BPS Redhead "Kronik"-GREAT, November 7, 2009
By shortran from San Antonio, Texas

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money

"Within the last week and a half, I bought a Kronik at my local BPS. This is a major upgrade for me. My previous bow is about 12 years old. The new Kronik is leaps and bounds better than my old bow. John, at the BPS store set it up very good and I had NO problems getting it sighted in and grouping small groups in no time at all. I look forward to hunting with this bow this year. I am amazed at how much easier this bow is to shoot and how fast it is. This has been a great purchase."

Awesome buy, November 2, 2009
By NavyChief from Crestview, Fl

Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Value for money

"Been shooting a Bear Whitetail II for over 20 years and decided to upgrade. This bow makes it feel like I went from a Model T to a Cadillac. Awesome package setup. Everything you need to get started. Sight is great and like the LED light if needed. Takes some getting use to the Hostage arrow rest. Tore up the fletching on one arrow till I got it set right. Could have been operator error. Be sure to get extra brushes in case they wear down quickly. Did my research on alot of bows before buying and this one was the best for the price. Had her tuned in less than an hour and shooting in 3 inch groups."

Amazing Bow, October 24, 2009
By KronikHunter from Piedmont, Oklahoma

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money, versatile

"I shoot a Redhead Kronik and it is one awesome bow! If you're looking for a bow that is versatile, quiet, light, and fast, then look no further. This bow keeps up with some high-end bows. Once I dialed in the sights, I was deadly accurate, shooting 3" groups from 20yds away. Along with being deadly accurate it was also very fast, with an IBO speed of 304, any deer within 30yds of the this bow is ghost. The deer will run in fear when you come on the field sporting the Redhead Kronik. It's very quiet, when I release the arrow all I really hear is the arrow hitting the target (which is a main selling point if you're a bow hunter). This bow is very versatile, with and axle-axle distance of 30 5/8", making this bow perfect for a treestand or small blinds and getting through that thick brush of the backwoods, along with having a weight of a whopping 3lbs. Having an adjustable 65-80% let-off that makes this bow etremely forgiving, and an adjustable 25-30" draw makes this bow perfect for any size hunter. Also I must state that the customer service at Bass Pro was OUTSTANDING!!! The one complaint I do have is that the quiver could have a better mechanism securing it to the bow, other than that i would give the bow an A+"

By TylerE from Ohio

"This is an awesome bow! It shoots and looks great. It's made by Diamond so it's a good name. I love the blue led light on the sight it's great for shooting in low light conditions. For $400 you can't beat it."

Nice Bow, October 13, 2009
By lefty27 from Springfield, IL

Advantages: Performs well, Value for money
Disadvantages: sight not really lefthanded

"Purchased the lefthanded model. The sight and the rest where righthanded models turned upside down. Tried to sight the bow in and could not. Had to take the bracket that holds the sight off and turn it upside down in order to sight it in and stop shooting arrows into the ground. Still have to fight the light on the sight to get an arrow into the rest.

Overall very good bow for the money.

not too bad, October 8, 2009
By colsen

Advantages: Value for money

"got my bow today liked the look of it, draws smooth, fast,but i did not like the hostage rest at all with the sights in the way you have to stick your arrow through the rest not a very fast way to get another arrow ready if something was too go wrong with your first shot. so i went too the local bow shop and had a drop away put in place of the hostage now i like the bow 100% better. bow shoots great with new rest in place i was shooting 3'' groups at 30 yards within 10 minutes . i do like the sights a little bulky but adjust easy and easy too see. i bought the bow for a cheap bow to hunt with untill i could figure out what bow i wanted for the next couple seasons but might end up keeping this one. i had a bowtech liberty i used untill last season this bow is right with it but half the price. rest and quiver could be better but for the money where else can u buy a (bowtech) redhead for this cheap."

1 yard shot on a 200lb, 3 yr old, 120 class, 8 point in the Pike County area
User submitted photo
Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money, fast (my bottom pin is 60 yards), extremely accurate, consistent
Disadvantages: minimizes deer population

"I bought this bow last year and i gotta say i had to double check the price tag. This bow has everything you could want, I would almost go as far to compare it with my mathews switchback xt. Only disadvantage i can think of is that there is minimal space between the let off and full draw (the cam starts to turn over if u give any slack when ur in draw) but this is common among bowtech cams. The accesories that come stock are really up to par i kept everything but the pins and thats bc i got a great deal on some copper johns. By the way, i tested its durability by accidentally dropping it 25 feet from my climber lol it didnt have a scratch on it. oh and the quiver works fine, but you gotta familiarize yourself with it and anyone who says it vibrates too much or its noisy should realize IT DOESNT COME WITH A STABILIZER put a fuse on it youll be in tip top shape."

great bow for the price, September 20, 2009
By mattde31 from south central, KY

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
Disadvantages: quiver

"i love this bow! it's my first bow and as a left handed shooter, it took me a while to find one that felt right and was in my price range. this bow filled both. after shooting about 10-15 arrows, i had the sights dialed in at 20, 30, and 40 yards. the only fault i have found with it is the same as the other reviewers... the quiver needs a better locking device. i am going to be replacing it with an Octane magnetic 1 piece soon, but the bow itself is great!"

8pt. with Kronik Bow
User submitted photo
Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money, short and can be used in a climber
Disadvantages: need to improve quiver

"I purchased this bow about 10 weeks ago and started shooting to prepare for bow season. This bow is a great and I would recommend this bow for anyone who is serious about bow hunting. Our season started in S. Georgia on Sept. 12 and I took an 8pt. with it on Sept. 16. Shot was 20 yards from a lock-on and had a clean pass/double lung shot with Muzzy 100's. Deer only ran 25 yards and fell. Going to use this bow in Ohio in November. I love this bow and all I can say is why would you spend more money when you don't have to. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars is the quiver. It works, but the locking mechanism is not up to par to match the quality of the bow. I will replace it soon. Good luck and make the purchase. You won't be disapointed!"

"I purchased this bow this in August and I love it. I looked at several bows before I decided to go with this one. I took my first shot at 10 yards and it was dead on. Shoots very smoothly and the price was good for my budget. This is only my second bow but I recommend this bow for anyone whether 1st bow or not."

Kronik Bow, September 8, 2009
By gcsasher from San Diego, CA

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
Disadvantages: quiver has poor locking device

"I have been bow hunting with a Hoyt Easton bow since 1985, and finally talked my self into updating my gear. This bow was within my price range so I made the trip up to the Rancho Cucamonga store and was shown this bow, It shoots great and very easy to adjust and being the first time that I have ever used a release it was very accurate. One day at the range got me dialed in out to 60yds but the first weekend of deer season the quiver would not stay locked into place and fell off twice, not a very good locking device for the quiver. All in all the bow is great 5 stars the quiver 1 star only because it did hold the arrows just not on the bow."

The "Kronik" Bow, September 3, 2009
By Ortiz from Indianapolis, IN.

Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money

"Just started hunting and was in search of my first bow with all the fixens. I looked around and finally went to the Bass Pro Shop in Clarksville, IN. to shoot the Kronic. By my 3rd round of arrows, I was shooting 3" groups @ 20yds. May not seem like much, but that was my first time ever shooting a bow. I then remembered something I read during my search."The bow for you will just feel right" and the Kronic felt right! It shoots great, it's quit, the draw is smooth, and the balance is good. Great value for the price.Hope to get my 1st deer this year and this deal will be complete!"
