Default RE: NEW BOWHUNTER NEEDS ADVICE ON A NEW BOW

WOW.

Did I read that correctly?? You were shooting a left handed bow right handed?? If that is true don't ever go back to the guy that set that up for you for ANYTHING.

You did the right thing by hanging it up. Not only is your ability to hit a target compromised but when you do your penetration is not good at all. This could be from poor arrow flight, wrong broadheads, wrong arrows.........actually shooting a lefty bow backwards it could be from anything!!

There are many many quality bows out there from many different lines. They all have models in prices from $250 all the way up to $700. That is not important but just letting you know. What is important is that you find the one that fits you the best and feels right when you shoot it........then worry about if you can afford it. With the season's end rapidly approaching I would wait until next years models come out in Jan-Feb and then you will have the most to choose from.

Find a GOOD shop to set you up and teach you some stuff so you can practice CORRECTLY for about 9-10 months and next year you will be successful and the deer will much less likely get wounded.

Good luck and keep us posted.


For what it's worth I bought my first bow ever this year and to me it shoots like a dream and to the 6 pt buck I took it shoots like a nightmare <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

It is a fred bear TRX. Could I have gotten my buck with 50 other bows out there just like mine??? Sure.......but that is the bow that fits me like a glove. Go find yours.
