What bow to buy?

Always traditional, thought I'd try a wheelie. Shot Bowtech, Matthews, and finally settled on a 35 maxxis.
Shoots great, but hangs on the wall. Still prefer the longbows.

 

My draw length is 28", you come to Maui and well go stalk some axis.

 

look on ebay, you can get one fully set up for the same price as a new one.
archerytalk.com is a good place as well, but it will be a little more.

i can feel your pain about not being able to test one out. there are alot of bow
shops around me, but i am a lefty. i am out of luck, like you b/c they never
stock any left handed bows.

i am on my 3rd mathews bow, and won't buy another bow, unless it breaks. i use a
dxt. i put a string stop on it a month ago, and it is so damn smooth, there is no reason to get another.

alot of the new bows come with them, people shoot them and are like, "oh my god this is the smoothest shooting bow ever", lol. if they took it off, it would be almost like the bow they have without one.

i would never pay what they are asking for that carbon matrix bow, who cares if it
is a little lighter. heck, i just put a stabilizer on my bow that weighs 14oz. trying to make it heavier, lol.

 

do you want a hunting partner??????

 

wow no love on this thread, all i did was tell the op what i liked and why. i did not tell him what to buy. well last night on the phone with him i did tell him based on his situation i thought the Z7 might be the best option for him.

i will never try to push anyone to buy what i buy, i will only give my opinion on bow that how they felt to me.

so there you can resubscribe now

 

Yup, with no archery shops around and the only guy on the island that can work on bows is a mathews guy it looks like I'm kinda forced to stay on the z7 path.

 

225, i'll check with my group to see if there is room for another.

and numbah..my DL is 28" also!!

 

Well if you wanna shoot some Hawaiian axis, boar, or goat we hunt year round.

 

a good bow in the hands of a bad shot. Is a bad bow. HOYT / BROWNING / AND TC. Are what I use to kill with and what I always will use. They all will be passed on to my son.

 

Free, no tags, shoot as much as you want/can. We are over run by deer, goats and pigs, my Aunty has 60 acres of deer infested land, archery only.

 

numbah..i may just take you up on it. oneday.

drop wife at spa..run around on auntie's farm..sounds like a great trip. arent there PEACOCK bass on maui?

good luck finding a bow. you really cant go wrong with any of today's modern equipment.

 

Sorry no peacock bass, for freshwater fish we have tilapia, Oahu and Kauai have the peacocks, I'm waiting on a guy on archerytalk.com to message me back $740 for a z7, well see what happens.

 

Ok guys I just pulled the trigger on a Destroyer 340, $1159.00 shipped loaded. It came with the bow set at 28" 70lbs, Hogg sight, limbsaver x-coil stabilizer, quiver, NAP apache rest, Scott little goose release, 1 dozen gold tip carbon arrows, 1 dozen field tips, 1 dozen broadheads, and a bow case. Big thanks to 225 nontypical and aficianado, great help guys and to everyone else who had input on my choice, thanks.

 

Every thing was purchased brand new from J-Hara store, Hawaiis only bowtech dealer. Great customer service and great prices

 

from the ones that I have talked to personally, they love that bow, and I am sure when you put the smack down on an animal, you will too.

 

You found one local, that is sweet I think you will love it

 

There's a nice buck that I have been seeing almost every afternoon, he just started rubbing off his velvet, it looks so cool with pieces of velvet hanging from his racks. As soon as I get the bow sighted in I'm gonna be looking for him.

 

You made a great choice with the destroyer! I got one about 4 months ago and have loved it. It is very fast and smooth. I shot 2 robin-hoods at 20 yards in my first 10 shots and I'm no pro!

 

Damn, I'm so excited to shoot it. I can't wait.

 

wow. that is a pretty good price!!

good luck with it. poor animals..hahahha.

which goldtip arrows? 7595?
