![]() ![]() It’s one of those bows that feels lighter than its actual draw weight. You will not find a smoother drawing bow for the money than the Legend XR. Weight: 5.2 pounds (w/ sight and arrow rest).I’d suggest shooting it along with a PSE Drive NXT since they’re both in the same price range. It’s exciting to see a bow provide so much value, and if you’re looking to spend less than $1,000, you must try this bow at an archery shop. Our editor’s choice winner, the Elite Era, shot 271.5 fps and is more than twice the Terrain’s price. Like the accuracy test, we tested the budget bows with the same draw weight, draw length, and arrow as the flagships. Yet we measured the bow’s speed at 270 fps. Elite’s engineers have managed to hit the sweet spot between a bow that’s adjustable from 25.5 to 31.5 inches and has 15 pounds of adjustment. In the Stress Engineering tests, the Terrain was the quietest and had the least vibration of all the bows under $800.Ī lot of budget-orientated bows have a wide adjustment range, but that usually comes at the expense of performance and a smooth draw. The Terrain’s draw cycle is easy, the back wall is solid, and it doesn’t rattle when you shoot-all the makings of a fun bow. ![]() A bow that’s fun to shoot will be fun to practice with, which means you’ll be more prepared for bow season. An overlooked factor in buying a bow is how fun it is to shoot. It’s a similar grip that’s on Elite’s more expensive bows, and it promotes proper technique with very little torque. Derek HornerĪ major contributor to the accuracy was the fantastic grip. The Terrain’s grip and smooth draw helped us shoot good groups at 50 yards. So this $700 bow is hanging in there with a bow costing $500 more. Our biggest group average among the $800 and up category was the Bear Execute ($1,200), which had a 5.43-inch group average. We put the budget bows through the same accuracy test as the flagship bows, and the Terrain printed a respectable 5.9-inch group average at 50 yards. It also doesn’t feel like a budget bow as you draw it and shoot it, which is just as impressive. That’s because the fit and finish is on par with the best flagships we tested this year. If I didn’t know the Terrain’s price, I would have guessed it was around $1,000.
