    This is my 2011 Bowtech Invasion and it sooooooo sick. I have owned a few bows over the years but this bow is BEYOND anything I could have imagined. I officially took it the other day for some shootin practice and the results were incredible. I have NEVER been able to shoot past 30 yds even remotely accurately, heck even 30 yds was a challenge that took forever with my old bow to be able to hit a 6" pie plate. WELL I took the Invasion out and like I said it left me in amazement, I set my target on an open SAFE field 35 yds away and started shooting, I could not believe the groups I was getting, EASILY could hit that pie plate, I then moved back to 40 yds the furthest I have ever shot in my life and THIS is what I ended up with. I am telling you all The Bowtech Invasion IS the real deal, I am NOT a spokesperson for them nor am I "brand" junky, I shoot what I like and what feels comfortable. The arrows are CX Maxima Blue Streak Selects, and they are also SOOOO sick. Here are the pics.

    I like it. It stops my arrows nicely and it did t break the bank which is always a plus.

    I really like the looks of your bow, and think your shooting is very good...but make no mistake, you are the reason for the groups. New bows are all very nice, and offer alot of advantages, but there are still alot of guys who cannot shoot em worth a dang. give yourself a little credit, good luck in the coming season...

    Southernfryedyanky, I just noticed you are from Rock Hill, SC. I live and own an Archery range about an hour from you. I am located up 77 between Statesville, NC and Salilsbury, NC. Nice to see another Carolinian on here.

    No, I live right next to my sons elementary school, so I go there sometimes on weekends when nobody is out there and I have the whole field safely to myself.

    I used to shoot a Bowtech Tribute and I was horrible with it, I then went to an Elite Z28 and it was nice but wanted more speed, traded the Z for a GT500 and it was REEEEAL nice THEN shot the Invasion and it was love at first release.

    Im telling you till now it is the most amazing bow I have ever shot, it was so awesome that I didnt even try shooting a Destroyer 350 I got my hands on but sold before I could shoot it. I have a problem with OCD and for as much as I LOVE my invasion the D350 is still in the back of my mind of maybe I should have shot it just so I know that I made the right choice. It sucks being me..
