Default New bow-picking a tough assignment

Ten years can be a lifetime in archery buying.

First, I'd set a beginning price on what I want to pay. Of course, you should remember that there are prices for bare bows and the additional prices for accessories.

I'd go to the 'Hunter's friend' web site. Their site is excellent. It covers many bows, not all of course, but you can see the range of prices for bare bone bows and ready to shoot bows. That should help you fix a narrower range for your price range.

I'd go to the local archery stores. Not every shop has bows available to shoot. I used the time to hold the various bows, to see how they balanced in my hand. Bought the last two bows doing this method.

I'd check in detail the sites of the bows I might be interested. Most bow companies have their own internet site.
Today we have hunting sites you can ask questions about a particular bow, and get comments.
You can go to 'You tube' site and type in the particular bow, and perhaps find a few clips on that very bow, using non-professional archers.

Good luck. I've been there and done that.
