RE: Anyone know...
Utah,
I'm in the same boat as you. I need to purchase a new bow this year and this is only my second year of bowhunting so I don't know alot about all the technical stuff about compound bows. After doing research and getting the advice of the other hunters on this forum, I'm going to a proshop for my new bow. There are many variables besides just draw length and poundage to consider. Your bow has to be set up for you. The peep sight needs to be adjusted to your eyes and anchor point, you need to have it tuned so that your arrows fly correctly, you need to choose the right arrow shaft for your bow's poundage, then the right broadhead for that shaft. Not to mention the different sights and arrow rests to consider. You may pay a little more for a bow at a proshop but the advice and expertise you get in getting the bow set up for you more than make up for the added costs. If you try and do all this yourself, like I did last year, just to save a few bucks, you'll end up spending more than you could ever hope to save because you'll end up buying everything twice. First the cheap stuff, then the right stuff. As far as what condition the bow is in, if the bow is used, the dealer has to sell it as used. The dealer at the pro shop has to abide by the same rules as the seller on Ebay does. Plus you have the added benefit of seeing the bow for yourself and making up your own mind BEFORE you buy it. Not after it has already been shipped to you. That's just my opinion. I hope this helps you. PS: As far as what the label says on the box, R.H. is right handed, 29" is the draw length, and 70" is 70 lb draw weight
