I was in the Archey business full time for nearly 20 years (pro shop/lanes) & pretty much used the middle price range for my personal Hunting Bow as that is what MOST of my customers could afford. Arrows, I used what I thought was best & preached that to my customers-shoot the BEST arrow shaft you can afford.
I've been a Darton Bow person since the mid 70s. My last Darton was purchased for $99 from Cabelas bargain cave in (I think) 2003..
60# Single Cam, 75% let off. My arrows are Easton 2216 XX75s tipped with a 3 Blade Rocky Mountain Ironhead. This combo has accounted for 1 Bull Elk, A Cow Buffalo, at least 7 deer & probably 10 wild hogs. 2 Whitetails & 2 Hogs last year.
