Game Master 2 or Dorado
« on: December 30, 2009, 09:30:00 PM »
If you had to pick one of these bows, would it be a Game Master 2 or a Dorado? Please tell me why you picked it.

Game Master 2, if one is to get a "modern" trad bow, why not get the Tech riser?

Having owned both, I'd go with the GM2. The GM just felt better on the draw for me. I put a set of Samick carbon limbs on mine and it really made it feel smooth.

I prefer the tech riser myself.Very rigid with a dead in the hand feel on release.I have several ilf risers and have owned several more but find I always pick up the Gamemaster when I reach for a recurve.  :)

I also prefer the tech riser and the 62 inch length of the bow overall

I have read alot of good things about the dorado.I have one on order and was wondering if it is true that the draw weight is normally higher than what is specified.

Tried the GM but it just didn't feel right to me--and I can't stand the look of the riser (maybe that's why it didn't feel good).  I do own a Dorado and love it.  Shoots far more consistently than I will ever be able to. Same limbs, pick the riser you like best.

have not shot the Dorado.
I have a Gamemaster II. Love the bow, it's quick, handles well,and stable. Although its a bit noisey(not terrible)
great bow imo.

I had the game master before I had my bob lee i have now.  I prefer the tech riser of it over the Dorado.  Just purely a looks thing it was for me.

GameMaster II is more quite and solid but it also weighs more and is longer but it's my choice of the 2.
