    Great video I have a friend looking into the new Zion and this video of you shooting this bow helps. Now it’s time to go shoot the bow.

      I’m happy I could help! Definitely worth testing out in person to see what you think for yourself! Thanks for watching!

    Hey James, great video! I am totally a fan of the carbon icon. Currently own two of these, one in camo and one in the carbon fiber pattern. These bows are compact and super smooth! I dont see many people shooting them but boy are they missing out! Good luck this deer season, thanks for posting!

      Thank you! That’s awesome. I haven’t met anyone else who uses them but I definitely agree people are missing out by not! Have a good and safe hunting season as well if you’re getting out there! Thanks for watching!

      Have had mine for 4 years now and I don’t see me getting a new one anytime soon . Super light and compact

    • @jameswooster7166

      Same! I got mine in 2016 and see no need to change it anytime soon!

    Nice video! I upgraded the cable slide to a PSE rollerglide cable slide cuz the stock one chewed out my cables a bit but otherwise my carbon icon has treated me well for the past two years.

    I had a Carbon Icon and a Carbon Overdrive. I sold the Icon because I shot the Overdrive better, but They are both super solid. I always put a Bee Stinger 8 or 10 inch stabilizer up front. I've bought newer bows, but wind up sticking with the Overdrive. If I ever buy brand new again I will probably get the Icon again.

    • @jameswooster7166
      @jameswooster7166  Před 2 lety

      I’ve never tried out the Carbon Overdrive but could see it being a solid bow as well. Sometimes ole reliable just can’t be replaced by the newer ones! Haha! Thanks for watching!

    Still have my carbon knight & it's still the best bow I've shot.Always thought it was odd they renamed exactly the same bow to Icon but that's what sells I quess.

    • @jameswooster7166
      @jameswooster7166  Před 2 lety

      I didn’t realize that it was previously called it the carbon kinging before carbon icon! Wonder why they would decide to do that? Regardless still a rock solid bow for sure! Thanks for watching!

    Hey great video I am 12 years old and I saved up my money and bought a bowtech carbon icon I shoot 2 inch groups out to 45 yards I have a truglow archers choice sight and a qad drop away rest I had a Hoyt ruckus but the bowtech is so much better

    • @jameswooster7166

      I think you’ll continue to find it is a great purchase, that will treat you well! Sounds like a rock solid set up on it too. Thanks for watching!

      @@jameswooster7166 I the bow at the pawn shop is in very good condition and comes with accessories. But I've read online where people were having issues with the risers warp. Have you had any issues?

    • @jameswooster7166
      @jameswooster7166  Před 2 lety

      I haven’t had any issues with mine at all. Only thing I have replaced is the arrow rest because the whiskers wore down on it which is very common with that arrow rest and has nothing to do with the bow itself. Aside from that I’ve had zero issues with mine and it’s almost 6 years old now! I know others experience can be different and I’m sure some of it depends on how well you take care of it but if it looks in good shape I think it could be a good purchase. I paid somewhere between $800-$850 for mine new so you’d be looking at less then half the price for what I think is a great bow!

    you have no idea how good that bow would shoot like a tack driver with a front stabilizer at least 18 to 30 inches long with 1 to 5 oz weight ,and a side bar stabilizer with 3 to 10 oz weight in the back , omg ! i shoot a mathews Z7 set up and am blowing all the guys with new bows away ! ,i am fixxing to get this bowtech CARBON icon with all types of goodies for just under 400 clams ,what a deal ! good review bro !

    • @jameswooster7166
      @jameswooster7166  Před 2 lety

      I’ve considered upgrading the stabilizer at some point in time! It shoots great as it is but I’m sure a better stabilizer could make it even better! That’s a sweet deal though! That’ll be a fun set up to have. Thanks for watching!

    But how come you don't have any advertising in your channel? , You need to get paid something for the great content you provide, - sorry I'm the only viewer.

      Because CZcams businesses says he don't have enough viewers and subscribers. It's not simple as people think it is if it was yeah. I'll be famous because I showed people how to install a toilet seat lol

      I appreciate that! I definitely do the best I can to get the best content possible on here! But yeah, as Chris Perkins said it goes based off of watch time and reaching 1,000 subscribers before you are able to monetize which is where the ads come from. Thank you both for commenting though and for coming to my channel!

      @@jameswooster7166 you are very welcome. The best way I can figure out is if people will tell their friends about your channel it will help it grow more. Like a radio station you start up your own radio station you get people telling people to listen eventually you will have some listeners. CZcams without people telling their friends family about your channel it's kind of like being a sitting duck in a way. I will tell my co-workers to check out your channel. Because the only thing CZcams seems like it's more focused on huge numbers than quality truthful content coming forth from the video. I used to hear some CZcamsrs talk about how people were on Facebook about numbers of friends followers CZcams it's kind of the same parody if you think about it. My thing is brother If a person's self-worth and value validation is based on. Likes comments shares subscribers high numbers online we have a problem. Just like the old radio DJs used to say tell your friends families to tune in to our station. At least you'll get more results that way when people in person spread your channel around.
