So most of the industry is gearing up to release their new 2014 models in a few weeks. Elite and Bear have already released theirs. What are you hoping to see in the new 2014 bows?

I know Hoyt has a new hunting bow coming out, but can't say anything more. The prototypes have put a few animals down this year. It will be a big seller.

Id like to see them finally make a carbon riser speed bow. I think that would sell much better than the Element and Matrix.

I am not upgrading this year. I finally found the bow. I already saw pses 14 models and they are nice. The elites were meh, find it hard Levi would go to them for those bows but its his choice. Hoyt's should be interesting, and how it rivals the carbon knight. Bowtech has me curious, I wonder if they are releasing a carbon flagship. I think they will release and new OD binary cam. But it's finally nice I am not spending a big chunk of change on a bow this year.

I would hope that PSE gets rid of the torque screws on their bows. Such a PIA. And I would like to see them beef up the draw module post on their rotating mods. Seen one to many of those get sheared off from just regular shooting. And last gripe would be to strengthen the teflon piece on their flexible cable slide. They tend to split to easily.

Im cashing in a 2013 Elite Pure. Hear great Reviews on the energy but my local shop is really giving me a big discount on Their 2013 Elite. And I love the Pure.

I still want a 2013 hunter. I want a bow near 33" ata.

Not to often do people talk about bows blowing up and say they'll stick with bowtech.

Always interested in what Hoyt will come out with. I've shot them since I started bowhunting. I'd like to see a carbon speed bow and a little more solid back wall. I'm also very interested in what Prime will have. The Impact felt awesome, super smooth and rock solid back wall in my opinion. Maybe a touch lighter and faster for this year.

I hope everyone jumps all over the 2014 bows so I can get a good deal on a 2013.. ;) I'm an Elite fan.. Just sort of started there and have not had a compelling reason to jump brands.

The new elites are probably awesome shooting bows but with my short draw length I was really hoping for something over 340fps. I'll probably be sticking with my 2010 elite judge.

Would like to see a Bowtech with carbon riser and OD binary cams. Would like to see some sort of Flexible Cable Guard/Roller Guard system on the Hoyts. I bought a 2013 Element recently so won't be getting a new one for a year or two. I've also learned the hard way, stay away from all of the new technology for at least a year. If you don't you are paying to be a beta tester and won't be happy.

You must forget pse's are made right in Arizona in the USA.

With the issues described with the pses, I haven't had 1 issue with my DNA. I don't see how those mods move. My DNA has been flawless. I don't see where these issues come from unless you don't check your bow or tighten the screws down for the mods tight enough. And no loctite here.
