Or, this subject WOULD have started a fist fight back in the old days.
Been out of the game and didn't even follow the ATA show this year.
Current bow (NO, I don't have any sponsors, nor am looking them, lol) Obsession Evolution.
As you all know, I have shot Obsession for the last few years because I like the feel of the draw cycle, firm backwall, and they just seem to shoot for me.
Of the new offerings (from any company) what are the top bows this year that would be similar?
SOHI

If the Athens bows could hit ibo numbers they would be top choice......but........
They are still the best drawing bow I have shot this year. And accurate.

I think I am just going to pick up a 2015 model something for the right price. A e32 or something along those lines for 600 or so loaded to get me out there this year... saving to buy a house. adulting sucks.

Oh and I got glasses a few weeks ago, turns out my A$$ was pretty blind, curious to see how it affects my groups and spotting some brown in the thick.

Shooting the same KS designed bow I shot last yr. expedition X6, best shooting bow for me. The ATR is a piece of junk, the only flaw with the bow but with the cable slide conversion I made for it, it's about as perfect to me as a bow can get.

But I have a 2016 X7 and a 2017 SS and neither shows signs of cable wear from the ATR. I found out that Xped recommends the Scorpion Venom string lubricate. But I really don't think that is a big cable saver. I think there were good ATR 's and bad, and I just got lucky.......

I liked the evolve 31, the 35 was way to unwieldy for me. The Gx2 has an ibo of 335. I can get that out of it however it would take setting the stops shorter then I like it. The draw stop slots have a huge range of travel.

IMO the GX2 is the nicest bow NB has ever made.

Nice thing about my conversion is no serving needed on the cables and no lubrication needed either. If you ever start having problems with cable wear let me know and i'le fix you up with a slide conversion.

Thanks. Gordy! The Athens did show cable wear after only 100 shots or less. It used a basic guide like many other brands, but something was different. It started to wear on the down cable quickly. I had bought a PSE roller guide along with the bow. After installing it, cable wear stopped.......a good $30 investment!
