)= 330
115 grains at 10fps per 30 grains, = 35, = 295 fps.
I know you are pulling 71 lbs instead of 70, so adding 2 fps per lb, =297 fps.
I've not subtracted any FPS for your loop or peep, so let's just stay with the 297 fps.
Remember, you originally said it was a 29 inch draw. (5 fps slower).
I simply said that I wish I had an Experience that could do this.

I love my Mathews shot a lot of others except Bowtech we have Mathews PSE Hoyt Bear all here in town I wanted to try Bowtech but closet dealer is 2-1/2 hours. I wanted to be able to have service after the sale not driving.

I shoot a D350 and think it's a great bow for ME. I've shot and owned Mathews bows as well and had no complaints. I'm scared to shoot the new Hoyt's to much because they are that nice. Elite makes an excellent bow with the best warranty in the industry. See where I'm heading.......buy what feels best to you because most all of the big players make a great product. Good luck and shoot as many different flavors as you can.

I loved the bowtech experience. It was by far my favorite shooting bow that I tested, but the price tag kept me from getting it (kind of kicking myself for not breaking down and spending the extra $200) so I bought a hoyt vector 32 because of its draw cycle. My favorite aspect of the experience is the back wall. Solid and steady, and little to no vibration at the shot. I'm not a Mathews fan, so I didn't shoot any Mathews to compare it to
