Bow reviews

[Radar]

There are a lot of topics related to picking out a bow or getting a review on current or past model bows . The following website has unbiased reviews on hundreds of current and past model compound bows . I recommend shooting a bow before buying , but this may help in narrowing down that selection .

Very good website. I like it much better than some that simply reprint the company's press release and add a couple sentences.

I like it because you can submit user reviews too .

And the authors point out the pros nd cons of each bow , not just a sugar coated general overview .

Good resource.

It is rare to find a review that will mention the cons of a bow. The reviewers are usually reluctant to mention what the manufacturers do not want pointed out. They depend on the advertising dollars for existence. To go back to an editor and tell them that a sponsor is pulling out or cutting back on ad space, because your review was a little to "honest" is a very real balancing act. If a bow has a design flaw or just an eccentric feature most manufacturers do not want the people they pay, in advertising money, to point it out before the bow is paid for.
So I agree with Radar this is a great evaluation of these bows, warts and all.

Good point and I didn't think about that but its true. Could you imagine a hunting show where the hunter tells the audience the scent blocker doesn't work all the time or the doe estrous scared off the big buck lol

Yes , and that's why sites that point out the negatives don't take sponsorship from bow companies .
