Even Bowtechs stock strings will stay in tune after the initial settling in to the cams
Again Shane I wasn't dissing anything bowtech. Good strings won't really stretch and octane strings are pretty good.

upgrading every year just doesnt make much sense to me. would be nice but cant justify paying top dollar for anything. wait a year and save hundreds of dollars. that new hoyt has been tempting me though....

I agree with you IT....I did that this year and it hurt my pocket pretty good lol. I'm still trying to bounce back from it. And, to add to my pain, my Spyder Turbo still hasn't arrived yet :( and I ordered it in Dec.

It is no doubt! I shot the model the Hoyt dealer brought with him. At the time I was leaning towards the Mathews Chill. I actually liked the feel of that bow alot....but once I shot the Spyder it was game over lol!

Lets us know how you like it when you get it.
Sure thing...I totally intend too :)
My new Mathews Chill should be here any day! :)
Jen, choosing between the Chill & the Spyder Turbo was the HARDEST decision I've every had to make when it comes to choosing a bow for myself. I've been shooting bows off & on for a nice portion of my life and never owned anything but a Hoyt....but the Chill really had me second guessing...ALOT! lol

As much as I would like to get a new one, cause I do like new toys, my 2012 Obsession Lethal Force just feels to good to retire. She'll be getting some new threads and be doing the killin' for at least another season. Possibly a new dip job to so she still feels loved.:)

I shot the Lethal Force last year an will be with Obsession Bows for the foreseeable future! Their bows are hands down the best I have shot. I will say, the new Obsession Sniper LT is the bow to have over the Lethal Force for the back country. I was able to shoot the Sniper LT side by side against the New Hoyt Spider 30 and the carbon Element yesterday. There is no comparison. The Obsession is far superior in every aspect, except brand awareness. Obsession is the game changer.

I own the Sniper to, and for me I still like the Lethal force for the backcountry. I just like the little longer ATA and the down range stability it gives me. That said, the LT is one wicked little bow. Great shooter! September can't get here quick enough. I'll hopefully give her a helping of turkey here in a month though. LOL.

How similar is the Obsession to an Elite? I have a GT500 looks a lot like but haven't held the an Obsession either.
In the draw cycle, they are very similar. Both very smooth with a nice transition. The walls are rock solid on both due to the draw stops. The Obsession is quieter. The main differences would be the Obsession uses a split limb and the grips are noticeably different. I like the grip better on the Obsession. They both have killer warranties and great finishes. Both are using quality threads to. The new Elites use winners choice, the Obsessions are using America's Best Bowstrings in 8190. Both are great bows. If you like Elite, you will more than likely be impressed with the Obsessions' as well.

Hulk is here...bringing the party to him!





FINALLY! Just got it about 3 hours ago so setup hasn't even really begun. To give you an idea of how excitied I was when I got it in my hands......decided to draw it out of pure joy right. So, as I'm midway into the draw the drawstring slips from my fingers (was drawing with three fingers) and dry fires :eek: At this point I'm scared to death to look at my cams! And, all that is going on in my mind is OMG! not out the box 5 freaking minutes and I've busted my cams lol! Luck was on my side today as nothing happened other than having to repair the drawstring which really doesn't matter because it was being replaced anyway lol! Whew!
