2007 Bows In Review

16. KODIAK OUTDOORS
New for 2007 is Kodiak's 33" Nomad. This bow has Vapor Trail strings wrapped around an all new Hybrid S-4 Cam & 1/2 system. A reflexed riser and 6.62" brace height contribute to this bow's 318 fps. Draw lengths on the Nomad are specific to the archer with a half-inch adjustment.

The Titan 32 and 34, fitted with the S-2 single cam and parallel limbs, produce speeds just over 300 fps. The single S-Cam remains the heart of Kodiak's two veteran models, the Bow Logic 32 and 34.

17. LONE WOLF
The Lone Wolf himself, Andrae D'Acquisto, has broken from the treestand-making pack to introduce a single, no-nonsense bow. The Lobo employs a unique riser design that somewhat mimics D'Acquisto's treestand geometry, and it is coated with urethane to dampen vibration and noise. As of this writing, the color is dark gray. This bow is so new not all the details were available. However, at 35" in length, the Lobo has a brace height of 7.25" and 75% letoff.

The Lobo's riser, limbs, and patented hybrid cam system emphasize accuracy and forgiveness first, followed by penetrating arrow speed. If you crave an easy draw and consistent accuracy under the "hot lights" of real hunting situations, the Lobo could be your bow.

18. MARTIN ARCHERY
A flagship bow doesn't always have to be the most expensive or technology-laden model. It could simply be the best value. Martin Archery recognizes that concept with its best-for-the-money Bengal.

This 32" bow takes advantage of Martin's new modular riser design consisting of three parts. Each part is machined separately, which improves precision and reduces machining time and cost. The Bengal is a parallel limb bow powered by the new single M-Pro Cam. The 7" brace height offers enough of a power stroke to put out 310 fps IBO. That's a lot of bow for about $400!

If you prefer a shorter bow, look at the Cheetah at 30.5". Want a longer bow? Check out the Pantera, a new model in the Pro Series that measures 35" in length and uses the single M-Pro Cam to zip arrows along at 310 fps. That's just a sniff of the options at Martin Archery.

19. MATHEWS
For 2007, Mathews introduces its exciting new SlimLimb technology. The SE3 composite limbs are only 1.1" wide, compared to the standard limbs at 1.5" wide. Significantly reducing weight, this is more than a cosmetic alteration. The new Drenalin weighs only 3.85 lbs., and because the narrower profile extends all the way past the new Limb Turrets to the SphereLock Pivoting Limb Lock System, the Drenalin has a very sleek overall look.

That's not all. This bow combines its 33" length with a 7" brace height and the Straightline perimeter-weighted Drenalin Cam to zip arrows along at 320 fps. Of course, the Drenalin also features Mathews innovations like parallel-limb design, Harmonic Dampers, Roller Guard, and String Suppressors.

For young archers, check out Mathews' first youth bow, the Ignition. This single-cam bow has String Suppressors, sculpted wood grip, composite limbs, machined Aeroriser, and Zebra Hybrid bowstring. Draw lengths range from 22"-26", draw weights from 20 - 50 lbs. The hunting model comes dressed in Realtree Hardwoods HD.
