Can a bow that sells for just shy of $1,000 be called a bargain bow? For shooters who want the stability, durability, light weight, and look of a carbon riser bow with the high-tech features, speed, and shootability that BOWTECH is known for, the Carbon Overdrive is certainly a great bow for the money.

Hunters will appreciate the Barnett RAZR’s light weight, compact size, accuracy, and speed, but in particular those hunters who enjoy spot-and-stalk hunting and therefore spend a lot of time carrying their crossbow, will find that the RAZR compares favorably to any crossbow in production.

Hunters who place a premium on pleasant shooting properties and low noise, with more than enough speed to hunt effectively for any species at any range, will find that the Bear Venue fills the bill nicely.

Any crossbow shooter who is a fan of ARs will probably love the Carbon Express Intercept Axon. And because it won over a non-AR fan like me, I suspect it will appeal to a wide range of crossbow shooters.

The Quest Radical does exactly what it was designed to do: It delivers a solid, reliable, good-looking bow with a sufficient range of draw lengths and draw weights to grow with a young or beginning bowhunter.

Any bowhunter seeking high performance in a moderately priced bow should put the Mission Blaze on a short list of bows to consider.

For the bowhunter who shoots regularly enough to be well-conditioned, and who likes to take advantage of maximum speed for flatter trajectories and longer range, or added penetration when hunting big, dangerous game, the PSE Full Throttle is a bow well worth test driving.

If accuracy, smooth and pleasant shooting, and quiet are high on your list of priorities, and if you are among the many bowhunters who find there is nothing to match the feel of a single-cam bow, you’ll find a lot to like and nothing to dislike in the Mathews Creed XS.

The original Wrath was introduced last year; for this year Strother’s designers set out to make the Wrath both faster and smoother shooting.

Mathews touts the 2013 Creed as the “… smoothest drawing high-energy single cam ever created.”

Prime’s Impact is the faster of two 2013 Prime models sharing the new PCX Cam, an updated version of Prime’s Parallel Cam Technology.

For 2013 BowTech’s designers, in response to input from customers, backed off the throttle and designed what BOWTECH touts as “the smoothest drawing, quietest shooting, most forgiving bow” they have made to date.

Being neither the least nor most expensive bow in the Diamond line-up makes the Core sort of a value bow among value bows.
