RE: suggestions
Right now i have a PSE deer hunter, its the first bow i owned and when i got it i was new to archery. I went to gander mountain and the pro archery guy there picked one out for me (it was in a kit). I could shoot good groups at 5-10 yards and it was on clearence so i accepted his suggestion. The deer hunter is just not the fastest or smoothest bow out there though. It also only goes up to 55 lbs and I'd like to be able to shoot 65 or so. Even though i haven't been in archery long i love the sport and i shoot every day, i guess i kind of just feel i need a little more seriouse equipment for how serious of a shooter i am.
I went to gander mountain and scheels this weekend, you're right both are a little low on bows, especially gander.
As for trying different bows, how do they do that? They are on the shelf with no sights or rest. Do they just take the bow you want to try and slap one of each on there? Has anyone ever had an unpleasant salesman that got tired of you trying bows?
