2014 bows

[Abndoc]

What's next...anyone excited to see what's coming. Still nothing can touch my invasion. Will have to be something pretty sweet to drop the hammer. Black knight all gucci'd up...maybe!!

[sticknstring]

The Bear Kodiak sure is a beauty!

[MattL]

I'd sure like to get my hands on one of the new Hoyts, but the price tag on them sure make my old ViperTec look good.

[Hoyt4]

New Hoyt spider is awesome shot a few bows the other day. Just making me want one more and more.

[Bear55]

Went Elite Hunter on a good deal in Oct this year, I think I am set for 7-10 years but it is always fun to see what is out there.

[SmellEsox]

Was thinking about buying a new one this year, but decided to keep my Hoyt Maxxis 35 and Vectrix XL for awhile. Will put new strings on and give them another go next year.

Bear....how do you like that Hunter? I'm shooting a GT500 right now and was seriously considering looking for a Hunter. Haven't heard too much about them tho.

[stretch]

i have 2 bows on order. A hoyt ignite for the girlfriend and a hoyt spider for me. I was fortunate to shoot the whole 2014 hoyt line up already and i am very impressed in there bows.

Shot a lot of bows, at first I wasn't sure about it but the more I shot and compared to others the more I liked it. Almost no vibration at all, it wasn't as quiet as I was hoping for (about the same as my much older bowtech) but seemed to make less noise than the other bows I shot. I was hoping for a bigger improvement in that area but I think the move to lighter and faster bows makes it harder to reduce the noise. Draw cycle is pretty sweet as well.

A lot of folks think the GT500 was one of the best bows Elite has made. While I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the newer models, I don't know if a new one would be a significant upgrade. I will say the 2014 Energy series is supposed to be quieter and more "dead in the hand" due to more parallel limbs. Good luck.

I am with you there still don't think that there is a bow I like more than my invasion. However if they tun out a carbon version of it then it might be time to upgrade. That is only if they keep the price affordable.

Not askin' for much, are ya? No chance of those two things coming together. If they do this, it'll come at pretty penny-type cost.

[BRULEWADER]

I shot all of the 2014 bows. Came down to the hoyt carbon spyder and the elite energy for me. Shouldn't have been a tough decision but I didn't know much about elite bows. The energy blew every bow I shot out of the water, can't say enough about it. Fast, silent, dead in hand. Best bow I've ever shot.

[Abndoc]

All of the 2014?

[BRULEWADER]

All the flagship bows from the big names and dozens of others. So no I didn't the new strother or rytera bows

[rkhinrichs]

could some one answer me why bows get release in the middle of hunting season? Like why was the carbon knight released in October? For most states that is in the middle of the season. Personally i do not want to mess my mojo up mid season. yes it is the start of the lull but if i was going to buy the top of the line bow, i would wait in till the end of the season. thoughts??

[Capt. Russ]

I couldn't wait any longer. Saved up some coin and bought a Mathews Creed. I've reduced my shot groups from the size of an orange down to a silver dollar. Smooth draw, good back wall, light (3 1/2 pounds) and shoots quiet. I don't even use a stabilizer any more. I'm very happy with my choice.

Is this the new Creed XS you bought or the Creed from last year??

[Capt. Russ]

It's a 2013 Creed, as such I was able to get a better price. Don't see much difference in the new one. This one does everything I need it to do and I've been bowhunting for the better part of forty years. My first was a Bear recurve that needed a team of horses to pull it back to full draw.
