I always see threads on bows people like, so here's one on bows you hate.
Here's mine.
PSE Omen. Worst draw cycle of any bow I've ever shot. I almost bought one of these sight unseen but decided to wait till I had a chance to shoot one. Boy!!! am I glad I did.
Pearson Python. 41 fps slower than advertised.
PSE Carrera. 37 fps slower than advertised and had so much hand shock and vibration that it would scare you.
Martin Jaguar with the single cam. The first day of shooting the finish started to flake off and fall like snow, the upper limb cracked and the bow shot 30 fps slower than advertised.

He's taken game in PA with it. I really did like the bow, but in truth I am a one cam guy and most likely always will be. The fit and finish on Elite bows is exceptional. |

1. PSE Silverhawk-'nuff said ;D 2. Hoyt Kobalt (sorry, BT, but it sucked a**). Feels like your shooting a slingshot. 'bout as fast as one, too (maybe). 3. Elite Judge. What a downer. One of the best looking bows on the market. The draw cycle was absolutely horrid.  |

Pearson Anaconda was hard to shoot and the shock was terrible
Mathews Outback they should've thrown it out back. It just didn't fit me.

Havent owned one I didnt like yet.
I will say that the PSE Omen has a VERY aggresive cam(what gives it the speed), but it sucks to draw it. I shot our PSE reps Omen at 62lb and would swear it was 70lbs. If Madoktor would get on here again, he can verify it. I let him draw it too and guess the poundage.... he guessed 70lb.

Worse draw cycle ever. |
