It might. I've seen the year or two old marked down some. I got that solution ss for 150$ off but still brand new.Does that mean v3 prices will go down?
Ah good to know, I figured there's probably more I just happened to see this one and it looked the most different than current with the "extra" limbs. I will not be buying a flagship bow any time soon, 'll be sticking with my Bear cruzer for a bit, or my HC mini. Next is a trad bow to complete the beginner set lol.It might.

Also @thedutchtouch , Elite, Darton, PSE, bowtech have released the next generation bows so far. I heard hoyt should be anytime and Prime might be bumped to DEC ( no, it's not a problem. I can't find any deer but that's not the bows fault )
So did Bear actually. I think Martin too. Trad will probably be next up for me too!Ah good to know, I figured there's probably more I just happened to see this one and it looked the most different than current with the "extra" limbs.

8 limbs…. Nope.
New stabilizer mounting is ridiculous. Need Mathews $270 stabilizer to utilize it. Also, just the side bar mount is $200!
Sounds like they ran out of ideas.
Next year when Bowtech brings the timing lock feature to hunting bows I might give them a try again. In the meantime my current bow suits me just fine.
I'd rather buy the V3X than the Phase 4 I think. Seems like a bunch of gimmicks to me.
All the supposed innovation the last 10 years in bows is all smoke and mirrors. They're the same thing over and over. Nothing's wrong with my Bowtech Insanity for 10 years now.
All the innovation is in crossbows. They make leaps and bounds every year since Ravin forced everyone to innovate
Could be. I don't have one. But you can see how competitors like 10pt sat on their laurels til Ravin came along. They def nudged the industry way forward for better or worseI hear Ravin has a lot of law suits. They maybe innovated in too many leaps.

Which bows have timing lock?Ah…. The Mathews switchweight was innovative I guess. For manufacturing and retailer purposes. All they need to do is order 1 base bow and they can change out mods for weight and DL changes. But…. Mathews is milking that one.
IMO opinion the only one that really brought innovation to market in the compound bow arena was Bowtech. The dead lock cam really innovated left/right adjustments. Made shimming and yoke tuning obsolete. Very smart… now the new timing lock on the cams you can take care of a stretched cable or perfect your bow timing with the twist of a wrench. No longer need a bow press for tuning those bows. Simply and easy….. pure genius…
RAVIN really did flip the stagnant crossbow market. 100% agree with that one.
I agree. Bows have reached the point of diminishing returns over the last several years. My 2009 compound bow is nearing its third dozen of animals killed (36). My average shot distance for all those animals over the last 14 seasons is exactly 20 yards. It has taken a variety of animals (moose, bear, elk, deer) across 8 different states. At no point over the last 14 seasons would a “new and shiny” bow have resulted in any different outcome on any single hunt. The new bows are insignificantly faster and the draw cycles may appear to be “so much smoother to some”…...but the reality is this - it’s not the bow.All the supposed innovation the last 10 years in bows is all smoke and mirrors.

Which bows have timing lock?
Unrelated but found a goof on the Bowtech site. Checking the One for that timing lock. It says diamond ( I know BT makes diamond but this is your 3 years in the making carbon offering)View attachment 76063
The adjustment on the grip angle is pretty cool on those too. I don't think it's earth shaking innovation but neat
You can bet Enkriss is first in linegot this in my email this morning. Tethrd FAS pack release. I don't see it listed on their site yet but it implies that it will be available for order starting on 11/25.
