Been a decade since I shopped bows. Seems like a lot has changed. Been shooting a Mission Voyager for a decade now, and it needs new string and cable. Well... kinda got the bug for a new bow. I'm sure you folks here understand.
Hoyt, Mathews, Bowtech, used to be referred to as the big 3. My dad was a PSE-guy for ages, but he jumped to Mission too.
Seems that things have changed in the bow world, and there's more major players.
Not really in a place where I can drive and go shoot them all. So and am open to suggestions to narrow my choices. My priorities, in order:
Smoothness
Quiet
Forgiving/Accurate
Speed is a "nice to have", in my book.
In the past, long ATA, and long brace height were the keys to that. Seems odd, but most all the bows I see are at most 7" brace heights, and with really deep reflex designs. What should I be looking for in the new breed of bows to scratch the itch?
Or should I just restring the old voyager?
