Anyone get a new bow this year?

Anyone get a new bow this year and what did you get? I got my self a new 2013 bow tech carbon knight the other day. Been shooting my diamond almost 6 years and decided to upgrade. Love it so far so much smother and quiter than the old one. Only got a few dozen arrows through it so far, can't wait for September!

I got a PSE stinger 3g a couple weeks ago. Its last years model, I think they discontinued it. Bought it as a RTS package.

My first bow. I actually just shot a compound for the first time like a week before I bought it. Ive got a lot of experience with my dads ancient youth recurve as a kid though.

Not sure if I'm going to deer hunt with it or not. Never deer hunted before, even with a rifle.

I just got the bow cuz its fun to shoot, free to shoot, and there are multiple ranges within a ten minute drive. New hobby!

Of course I'm at the range the day it came in the mail. Wife came with, and now her ladies bow is in the mail. I got her a diamond infinite edge.

Bought a Diamond Carbon Cure. Basically a single cam Carbon Knight. Never shot a bow before the day I purchased this bow. I love this bow but don't have a lot to compare it to besides shooting a few of my friends bows. For now this bow is plenty good enough for me, but I do see myself upgrading in a couple years.

I got a PSE Evo new non-current 2012 model.

It was around $800 MSRP. I got it for $400.

I was with my kids shooting at a local shop this late winter and saw it was marked down to $650, so I inquired about it. I shot it, and fell in love with it. I asked what they could do on it, since it was already 2 years old, they should consider moving it off the shelf.

After going back and forth with them, they said $400 and I jumped on it. Free set up on it moving all my components from my old bow to it. $50 card included to shoot indoors.

I am ecstatic with the purchase.

I opted for new strings on the bows I have instead of a new bow. Maybe next year.

I will use my 5 year old Mathews, shoots deer just fine. Had my Mathews Solo for close to 10 years and that could still be used today. New bows are nice, more user friendly and faster but I guess as long as my current bow kills, I will continue to shoot it. My son just sold his Drenalin and got a new Creed.

Not me. Until this year I was sponsored by Scheels as a staff shooter, but they shut down the program this year, so I don't get a good deal on a bow. I'll shoot my Bowtech Experience again- I've been happy with it, so why not?

Redid strings and cables on the 1999 PSE Mach 9 and the 2004 Hoyt Ultratec last year. I am good for a while.

Just ordered a Bowtech Experience. Shot a bunch of them including the 360 but that was a little too harsh for me with a 30" draw. I like the Hoyts too especially the Faktor. Shot some Bears and they are great bows too. Just coming from a Destroyer I decided to stick with bowtech for mostly the ease of yoke tuning. Had the Destroyer shooting bare shaft bullet holes so I expect the same from this one. I hope they get it in within the next couple days...

I bought a new bow this year. I got a new Mathews Chill R, I shot several bows, and it was between the Chill R, and the Hoyt Faktor, I actually liked how the Faktor shot better then the Mathews, but I got a better deal on the Chill R, so I went with the Chill R. So far I love it. I am shooting tight groups, well, most of the time.

I did some looking at the pse full throttle. Supposed to be very fast. Im two years away from new tho

[sportfish]

I sold my bowtech last night and will hunt with my strother bow this fall and sell it this winter . Than comes the new one ! I'm thinking of an Elite E35

[Cheetah]

Still enjoying my Mathews Switchback.

[Scoot]

No new bow for me this year. My staff shooter deal feel through this year, so I won't spend the money for the small upgrade for now. When I find a bow that's a significant upgrade to my Experience, I'll probably do it. Not this year though!

[bowhunternw]

I think the new bows have really stalled out on improvements, gonna stick with my experience this year as well.

[creepworm]

Next year I will be shooting either an Obsession Evolution or Phoenix, haven't decided yet. Figured I better shoot the bow I bought this year for one year at least.

I have a feeling I am going to be one of those guys that needs to buy a new bow every year.

I'm shooting the Creed XS this season, shoots great for being a small bow, perfect Thick woods whitetail killer. Creepworm have you looked at the expedition line of bows? Basically the same as the evolution and it's made not too far from you. We picked them up at out shop and they shoot nice!

[creepworm]

I had not considered the expedition line of bows, until you mentioned it. Now I am very, very seriously considering them. Problem is finding the obsessions and expeditions at a shop to shoot.

[gardn184]

If you're in the Duluth area stop by Custom Archery. The Eccentric is a screamer with a relatively easy draw cycle for a speed bow. We've sold a few, and the guys shooting them love em.

I got a new Mathews Chill R. Its a really awesome bow and I had to load it up with accessories also.
