    Don't know much about either so I am no help. Congrats on winning the new bow. I didn't stick around Bass Pro long enough to see who won at the store I visit.

    Congrats on the win...My suggestion would be try the new one and and then decide which you are more comfortable with.

    Good luck

    Only new bow I have shot is the creed and I highly recommend. I wish I could shoot many of the other new bows

    I have acutally owned a bear strike and its a great little bow, I primarily used it for bow fishing. Never shot or really seen a redhead bow but I know the proshop at bps have had nothing but good things to say about them, but then again its their job. A free bow is a free bow congrats on the rig.

    The Red Head bows are made by Diamond...atleast that is what BP told me. This look like nice bows. Congrats! It will kill a deer and thats all that matters.

    Yeah put them both in your hang and shoot them at the range, whichever feels better go with that. Just because someone likes one setup more doesn't mean that works best for everyone. When you have that deer walk by you, you want to be confident in the bow in your hand.

    The best way to tell what bow to keep is to shoot both and then decide from there. Lots of people have different preferences, that's why they make different kinds of bows
