Welcome to bow hunting!

You can spend as much as you like or as little as you like but in the end it's the person pulling back the bow that does the job, not the bow.

I have shot Brownings all my life, I currently have two bows that are set and ready to hunt at any given moment. One is a Browning Bloodbrother and the other a Rage One.They both shoot just fine. I actually like the cheaper (when new) Rage One better. It kills just fineand it's one of Browning's least expensive models.

The new expensive bows are fast and have all of the bells and whistles you can think of, but I think I will stick to my "entry level" bow.

It's not the money...I can buy ANY bow I want at any time I want one, or a hundred for that matter. My opinion is all that extra money is for speed and speed alone. My bow is as accurate as any other hunting setup out there. It's accurate enough that I have to aim at different spots on my target or I will damage fletching and nocksso that's not what the extra money is for. I have also never had a deer "jump" my string so it must be quiet enough, so that's not what the extra money is for.I have never had any of my "entry level" brownings break or fail in the field so the extra money isn't for reliability either. I'm not saying a cheaper bow won't break, it will but I can tell you that the more expensive ones do to, so that's not what your paying for.That leaves us with speed plain and simple. Well there is also the "look what I shoot" factor but I will leavethat for another post.

If it'sa super duper fast bow you like thenspend your last dollar on one but if you want to hunt and have fun in the field ANY of the lower priced bows will perform JUST as well as any other hunting bow out there period. Just make sure whatever bow you buy fits you good and youfeel comfortable shooting it, don't worry about the price and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Now before anyone jumps out of their Bowtech embroidered shorts, I am talking about hunting bows in hunting situations.
