What is your 2013 hunting bow?

[shaun]

I dont know if after seeing results I can say I turned to the dark side or say I finally saw the light

Honestly skip the chill! It's a piece! Go more the direction if the Creed in the Mathews Line.

Hey Hey Hey lol. I like the Chill. Shoots damn good for me haha.

Well you can't just go on saying that without any kind of reasoning behind it! I have shot both the Creed and the Chill and I definately liked the chill a lot more as far as shootability... So what's you're reasoning for calling the Chill a "piece?"

Mainly b/c I think that Mathews shot themselves in the foot with it. First off why would you build a $500 price point bow in your Mission line that is BETTER as a whole than its twin in the Mathews line at twice the price. I feel like the Ballistic has a better back wall, smoother more consistent draw cycle, and a great weight range to accommodate a greater variety of shooter.

The Chill is just a lighter Ballistic. I STRONGLY DISLIKE (HATE) the MR/MONSTER series from mathews as a technician and as a backcountry hunter. Heavy (which I am glad the Chill isn't), to me feels torquey on the 6 and under. I don't feel like they have the back wall that a binary cam bow SHOULD...ROCK SOLID. If I was shooting a mathews this year it wouldn't be a Chill.

My 2 cents.

Currently a 10+ yr old Hoyt something or other. About this time each year I keep thinking about changing but it continues to serve me well. I was told this fall it should be in the smithsonian, as it is a relic. Currently looking at the Mathews Conquest 4 as my next finger bow.

This year I will be using my 2012 Heli-m. I got this past summer. It has not seen any action yet, so it is time to see what it can do.

I too wish it had a better back wall, cant argue that. But for me I can just shoot that bow good and that's what I'm after, accuracy. Lots of great bows out that I like this year but the Chill is what I shoot best so that's why I picked it over the Creed.

I just switched from a 70# monster 7.0 to a hoyt vector 32 @ 80# and I think the hoyt is smoother, quieter, and more accurate. I loved my monster till I picked up a hoyt!

My Mathews Switchback is still going strong. Like some others, I look every spring at the new bows that come out and think I need a new one, but my Switchback still works great.

Dang it, I'm gonna have to break down and buy a new Carbon Matrix or Spyder Turbo I guess....Just gotta figure out which one, really leaning towards another Matrix.

Went from a Hoyt Vector Turbo last year to a Spyder 34 for this year.

 

[Nick Muche]

I am just glad I don't shoot a Mathews

 

[WonkyWapiti]

Hoyt Alphamax 32. It keeps taking down elk so no reason to change.
