first off great forum. I haven't bow hunted in years. the bow I have is 19+years old and I want to start bow hunting and do some 3D shoots. a buddy of mine had me come over and shoot with him he has a Mathews switchback xt,which is a nice bow. I don't want to spend that much on a bow. I have been looking at a bowtech tomkat and a bear element or instinct. so any help on what bows are worth going to the pro shop to shoot will be a big help. or any suggestions on a good bow will help. thanks smurphy<><
