Wait until you see the lineup of new bows for 2016. Whether you're going for sheer speed and hard-hitting performance or a bow that passes the smooth and quiet tool test, these 14 companies find ways to package it all.

SHOT Show 2016 doesn't kick off for a few more days, but that hasn't stopped some of the industry's biggest names from rolling out news regarding their new releases. One of Browning's first salvos was the announcement that the company's "Sweet Sixteen" is making a triumphant return.

In 2012, after Benelli’s patent on its inertia action expired, Browning seized opportunity with a new-aged Auto-5, simply called the A5. Today the A5 line includes Mossy Oak bedecked guns and the shoot-all shown above, the new 31/2-inch Stalker, a semi-auto that looks and feels much like the old but that outperforms it in every way.

Whether you’re after blazing speed or sheer forgiveness, the New Year is off to a GREAT start as this baker’s dozen of bow companies launches some of the best hunting bows yet.

The features include a kinematic action that is inertia operated, unlike your papa's recoil-operated A5.

Some people suggest crossbows are much more powerful, but are they really? And if so, how much more?
