Good answers guys. It totaly makes sense to try to find the right bow. I get that.

I guess when I was doing that to begin with I didn't have the cash to get into a bunch. sure I always wanted the new stuff but I was in the military with a new family.

Now I have a little more but still can't afford to much with the prices as they are. And if I spent that kind of money on one it would be the last as my wife would kill me for spending that much. $300 for the Bear Instinct package seemed to bea good choice. So far I am impressed with this setup. It didn't take long to get good groups at 30 yards so I've been taking it hunting. Like I said it replacing a 14 year old bow.

Trading up I can see I guess and for sure buying used I can see. But I cannot justify (for myself) spending thousands every year on a bow.

If you enjoy it and can afford it more power to you.


I just realized my wife should realy know I love her. After all think of all the stuff I gave up for her. All the bows I could have bought! The things we do for them! LOL
