Bowtech Proven 34 Thoughts

[Birdman88]

Just curious if anyone has one in their hands yet? Pros and Cons? Been shooting a bowtech experience with no complaints. Just thinking about and upgrade this year.

Loved my SS34. Probably the best shooting bow I’ve owned. Perfect bow for shooting 3d and hunting. To me there isn’t enough updated on the proven to not buy a barely used SS34 for $700.

I won a Lift in a raffle so I sold my ss34 for dirt cheap to a young guy getting started. Definitely wish I still had it.

Good to know. I’ll take a look at those. I’ve been out of archery completely the last 5 years with work and raising 4 young boys. It’s amazing how many products have been introduced in those few years. I’m lost and just trying to sort it all out hahaha. I appreciate the input

Man I wouldn't sweat make or manufacturer too much. I'm in a similar boat but with only 2 kids - value is my top priority. What I did was get a leftover new Prime bow at a discount. These comes with a lifetime warranty and free strings and cables for life.

I get that. Like bump79 said, they’re all good right now for the most part. I cruise archerytalk daily and the classifieds are loaded with barely used 1-2 year old bows. It’s hard to go wrong with any of them.

Timberline nailed it.

I picked up a used bow tech CP30 for $600 a couple of months ago and I love it. First new bow since my 2012 Hoyt. Will keep the Hoyt as backup, still like shooting it.

Great bow.

Pros:
Great draw
Grip (my favorite)
Nice hold

Cons:
A little noisy compared to other flagships
Heavier weight than I prefer
A little slow

Just my opinion in comparison to the other 2025 flagships
