RE: Compound bow for a new shooter, recommendations please.
Piper - I just wondering what you have, in terms of bow experience, to compare to the Jennings bow. I know I recently got back into archery and was pretty amazed how things had changed since the mid 80's. You need to shoot some various modern bows first, I would say, before jumping in the water. For the money, a Bear Element/Instinct is a great bow. So is the Martin Bengal. There are also lots of great deals out there on used equipment. Check E-Bay for an old Mathews SQ2 or Hoyt ProTec - you can get one a couple years old for about half of whata new one costs. There is lots of time between now and big game season. Use it wisely.
