Ok, I am interested to hear who has shot what and what the did and didnt like about the bows they have shot so far! So far I have only shot the new Pse Supra Max. I will say I like the improvements to the Supra, the new limb pocket is very nice looking and a huge improvement over the last pocket they were using and still use on some bows. The one new revision I wasnt too fond of right off turned out to be an awesome upgrade and that was the new flex cable slide. Yes other builders are using this but Pse stayed with their patents and kept the amont of tourque applied by the cable rod adjustable! So you have the ability to adjust for fletching clearance and to get the strings out of the sight window...pretty slick! I will be shooting the new Pse Drive and the DNA today and I will give everybody an update! So what have you shot so far this year?
At the end of last week i actually shot my first few 2013 bows... Only took a few shots with hoyt's carbon element g3 and the spyder 35. Gotta say the carbon bows from hoyt are the same as last years, just with different dampeners on the limbs..couldn't really tell the difference between the '12 and '13 models... But that's just me! Im sure there are ppl out there that say the 2013 models of the bows are waaay better, haha. Also got to shoot the mathews creed. Personaly like the heli-m more. Too me it just feels better, and even the owner of the mathews bow shop said he's still sellin more heliu-ms than creeds, cause the custumors dont like the split limbs... Will have to tryout the new bowtech rig in january, pumped about that one!
I had a Heli-M all season and went to the Creed. The Creed is smoother and faster and has a nicer wall then the Heli-m its all preference ofcourse but alot of people are buying the Helim cause its cheap now and cause the weight but honestly I had both and hunted with both now and the Creed is the bow I also picked up some speed my Heli-m was 272fps on the Chrono 27/70 with a 350gr Blue Streak and the Creed was 290fps.. But again it all depends I also shot the ZXT which was very nice and the new Elites were very very nice aswell... The next bow I shot I bought as a back up and that was the Mission Ballistic man was it smooth and fast and at a great price I took one for a backup
Creed is actually slower then the Helim. IBO rating on the Mathews site has the Helim about 4fps faster then the Creed. Your setups are off between the two bows quite a bit to get that much difference between them. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
IBO ratings is a marketing tool.. Neither those bows reaching 320's fps... And why would my setups be off both bows bought from the same shop both bows tuned by the same guy and both bows chrono'ed on the same chrono same arrows same everything.. That was the difference.
But he has almost 7000 posts, he must be correct. *sarcasm off That ibo/fps marketing gimmick is a joke. None of those bows really acheieve those "rated" speeds. Thanks for posting your "real world" experience.
IBO/FPS stats are correct, however they are only for a certain setup. For example, 30" DL, #70, arrow of a certain weight. All of these listed speeds and stats are labeled with an asterisk stating what specs will shoot an arrow that fast. Changing them a little here or there will change the specs.

Great choice on the missionh ballistic as a backup! I cant believe how great that bow performs for that price! I have shot it quit a bit, and i gotta say it performs great. Using that as a back up is almsot a waste cause to me it out performs a lot of high end, high priced bows, haha. Great bow!
