ReadHead Bows??

I have a Jennings Buckmaster 2000. A new string is impossible to find, so I'm considering trading it in. I noticed that Bass Pro has several bows on clearance. I've compared prices and found the Redhead Compounds to be affordable and they have great reviews; however, I would like some reviews for BH members. Has anyone here used a Redhead bow, or know anyone that does?

 

I shot the the Kryptik Pro (I think that wasd the name) last year and I nearly purchased it. I believe those bows are manufactured by BowTech. Someone else on here might be able to confirm that? Make sure you shoot it before you make a rush decision, though!

 

what about the weight difference? My BuckMaster 2000 is heavery then the new bow on the market. with such little time left will the light weight bow take some getting used to?

 

I would just add a 10" to 14" stab with some weight on the end if your worried about it.

 

I shoot the Redhead XPS 32 it is 5 years old and I love it. I love all of the Redhead bows.

 

I have heard on more than one occasion that they are made by Bowtech. Haven't heard anything bad about them to date. It was one of the first bows I thought about buying. That was before I shot the Hoyt Rampage XT though. That will be the bow I purchase next year.

 

There's a few of them that have proven to be great bows. Lots of deer fall every year to box store special run bows. Bowtech does make a few of their models.

 

BowTech does make these. I worked the BP Fall Classic a couple of weeks ago on behalf of Diamond/Octane and boy did we sell a LOT of those Blackout and Toxik packages..........really great bows for the $$$$.

 

Thanks everyone. I beleive I might just give one a whirl. Or at least I'll fire it first. good luck this year.

 

Can't believe you can't find a string. Both pro shops here in town keep them in stock because there is a ton of people who shoot them. I went into one of the stores and he had 3 hanging on the wall to get new strings put on. If you would like I could go by and see where they get them from. Although I guess that is a good excuse to get a new bow.

 

I have a Redhead Kronik that I bought a few years back. It is made by Diamond/Bowtech and it is a great little bow for $400 (with accessories). I have shot three deer with it. It has a very short ATA and is very light. It's not a speed demon, but it is very quiet.

The only problem is that I think you could find a better bow for this price without the accessories. If you have accessories you might be better off looking at a higher end used bow or a closeout.
