I have made a list of some of the most popular compound bow brands. These are just personally my favorite 3 when it comes to compound bows. I have listed a basic summary of the company, a review, and a video of their best product. Enjoy :)
Matthews- Matthews is considered a very high end compound bow brand. It is basically the Bentley of compound bows. I have owned a few Matthews in my archery career and they were some of the finest bows I have ever shot. The only draw back would be the price. Definitely not something a beginner would get considering some of them go upwards of $1400. Their website even let's you build a bow which is a first in the industry. You are literally able to fully customize your bow for a small fee of zero dollars. I would take advantages of this for birthday and Christmas presents. The customer service is also very great.
PSE- PSE is known for providing quality compound bows on a budget. In the past their products have been somewhat on the poorer quality side, but they have definitely picked up the slack and are now producing very high quality bows for a fraction of the price of their competitors. I really like PSE because most of their bows came as packages and their bows make the perfect beginner bow. They also carry a lifetime warranty. This company has so many different models are constantly updating their designs to keep their bows as some of the best compound bows in 2014. From pink women bows to camo hunting bows, PSE has got you covered.
Diamond- Diamond has recently also become a huge player in the compound bow world. Their biggest product to date was the Diamond Infinite Edge. It really set the standard when it came to beginner bows. It allowed for a huge draw weight adjustment of 25-60 pounds which was unheard of at the time. It also had a very flexible draw length making it the ideal buy for archery schools and clinics. However, their great products don't stop there. They have released other models like the Lithium which can compete in every category when it comes to compound bow reviews. If you have been sleeping on Diamond it is time to wake up, as they are here to stay.
