For the last 15 years, says Slaton L. White of Field and Stream, the magazine’s editors have selected gear, based on personal use, that they thought exhibited superior quality and function. The Bowtech Experience is the 2013 Best of the Best Hunting Bow, as reported by Scott Bestul.

“With a redesigned riser and a 7-inch brace height, the Experience sports all the attributes of a great hunting bow—a pleasant draw cycle, terrific balance, and a rock-solid back wall. Even more impressive, with Overdrive Binary Cams and Carbon Core limbs, it was among the fastest in the test (291 fps), yet dead-in-the-hand at the shot. Savvy bowhunters demand a quiet bow, and this one, with an innovative assortment of dampening technologies, delivered the goods. The FLX-Guard cable containment system absorbs torque and improves tunability.”
