Default Need a new bow

I need a new bow. I have checked out several and the martin bows seem to be just as good as the mathews, but at 1/2 the cost. I have also checked out the Ross Cardiac and it seems great too. Any Suggestions on a new bow that shoots great and is very dependable.

Im preety sure the guys on here will tell ya the same thing. Get out to the shops and shoot as many bows as you can and narrow your search down! Good luck there are alot of nice bows out there! Just remember different strokes for different folks!

I agree with going out and shooting as many as you can. Im a mathews fan, but for the money you should look at bear. I think if you want an affordable bow you should look at them.

Go out and shoot as many bows as you can get your hands on, then decide how much money you want to spend, and either pick something in that range, or look for a used one that's comparable if what you really like is too expensive. Martin and Bear have some good offerings at good prices, Reflex and Diamond are also pretty competitive in the "budget (not that any of them are cheap) market." Don't let any of us tell you what to get, I may love my Trykon, but half of the guys here will like it, the other half hate it. Let your decision be an informed one that is based upon what you personally like!!!
