Best/most enjoyable older compound bows

[Trial153]

I wouldn’t mind to have an Elite z28 hanging the hooks I my bow room again …

I had a Reflex Express that I could shoot really well. Probably the most accurate bow I have ever fired. I should have never sold it.

Still enjoying my first bow, a PSE Nova from the 1990s

I remember as a boy my uncle shot a Damon Howatt Warthog. Must have been in the late 70s

I always reminisce about a bow I used to have. The Mathews Halon X. I just remember it being so sweet to shoot and don’t know why I sold it. I’ve thought about buying a used one, but wonder if that memory would hold up to what I shoot now. A lot has changed since then and it may just not be as sweet when I’ve been shooting the new bows.

I’m sure you’d love whatever bow you buy. Practice with it and enjoy. But if you want to be content with it, don’t shoot the new stuff.

I love a comfortable draw with a rock solid back wall. One that aims great and holds with little float. Never cared about what people worry about in “hand shock” but maybe I just don’t remember what that was. I know my Arc 34 just sits there after the shot and produces next to nothing in the hand. I don’t think I could go back.

I'm still shooting the VW Beetle of Mathews bows, the No-Cam (Slo-Cam) HTR. I love it. Total confidence in my accuracy when hunting.

I paid $450 with single pin sight, QAD rest, Arrow Web quiver, some stabilizers that I ditched and Mathews SKB case. Original owner was obviously devastated by his chrono results.

Always wanted to try that one. I bet it's smooth. If yours is the VW of Bows mine must be a Packard.
