We've had several thunderstorms roll through Northern Indiana lately. Luckily, not too much damage was done from the extreme wind, flooding, hail and lightening. I think it's safe to say we are starting to get sick of the rain but thankful that its a 180 from last years drought! :)
I have been doing some research on bows lately so I asked a few of the NoCo folks what kind of bows they shoot, what they like or dislike about it, and if they would recommend it. This is what they said...
Zane shoots a Fred Bear Truth 2.
"I got this bow when I worked at Dicks for half off. I don't like it at all, it shoots terrible. I am uncomfortable with it and cannot shoot it. I got rid of my Hoyt Ultramax and wish I wouldn't have replaced it with this bow."
Desirea shoots a Parker Side Kick, in pink camo.
"I love the weight, sights, and compactness of the bow. It's easy to adjust and accurate. I have shot a Diamond before and found it to be super smooth and accurate as well!!"
Josh shoots a Mathews Heli-m.
"I love the Mathews Heli-m I used last year! It is light, quiet, and fast! I'm a big fan of the lost camo and their solo cam's. I had no problem shooting 60 yards! I won't be switching from Mathews but if I was going to shoot another bow it would be the Mathews Z-7 or Z-7 Extreme which isn't as light as the Heli-m but with the right arrows and set up these 2 bows are single pine'd out to 40 yards and that could help any hunter!"
Justin says,
"Well i have always been a Mathews guy. That's what I was first really taught on so I feel the best shooting Mathews. I have owed the Switchback, DXT, Monster, and Heli-m. I like the way that Mathews fits and the balance. With having a short draw length, I like the speeds I get. I get tired of hearing the debate "my bow's better than yours". "This bow sucks". People dissing the others shooting a 200 dollar bow cause their bow was $1000. It all comes down to what feels best to you and it doesn't matter the price tag if your accuracy sucks. I have been out shot by a 10 year old $150 bows plenty of times!... I have tested other bows the past few years and anymore, with the research that goes behind them, they all are good. I encourage others to try the Athens bow also. Great bow and, what do ya know, made right here in Indiana!"
Justin has taken two large bucks in the last few years with a Mathews and Heli-m. He has decided this year to shoot a recurve, no sights.
So the search continues... but you'll never know what you prefer 'till you try it! What bow do you shoot?!?
