If you’re shopping for a compound bow, then you need to know which ones are the best and which ones you can skip over. We’ll give you a few tips on the best compound bows available right now and you can decide for yourself which one you want. We’ll look at the options from Hoyt, BowTech, and Mathews.
Hoyt offers some very high-quality compound bows these days. Both the Maxxis and the Carbon Matrix models are very, very good. The problem with the Carbon Matrix is its price tag; it retails at over $1000. The Maxxis is available in 31″ and 35″ axle-to-axle sizes and uses a machined riser, which is sturdier and more reliable than some cast risers. Many archers praise the Maxxis for good balance and low vibration.
The BowTech Destroyer is a clear contender for best compound bow available right now. It comes in both 340 and 350 models, distinguished by the feet-per-second ratio as recorded by the IBO (International Bowhunting Organization). These numbers make the BowTech Destroyer one of the fastest bows on the market. The latest models have some upgrades to get rid of old issues, making this one of your best options for value and quality.

Mathews humbly offers us the incredible Z7. According to recent sales figures, the Z7 is Mathews’ most popular bow of all time. Archers everywhere are praising its superior smoothness, weight, and balance. It has a 30″ axle-to-axle length and the IBO records speeds up to 333 feet per second, making it a contender with the Destroyer for some of the fastest bows on the market.
The Mathews Z7 is probably the best compound bow money can buy right now, but you’ll need to decide for yourself what sort of bow you want, based on your shooting style and what you intend to use it for. What will it be? A Hoyt Maxxis 31 or 35? The pricey Carbon Matrix? The quick BowTech Destroyer? Or the all-around Mathews Z7? Or maybe you just want to use these as guidelines to tell you what each company offers, so you know which lines you want to follow for a beginner’s bow. It’s up to you. |
