I took a lesson the other day and was really pleased with the results. One thing that I realized and was noted is that having a bow with a good back wall would be very beneficial. I've shot a Bowtech Experience and Assassin and liked them both but was curious of what other bows have a great back wall? I'm still fairly new to all of this and currently shoot an Alpine Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
I have an Elite 35 and Obsession Addiction. In my opinion they both have nice walls. Great shooting bows!
This is one of my problems. I just haven't gone out and shot bows from different companies. I have shot 3 bows since I picked up the addiction. 2 PSE and 1 Bear. I have 'settled' on a go to bow, the Energy 32. But first, I want to go out and shoot many other bows. Matthews, Hoyt, Bowtech and Diamond just to name a few. Get a general feel for other bows and then make my decision. How does the Alpine feel, Myway?
Alpine feels okay but doesn't really have a wall and find myself jerking when settling on shot. I'm shooting well but would like a solid wall. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Elites are known for their backwalls. It almost feels like you have to push it forward to get it to let down.
I agree, I love my Elite, and when you get back it feels so effortless that you can relax. I don't think I'm going to be able to get rid of it. Sent from my IPhone 5S.
I also agree. One of the many reason why I went with the Energy 35. Very effortless to hold at full draw for any amount of time.
As a general rule, any bow with limb or cable stops will have a good back wall. Some are better than others though. I like the Elites and Hoyt Z5 cams back wall.
Do yourself a favor and shoot an Obsession. Solid back wall, absolutely dead in hand, and as smooth of a draw as it gets. 60 lbs. feels like 50. I had and Elite Energy 35 before my Phoenix and thought it had a smooth draw but the Obsession is even smoother. Back walls are the same so if you can't shoot an Obsession, I'd find an Elite.
I did shoot the instructors New Breed with a crazy good back wall also. Just trying to figure out what all I should be looking at Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
My Hoyt Vectrix had a slightly spongey back wall.... My HeliM has a much improved back wall... Still not many compare to Elite. It was weird to even get used to when shooting one haha.
Both of my Bowtech's are pretty solid. The only Elite I have shot was a Hunter and it was pretty good too.
My Bowtech Assassin has a SOLID back-wall...almost hard to let down if you don't shoot it. I've had other bows that were a little smoother, but all of them had some 'creep' in the back-wall. Assassin seems to be a great bow for the price.
Yeah, now that I am used to my Elite I went and shot a Hoyt about a week ago. It felt very spongy. Just a total different feel to it.
