Just got a bow and need some help

buckinkansas · 08-01-2010, 07:18 PM

I just traded for a bow. I'm fairly new to bowhunting, although I am not completely green. I have a Hoyt MT Sport with zr200 limbs. I am pretty certain I am going to get a new sight and new arrow rest and pretty well have those picked out. I am wanting to know what I need to be looking to buy as a beginner. I also need some suggestions on camo and boots. All your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

a nice release and a realtree arm sleeve really helps from hitting the string on your arm esspecially wearing cold weather clothes, but as for camo and boots, go to a store and try stuff on its all personal preference, but make sure you buy some sort of scent killer (scent away, dead down wind etc.) its a must for bowhunters

I like realtree ap, but its what you like, and the area your hunting, Your goal is to have your cloths match your environment.

I've been looking alot in to camo and there is a pretty wide selection out there. Alot of difference in prices too. With camo is it you get what you pay for? I have been looking alot at the Redhead brand of Bass Pro. It seems fairly economical but pretty decent quality.

Moved to the Bowhunting forum for a little more help on the subject...
