i sold my old martin a little while back and i am now in the market for a new one. so i went to my buddies shop and try some out, i shot several different kinds several times, here is what i tried out today: <ul type="square"> hoyt----- xtec, razortec, and vipertec [/list] <ul type="square"> mathews----- legacy, Q2, and i can't remeber the other one [/list] <ul type="square"> martin----- razorX, prowler, slayr, cougar, and jaguar [/list] <ul type="square"> high country----- per-fx, max-xtreme, tss, triple s, and the new quad 4-runner [/list] here is my outlook on all of these. <ul type="square"> hoyt- amazing shooting bow, they were all fast, quiet, and accurate but i don't have a huge wallet and can't afford the name. [/list] <ul type="square"> mathews- once again shot excellent it was also fast, quiet and accurate but can't afford the name [/list] <ul type="square"> martin- shot fairly well, a little louder then the other then the mathews and hoyt but still a great bow and i've already had one and it's time for a change, so therfore not really what i am looking for. [/list]
  • then i shot the new high country bows and wow. you can't say enough about the new Quad 4-Runner. this bow is soooooooo freaking light it would blow your mind. this new carbon technology is amazing. the other high country bows were awesome too but this one topped all high country and other brands. i first picked up the bow and couldn't believe how light it was, it made all the others feel like they weighed 800 pounds. after i shot it i was amazed that it shot just as hard as any hoyt, mathews, or martin. i am really leaning towards this bow, it's a little picey at $569, but my friend told me he would sale it to me for around $399 after the 5 finger discount. he said he wouldn't be able to sale me a mathews or a hoyt that cheap because the mark-up on those 2 brand of bows is outrageous. they charge $120 per bow just for advertising. don't get me wrong i would love to have a hoyt or a mathews because i think that these would be a more durable bow, i liked them both extremely well. but right now i am leaning towards the high country quad 4-runner because i can get just as good of a bow just without the name and it comes with a life-time warranty. has anyone ever lifted the quad 4-runner or shot it? just curious? i will have to say one thing though when i first seen it i thought it looked like a sissy bow because it's really skinny but boy it really turned out to be a hog! some more input would be appreciated! thanx!:?archer1
 
never shot the new one but shot the carbon force extreme and i really liked it. it was one of those..."it just feels right" things.
 
It would be great to have someone else in the High Country Camp. They had a poll a few months ago about what brand of bow people shot, and at one time I was the only vote for HCA. I have heard a lot of negatives on their customer service. But after flaking off a small piece of the vibra-flex coating on one of my limbs, I sent it in and got all four new limbs and just paid shipping. No complaints here.
 
as you can tell i was very impressed with the Carbon 4-runner, but the rest of the HCA bows were awesome also, i don't think HCA is getting enough recognition in the bowhunting world. so far there the best i have shot for the money, get twice the bow for a lot less money.

great bow though, my brother in law has one.
 
If your wallet is light, then you should be able to carry a 1975 Martin Lynx that I could sell ya, Remember its not the bow its the guy behind it.. Granted I can only allow a max 15 yd shot with out the wind taking over, but I've harvest deer with it...Oh yeah it has a custom sight on it too! A bent 3 inch finishing nail secured by duct tape...

sounds great alaskan. how much you want for it? what color is it florescent orange and pink? does it sound like a shotgun going off? is 65 inches axle to axle?

I purchased a Matthews Q2 three years ago from a dealer here in SE Kansas, he sells some of his matthews with a my money/your money deal -- for fifty dollars extra he'll order a customer a bow for his cost. My Q2 cost $499. I don't know how many Matthews dealers are willing to do this. I know of two down this way. By the way, I'm pretty impressed with the high country bows, but I love my matthews...
 
i also shot the high country but i did not like the way it fit in my hand but i thought it shot great if your light on funds try a alpine or a mcpherson both great bows i settled on the mathews outback. good luck there are a lot of great bows out there
