I shoot about a 10 year old High Country. I cant bring myself to go buy a new high dollar bow.
I kept on read'n just hope'n ther was another High Country fan on here, I've tried many brands since I started shoot'n back in the early 80s but after shoot'n a High Country it's like "oh yeah", my firts was a Safari that got bounced around in truck beds,dropped,shot constantly & never gave any trouble at all,none.
Matter of fact it was still in shoot'n shape when I gave it to my brother in law after I upgraded to a HC premier pro, the company has been threw some hard times but have resumed production & adding new new bows to the line up & from what I've read ther some serious shooters.
I'm hope'n I can buy a brand new bow this year (first brand new one in about 20 years) & you can bet its gonna be a High Country, and for me the big bonus is ther manufactured in Dulap Tenn. just down the mountain from me, just my way of supporting local business.

I upgraded this year from a Bear Kodiak to a Bear Carnage. Killed two this year with the Carnage. I have killed with both but now have the energy I need. Mid 80s bow doesn't compare with the new carnage. Probably won't buy another for 10 years.

I shoot a Mathews SQ2. Bought it brand new in 2001 and it is a sweet shooting bow. I have owned hoyts, pse, and bear. But when I shot this bow I had to have it. I would love to upgrade to a Helim. I shot that the other day and it was flat out awesome. Also shot the Hoyt Spider and thought it was a heck of a bow as well. I plan on upgrading soon to a newer Mathews. Just trying to save enough money to do so.

I like elites. Been shooting them for a few years. Even started selling them this year. If anyone wants to try one feel free to give me a shout.

All my Bow hunting life I had shot a PSE, and seemed to like them, that was until I bought a Mathews Z7. My shooting seemed to improve, as did my confidence. I could honestly tell the diffrence in several things shooting the Mathews over the PSE bows. I will keep the Z7 for a many of seasons.

I will say that some of the past year models from several companies are better than many of the current models . The latest and greatest model isn't always the best bow for each individual shooter .
Shop around , shoot a lot , and pick the bow you like based on your needs and specs.
