So its time for a new bow.......Im stuck in afghanistan for this season, but dammit i cant stop looking. So im saying screw it and treating myself to an early bday present. Considering the new Bowtech Assassin Black ops, Hoyt Carbon Matrix, or Matthews Z7

Those are all very nice bows.  I'd shoot all three and buy whatever you like best.  

Stay safe

Well if you aren't due back stateside before the end of the year just wait a little longer. The ATA show in January is going to reveal some pretty cool new stuff.  That means all the shit hot bows from this year will be dumped on the market and you can pick up either a really good used bow or buy something from the new line-ups.

I have the Z7 and Z7Xtreme and couldnt be happier, but first poster nails it.....Shoot all three and see which one fits YOU best.

I was thinking of looking into getting a assassin - price seems good for what your getting, but I havent been to the bow shop yet to check it out.

Agree on shooting them first, but I love my Assassin.  It shoots like a far more expensive bow.

I would check out elites 2012 lineup...I picked up a 2011 hunter and it is the sweetest bow I have shot this year.

He s right.   Otherwise you ll be paying top dollar for a bow that's a season old before you get to shoot it.  And a season old bow should drop in price big time!
Plus the 2012 s will be LEGG-(wait for it)-ENDARY!!

I keep lusting after the z7extreme but my Reezen is shooting so good I can't justify it.  Especially a few weeks before season.

Ill be home in Feb to try them all out. Trying to find one for the lady now so she doesnt miss too much more of the season.

Ive shot all 3 and like the Hoyt best then the Bowtech. But like mentioned before its all personal preference, just shoot them and see what you like. Oh and thanks for serving!

Thanks everyone for the comments and support. IIRC, looking to do some hunting in feb when im home, would really like to get some hogs with the bow if you know of any place local.

I'm sorry, can't believe I didn't see your post until now.  Did you get to do any hog hunting?
