RE: Shopping for my first bow any recommendations?
Ditto what Taz just said.....
Read my other reply post (the one about archery targets) where I mentioned about shooting a bow into the target "Black Hole". I demo'd a brand new Fred Bear TRX, wicked hot, 302fps, short bow. It felt weird at first, but okay. The letoff was 80%! My bow is 65%. To make a long story short, I don't think I could handle such an advanced, speedy, bow like that. I'm still perfectly content with my old PSE Edge Series 1000C bow. There is just something about how my bow fits me. I guess the old style round wheel dual cam bows have a balance and comfortable feel to them that makes them a classic. I know exactly how well my bow is shooting and how accurate it is. At 41" axle-to-axle, it is big, heavy, but provides confidence and a certain "feel" that I don't get with picking up brand new Martins, Parkers, Hoyt's, etc.... Maybe one of these days, I'll upgrade into a new bow. But for now, I still like shooting my old "workhorse" bow.
