So I've been debating on buying a new bow after this year. It's just too close to the season to jump into something new. Was going to upgrade my sights on my current PSE Brute but after thinking about it, I may just upgrade the whole damn rig.

Seems to top compound bows are Matthews Lift, Hoyt Rx-8, and PSE Mach 30. I held a stripped-down Lift and Mach 30 yesterday, but I plan to go to Chag's next weekend and see if they have any to shoot.

I haven't bought a "new" bow in a long time. The last 3 or 4 I've bought have been 2 or 3 years old. Usually get them half price from someone who just bought the flagship bow for the year. It's worked out good so far.

I’ve been window shopping new bows for three years and always hesitate knowing the new ones are going to come out in November. No idea why they don’t release them in September or earlier when everyone is gearing up.

I bought a “used” Mach 30 on archery talk. Saved a couple hundred. Best bow I’ve ever shot. Love it.

I still shoot a Bear TRAXX from 2015.
I'm really interested in the Bear Whitetail Maxx and the Bear Alaskan XT

I splurged on a Mach 30. First “new” bow I’ve bought in a long time. It’s an incredible piece of engineering.

I’ve bought and sold multiple bows on AT.

I usually buy a 1-2 year old Mathews flagship bow for around $700-$800

Same. I typically buy flagship bows for under $800 and either keep and use or flip.
