Darton and Athens needs more respect than they get.

That Mach 30 DS is really catching my attention.

Heck yeah brother! It was a super pleasure meeting you and talking Archery at the ATA!!!

It is great to see Bear and Darton putting market pressure on Mathews, Hoyt, etc. I love the big company flagships, great bows, but the market space needs more balance. Let's hope Bear and Darton stay focused on high value offerings and don't slip only into high end offerings (mainly Darton as Bear is always likely to have midpoint bows) in the same way Falken offered great prices on the Wildpeak tire for the first 24 months and now they are priced the same as Toyo (best analogy I could come up with). Archery needs great bows between $500-750 or maybe $800ish in order to draw more folks into the market space.

Dartons shoot amazing!!!

Good to see bear on here. They make great bows at a price that's worth it.

Thanks for your take, trying to get into bow hunting so looking into my first bow

The new Prime is the RVX, not to be confused with the Revex from last year.

Many thanks. Going with the Alaskan XT.

PJ Riley from Lancaster Archery has video of Consequence at 30", 60 lbs, with 350 grain arrow shooting 298fps through chronograph, here soon I'm getting new bow and Consequence is on my list of possible bows!!

I’m so brand new to this sport but it looks very interesting. I’m hoping to get a better understanding which should be my first bow that cost at least no more than $1500. I understand the concept of shooting a weapon since I was in the military, but I’ve never shot a compound bow.

Thanks for the value notes.

Am I first to comment ? Great review and I like how you added some budget bows

Mathew and Hoyt punching the air

Thank you for not covering Hoyt or Mathews dream rigs in this list. So tired of all these You Tubers with their MEGA Bows, I get it, the newest super bow is cool, it’s dreamy, but we can’t all spend $1,500 to $2K on a new bow every year. I come home with a radical new Hoyt or Mathews or PSE or Bowtech… instant divorce. I have a great bow that is “premium entry level,” about $700-$750’ish. I intend to shoot it for a while and I like to hear about Entry Level and just past entry level bows - - thank you for covering this segment of the market. No disrespect to the other KZfaqrs or the more premium bow manufacturers but that sort of gear sells itself: this is our new flagship bow and it does this one thing better, maybe two things better than last year. Ok, great thanks for letting us know. Long winded to say: thank you for keeping it modest, yeah you like the SR but it was great to hear you mention Bear Archery too.

The Darton is the "Sequel" not the "Sequence"

Looks like all solid bows. I’m kind of a bear fan and I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Alaskan xt on how quiet it is

So really all it takes to be accurate with a bow is just being able to hold its extremely steady in one spot - so if you hold a full draw and do it for long periods of time for a lot of reps than one should be extremely accurate ????

does someone know why the compound bow is called "compound"?

Why isn't there a Mathews included?

Hey Lucas! Have you ever tried a gearhead bow? I’d like to see what you think with a bow you can really tinker with. Make 20-24 ATA bows which I really like for hunting situations and then they make 30+ ata for general use and TARGET archery. Just a suggestion from another fellow bow shooter. Thank you for all the info you produce

What do you think of the obsession bows ?????

Sequel… I think u added consequence and sequel to get sequence

Prime screwed up doing away with the dual cam system

What did you think of the new Xpedition bows?

Did you shoot an Athens?

not bad

As they say a seat for all asses. That riser on the darton is hideous to me.

Compound bows look RIDICULOUS like an alien crossed with a clothes line. A True archer shoots Traditional with a stick & string. Not gadgets,sights & gizmos..what a joke
