Anyone shoot one? I'm looking for general impressions of how it shoots and any problems anyone may have had with it.
The Tribute is the front runner in my new bow search so far, but due to a 3 week backorder at my favorite archery shop I have not had a chance to shoot one yet.

I havent shot one but I heard that people that buy one often wish they bought a mathews.  Is it a tribute to mathews ?Just kidden bro. I havent heard any negatives about bowtech bows. They are one of the top bow manufacturers so if you like how it shoots you should be happy. Have you taken the xt challenge ? |

The Tribute isn't bad, for a Blowtec. Still has too much handshock for me and that blowtec "TWANG" on the shot. Those fellers that bought them wishin they had bought a Mathews should of shot a new Hoyt Trykon XL.  This ain't your Daddy's BOW? Heck no it ain't Daddy's smart, he shoot a HOYT! Git-R-Done Fuzzy |

We sold several this year along with the XT's. Both are very good bows, The Tribute is very quiet and the bows we setup did not have any hand shock. And was on average 10- 15 fps faster the the XT. If it feels good to you than buy it.

That's funny about the Mathews, my archery shop had several Switchbacks that had been traded in on Tributes. I have never liked the way any of the Mathews bows feel so a Switchback is not even in consideration. I may give a Hoyt or a Ross a try but more than likely my new bow will be a Bowtech of some kind. I shot most of last year's models and loved them, but the Tribute looks even better on paper. Hopefully, I will get to shoot one soon. |

I have a Tribute and love it!! I shot the the Tribute, XT, and the Trykon. The tribute was the best by far. The Mathews just feels awkard and I beleive I could have made a better bow myself when it comes to the Trykon.

I shoot a Bowtech Liberty and it is great(I belive it is a Diamond now), the local archery shop has been selling quite a few of the Tributes. Good luck..

I finally got to shoot a Tribute and that was enough to sell me on it. I also shot a Ross, a Pearson and a couple of other Bowtech's/Diamonds but the Tribute felt the best.

Bowtech is building a great bow! After shooting one and selling them for a few years now it is without a doubt the bow that I would choose if I had my choice among bows.
Give them some time to get over these new company growing pains and I'm willing to bet that a great product get even better.
