Bowtech Tribute
The Tribute made our testers shoot like tournament-caliber archers--even the "accuracy-challenged-¿ ones. That's what happens when a bow nails the ideal combination of speed and forgiveness.

At 31¿¿ inches, the Tribute is short but stable because of the 26-inch riser. The 13-inch limbs go beyond parallel at full draw. This not only increases speed and efficiency but eliminates hand shock and noise.

Bowtech's "binary cam system-¿ may be the biggest innovation. It's a two-cam setup that slaves the cams to each other so they never rotate out of tune. The cams come with two draw-length modules that let you choose between a smooth draw and more speed. This bow is so much fun to shoot that you will look forward to target practice. $700; 888-689-1289; bowtecharchery.com --A.L.
