I am currently shooting a Mathews Drenalin but have an itch to get something new. I'm not loyal to brands but I do like my Drenalin so Mathews might be a front runner but not by much. Has technology drastically changed since my Drenalin was made to see a noticeable difference to justify getting a new one? Narrowed my search to Prime Nexus (2 or 4), Mathews V3 (29 or 31), and Elite Enkore. I'd go and test them out but I am not even close to a good bow shop.

Yeah significantly different than your drenalin. However I have a VXR and still enjoy shooting my DXT, I even take it to stand a few times each year. But if I’m shooting a distance or just running a lot of arrows the VXR is by far better

Bows have come a long way, all the bigs have brought something new/good to the table since the DXT days. Go take the Pepsi challenge and have fun with it.

That’s what I figured but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the inputComment

I have had a DXT and a Drenalin and a few others including a Monster, a NoCam, and a Halon, and now I have a VX3 27".
The new bows are well worth the switch. It is pretty night and day different to me. They are a whole lot faster and way more forgiving, not to mention quieter, etc.Comment

I don’t know the Drenalin that well, but the tunability (via their SET feature) of the EnKore and customization (1/4” draw length, string & limb stops) were game changers to me. I actually prefer the draw cycle of the Remedy and Kure, but that’s a personal preference. I’d throw their new EnVision in the discussion for sure because it may be the quietest of their offering. Shoot them and see what you think. A lot will depend on your string angle for your draw length. These bows today are pretty awesome.

Thanks for the info. Now if I could find the time to spend some time at a bow shopComment

I went to the more modern bows and gave them a two or three year test run. I did not find them more forgiving. I had a Halon 6, Halon 7, and a Hoyt RX3. The best that I can say for the Halon was that it sure was quiet. The RX3 just never impressed me. Heavy, odd shaped and clumsy to carry in the field. I went back to a Drenalin and recently picked up a Bowtech Destroyer 350. The Bowtechs are known for excellent performance but the limbs blow up. I fixed that problem by putting a new set of Barnsdale limbs on. There is a lot to like about that bow. Funny thing is, both of my bows are not split limb and the Bowtech weighs a half a pound less than the Halon.Comment

I garontee it! ��Comment

Most any compound I might get would be 'new' tech for me. I still have my Matthews Q2. I only get 235 fps out of it, but it's smooth and quiet and seems to whack things out to 30 yards just fine. Had to scrounge pretty good to get new stings/cables last year!Comment
