Wanted a Hoyt, left with a Bowtech! What happened??

[@ShieldOutdoors]

DO you hunt? Whats your favorite game to chase?

[@kylehollinger3646]

I'm really into deer hunting. Mainly archery. I really enjoy the preparation of looking at trail cams and all that. I have a fred bear element and a Parker crossbow.

[@PuddleWalkersOutdoors]

We chase squirrel, turkey, rabbit, and deer. I actually shoot a diamond botech and I love it. Lightweight, quite, and fast.

[@chrississon2646]

Deer,

[@emmax60]

Deer and Turkey ¡¡¡¡

[@MistaJaaay]

Right now Antelope and Mule deer are my favorite

[@l.i.archer5379]

You made the right choice buying a Bowtech Solution SS. Hoyts suck and most of them require tuning them to have the top drawstop hit the cable 1/8" before the bottom hits. I just got a BlackOps Solution SS last week, and have been messing around with it ever since. The only problem I have with this bow is my arrow sits pointing slightly to the left after tuning it due to how the cams are designed - they're not centered on the riser/limbs after tuning. My favorite bow still is the Bowtech Destroyer 350, and that's why I owned 3 of them (but gave one away to my best friend).

[@myronriggs9613]

I bought a year old Bowtech solution. I really like it. I live a 130 miles from a bow shop I need to be able to tune it myself

[@robert6190]

Waiting on my Solution to come that I ordered.I hope its today.Good Video glad you are honest on not being a pro shooter.Keep up the good work and cant wait for the next video.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Thanks Robert! Easy for everyone on KZbin to think they are pro...but i know im not lol just a normal guY!

[@boostedlx1888]

I shoot a solution ss and a PSE evo ntn. Also had an older hoyt that is now my little girls first bow. Bowtech ss is my favorite by far for the easy draw. Best thing about the hoyt was it had the coolest free hat. Your gonna love that ss. Good luck this year!

[@justinsigmon1878]

I shoot a 2013 bowtech outlaw. Going to look at new bows next week lol.

[@anthonylubic]

Congratulations on the bow I love that cam system they have. The best part of camo bows is that they don’t show any scratches or dents compared to solid colors. I’m currently shooting a 2021 30” Hoyt Ventum, I do like it but the cams can be a bit of a pain to move.

[@martypopeye8236]

This is true. I always get solid colors but my next bow is going to be camo. I don’t like to baby my bows as I hunt hard public land and my bow experiences a lot of rough stuff. I’m constantly checking if I scratched it.

[@Rickseavey84]

I just bought a Bowtech Solution about 5 weeks ago and i love it!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Same! Glad you are enjoying it!

[@micahhwilliams]

Bowtech Solution SS 72/29 OD GREEN riser black Limbs It’s an awesome shooting bow. My favorite I’ve ever shot.

[@Jaxx137]

We experienced the same thing coming to the same conclusion. I wanted a Hoyt initially and found the Bowtech Solution meeting my needs better. I generally shoot 60lbs and could draw the 70lb bow clean. The weight and versatility is sweet. The OD green is beautiful, but I purchased the Mossy Oak Hide Open finish to match my other hunting gear. I like smooth and quiet. Most bows are fast enough for me. I do not regret my decision.

[@djackson1120]

I'm currently shooting my destroyer 350, had it for about 12 years. Looking to buy the solution next year.

[@kcMan7938]

My first compound bow was a PSE thunderbolt single lightning cam , 60lb that I bought new in 1999. I recently gave it to a family member , for his first bow . It was replaced with a Diamond Deploy Sb , ata 31” . I like the diamond a lot, but the back wall feels a little spongy , and wants to pull of that shelf . It took awhile to get used to a new modern bow , and how it shoots . My new bow is a Bowtech SR350 60lb black , 34” ata ,qad hex rest , Truglo micro adjust sight . This latest bow is amazing to shoot . So steady in your hand when it fires .

[@georgeverheyen3312]

You made a wise choice because of that feel. A thumb button you'll really like. Happy trails

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Thanks man! I always appreciate the support!

[@sagrieff]

so makes sence that you would choose the Bowtech since you were used to shooting a diamond, same company, so it is more like they feel you are used to.

[@erikleirmo9147]

You already spent a ton on the bow so spott Hogg fast Eddie xl and a Hamske trinity hunter to wind things out. My bows old as hell too and probably will buy a solution ss or an Elite Enkore

[@bradleycox9835]

Sorry... a little late to the party here. I just wanted to comment that I had almost the exact same experience. Once I pulled on the Solution SS there was just no going back. I love it for all the same reasons you mentioned, and I was happy to give up a few ft per second. That draw cycle is just butter... and my shoulders love me for it. 🙂

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Same Bradley. I was immediately on team bowtech again lol

[@scottanstine1809]

I ordered the same bow. Same color. It is very smooth to draw and with the valley I could hold it all day. Great bow.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

AMEN! Easy hold once drawn

[@2017Toy]

Very nice bow definitely a great choice

[@patricknicolosi9277]

I just picked up your bows twin about a month ago. This thing an absolute UNIT of a bow. I run a Spot Hogg Fast Eddie XL, Quad HDX rest, Bee stinger 10" Microhex with a 10* Cant QD mount.

Just found your channel def caught my eye when u bought the bowtec!!!! I went to Lancaster archery, was gonna buy an elite but shot the bowtec solution ss Love it smooth and very comfortable to shoot!!! I’ve had several hoyts!!! BUT my choice was by a recommendation by podium archer!!! Def don’t regret getting the solution sd!!!!! Good luck and awesome choice!!!

Im about 150 shots in on this new bow and i LOVE it! Its so smooth, new video probably Wed about my full setup!

I've been hunting with bowtech for the past 15 years. My current bow is the Realm SR6, which I love. I have it set on the smooth setting. I'm waiting to see what bowtech has for '22, but I really love my sr6

[@dannydyer9961]

I hope to shoot an SS very soon. I shot the new SR350 and it was a much easier draw and more dead in my hand than the VX3 no doubt about it. I still shoot an old Mathews Outback, it really surprised me how much better the SR350 felt than the VX3, so I can only imagine how sweet the SS will feel to shoot

[@jacehunt9628]

Did the same thing. Bought a new Hoyt every year since 2011. A good archery guy, and shooting every bow. I walked out with a PSE

[@ShieldOutdoors]

lol yep! It happens to the best of us LOL at least we can humble ourselves to go with what FEELS best

bowtech reign 6, hha sight,, tight spot quiver, drop away rest, easton axis 400

[@trentonthompson6927]

Shooting a bowtech solution, gas strings, fast Eddie sight, hamskea and it’s perfect in my opinion for what I like. Draw is very linear and not near as stiff as my vxr or the v3 was. Holds on target amazing and is hard to torque. It’s a bow i will be keeping for a long long time!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Man thats a serious setup! I bet it lasts awhile, Good luck this seasoN!

[@emmax60]

Like the vid's Good decision on your bow, i like the smooth draw cicle on the Solution SS.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

thanks!

[@vandavidson3049]

Today I went to buy a V3 - bought the Solution…and all I’ve only owned were Mathews. I did shoot the Ventum as that is the bow my son owns and killed an elk with last September. The Solution just felt just a tick better in my hand than the Ventum. Mathews didn’t even rank for me. Didn’t like it from the 1st shot.

[@carlosmohedano]

Maybe I missed it, but Did you try the Bowtech Reckoning? If you did, why did you go with the Solution? - just wondering. I'm on the market for my next bow. Thanks!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

I have not, the solution felt so good, i was hooked immediately

[@josephwilber4129]

That’s awesome, glad you got a great bow!! I bought the Mathews V3 with Spot hog fast Eddie sight, and the QAD Mathews rest that uses the dovetail mounting style!!. I don’t think there is a bad bow out there honestly, the best bow is the one that shoots and feels best to the archer.. I’ve had Hoyts, Bowtechs, and they were all great and did what I needed them to!! Love the green color by the way!! Great looking bow my friend, great choice!!!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

You are right! There is a bow and style for everyone and honestly they all shoot pretty good!

[@guitjolin]

I shot literally everything during my decision making process, was a mathews and hoyt owner for the last 20+ years. Boiled down to the Ventum 33 and solution. Went bowtech! All I can say is if you want to spend the money, shoot every bow you can. Spec sheets won't get you the bow that works best for you.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Nice! So you know exactly how i feel! The bowtech was just too nice!

[@pathfinder5804]

I’m a Hoyt guy through and through but with bows unless someone’s paying you thousands of dollars to shoot a certain brand then you should try as many brands and models as you can. Every year new designs and innovations come up that may make something better then the next. Glad you got something you like!!!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

So true. All the top brands are SICK bows to be honest.

[@spankymcnugget3166]

haha! I don't blame ya. Bowtech or PSE are the only bows for me. I'm starting to likes the Xpediton bows too

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Thats what the shop owner shoots too so yall must have the insider secrets LOL

[@garyv3588]

I’m lead to believe one of the biggest perks to purchasing a BowTech bow it is backed with a lifetime warranty and most Archery companies refused to offer such a Warranty except for Matthews. Have you heard this to be true ???

[@N5KDA]

I have a Bowtech Boss, you'll love it. I'm not sure I would like the 7inch brace height. If you find yourself shooting from a awkward position it could be a wrist slapper. I have mine set for smooth draw because I have neck problems. It's super smooth. I only hunt whitetail, or fox or coyote if they happen by.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

I have to draw and shoot in a unique position anyway because of a shoulder injury, my scapulas dont like to rotate down

[@LuisGonzalez-gl4wc]

Same thing happened with me. I went in to my local archery shop intending to buy a Hoyt or a Mathews. Their staff allowed me to shot both of these and also suggested to try a bowtech solution ss at 60lbs. And ended up taking the bowtech solution SS instead. It was the smoothest at 60 lb draw. The Mathews though had the best backwall.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Sounds like the bow shop staff knows best!

[@LuisGonzalez-gl4wc]

@@ShieldOutdoors yes and they setup for. They setup my new sight and arrow rest. I have the same arrow rest as you. Just a different sight.

31 inch! got those long arms! lol

[@rickhofmeister2125]

I went today to get my first bow thought I was getting Mathews or Hoyt left with bow tech solution

[@HeavilyConnected]

Not surprised....they are techy and they are GOOD. Making cheaper bows like the diamond infinite edge pro cheapened the brand but the performance and quality of everything bowtech makes especially the solution ss has brought them to the top 3 brands with Mathews and hoyt. Hoyt bows are smooth but less fast and more heavy. Bowtech is hanging tough in hunting and competition. I would only buy the bowtech or hoyt the Mathews he as pigeon holed themselves as the exploding one with too many strings and HUGE cams.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

It truly is something you have FEEL to understand!

[@easttexasoutdooradventures3246]

I can tell ya the best bow in the world for anyone is,,,,,there isn't one, at least not one that's best for everybody. The bow that fits YOU and your shooting style the best is the right one for you. I will say some are of better quality and features but it all come down to what you as an individual wants in a bow. I own PSE, Bear and Mathews and shoot well with them all because I set them up to my shooting and hunting style. I also got into crossbows after a surgery kept me from being able to draw my bow for a season. Now I shoot whichever one floats my boat for each particular hunting situation. I practice with them all so I'm ready no matter what. Good luck and have a safe hunting season.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

PREACH BROTHER

[@halfstep67]

Glad to see Hoyt finally using a binary cam. They should do well with it. I shot Hoyt for years but I got where I didn't like the cam 1/2 design because they reduced the valley to zero and it didn't have any usable valley. So I started shooting bows with binary cams. Even though Mathews uses a binary cam ,but the below center grip design really makes the bow feel top heavy. PSE makes some nice designed bows with binary cams and worth a hard look. I have a 2011 Bowtech Specialist with Barnsdale limbs and really like it. Since I recently go my CNC milling machine finished, I may just build my own bow this coming year. But when it comes down to buying a new bow, Bowtech is really hard to pass up. They are designed very well and tune great. They are very shooter friendly.

[@daddski1]

I bought the Mathews V3

[@kriskodisko]

I'm currently shooting a PSE Precision Edge 1000c that's almost 30 years old that my uncle gave me years ago. Truglo sight and quiver, Trophy Ridge stabilizer and whisker biscuit. Can put arrows touching consistently at 25 yards. It still shoots well but I went to my local shop recently to try a few. They only had a Mathews V3 31 for me to try. Wanted to compare the V3 to a Solution and a PSE EVL. It's hard doing the research online without being able to get hands on, but I like the custom color build options for Mathews and Bowtech. I want to get a deer with this bow and retire it for something top of the line current.

Luckily the shop had one in stock I tried out the V3, V3X, Solution, Solution SS, and a few others. I have had a Hoyt and I just wasn’t as impressed. To me a high end bow is going to be pretty close to each other, so to me it is feel. The SS just did it for me, smoothest bow I have tried and had. May not be as fast as others but I can deal with that. Using the Fast Eddie XL 2 site middle pin.
