Can not believe how smooth this thing is to shoot. Its comfortable and a blast to shoot. This thing is fast. There is no vibration in this thing once fired.

Bow was advertised as a 60 lb bow but was actually a 70lb now which had been set at 55 lbs which is not recommended by manufacturer had to order new limbs as a result which cost $200 dollars. Not happy about this Dr Correll

I am an experienced archer - not a professional and owned many bows including 2 PSE X-force speed bows. The Destroyer 350 is superior AND MORE FORGIVING than any bow with comparable axle length and speed. Its pure joy! But you will need disciplined form and comfortable poundage to shoot it well. 1. Its perfectly balanced - it rolls forward off the hand without a heavy stabiliser. 2. Its super quiet and super fast and very light. 3. DEADLY ACCURATE with reasonable form. 4. Its a synchronised cam system with twin yokes! And thats simply unbelievable! NOTHING beats twin yokes for adjusting and offsetting side pressure caused by cable guards. All manufacturers have been plagued by this type of torque induced limb twist. I have returned single yoke bows with excessive cam lean and put up with others that simply wont paper tune satisfactorily, sending arrows wiggling down range. (I currently have a another bow with its centre-shot pulled in towards the riser). Cam lean is the enemy of X-ring accuracy. So why dont all bows have twin yoked cams? Because until Bowtech designed the Destroyer twin yokes were awful for maintaining cam timing (without frequent bow pressing). This is why most bows are single yoke hybrids or yokeless binarys (slaved cams) which more or less stay in time, but very difficult to eliminate cam lean. Until the Destroyer gave us the best of both worlds! The Destroyer gives me all the benefits of a twin yoke system with the rock solid timing of a binary system. INGENIOUS! Theyve geared the cams to the axles so they cant get out of sync, allowing both cables to be yoked. And it works a treat. For me the Destroyer tuned straight down the middle of the riser, shot bullet holes through paper and has absolutely zero cam lean. I put on a TruGlo sight and set the 10 metre pin and squashed up all the other pins - no pin gap. Then I walked back and I swear the truth - I shot the same 2 cm dot at 20, 30 and 40 metres (1 arrow each). I missed 3 inches left and 1 inch down at 48 metres and tried again at 48 and got my second shaft within 1 inch of my first. This was my very first range test after setting my 10m pin. I had trouble doing this on the 2nd walk back test. Heck, I had trouble believing it wasnt a fluke - but what does that tell you about the bow?Read full review
I picked this bow because I liked the Tech Specs. I wanted a bow that was light (3.9lbs), shoots fast (up to 350fps), had great kinetic energy (up to 95.22ft-lbs.), and had very little recoil after each shot, and the Flex Guard to help the arrow fly true after each shot, and this bow had such that. There were many other bows out there that were faster and lighter, but they did not have what I was looking for in a compound bow. I thought the bow size was very good, about 33 inches from axle to axle. I've been drawing the bow back, and it's really smooth. I can see and tell where the power stroke is. With 80% let off, it is nice to be holding back 12lbs to 15lbs instead of 30lbs, 35lbs. I bought this bow on Ebay, Gr8 ebayer, in June of 2010, and surprisingly, I have not shot it. My next thing is to buy the RhinoBrute foam target. When this happens, in the next day of so, I will really appreciate a well rounded performance bow. With the Octane batman quiver, Octane stabilizer (7 1/2inch) plus the limb saver stabilizer enhancer, G5 Optix LE bow sight, QAD Ultra HD arrow rest, the black and red braided bow sling, and the Meta peep sight, 1/4inch, the overall weight of the bow weighs about 6lbs. The things that I did not like about the bow was it had a smaller handle that I'm used to, the price is a bit pricey ($899). I'll give this bow a 9.5/10, 10 being best.Read full review
The 2010 Bowtech Destroyer 350 is a great shooting bow. The draw cycle is a little stiffer than some of the single cam bows I have owned. To remedy the stiffer draw cycle you can reduce the peak draw weight a couple of pounds to compensate for the stiffer draw and still shoot much faster than most other bows. I went from shooting a Diamond Black Ice @ 68 lbs and 275 fps to a Bowtech Destroyer set at 60 lbs shooting 295 fps both shooting the same 405 grain arrow. The Bowtech Destroyer 350 is a great hunting bow and target bow with little hand shock and vibration.
