Hi all, I currently have a Horton Crossbow, but I am looking to buy a Compound Bow, something affordable, not too pricey. I am about 5'10" and weigh about 145lbs, I'm a small guy so I want a bow that's not too bulky and not too hard to pull back. I would appreciate all recommendations and any help you all could be in assiting me to find a bow. I'm even open to buying a used bow if anyone is selling.

Thanks!
Brian

Go to a pro shop and look at used Hoyts, Bowtechs, and Mathews. Used bows 1-2 years old depreciate worse than a mobile home. Try them out and see what fits you and what shoots the best.

I have a Mathews...great bow!

As already said used bows are a great value. If you want new then Diamond or Reflex are great value also.

i just bought my 1st bow tonight. I got a reflex highlander. It was not to pricey and I have read alot of good things on this sight and in bowhunting magazines about the Reflex company and the bow! Hope this helps!

Hey Pearl Jam,

Check out this link... These guys have a huge selection of bows and all the information you could ask for.

Check out the big "bow selection guide" feature on their site. It explains everything in detail...

I have a Bowtech Pro 40, 2 cam and love it.I hada bow made by a popular company, the bow most people are buying now and the cam split in half so other than Bowtech- Hoyt, Diamondor Reflex.

P.S. The company did fix the cam and replace the limbs, but not what I need to happen while hunting.
Just my 2 cents

well whats your price range? No one mentioned browning. I have a Browning and love it,its the F5 Tornado,its not pricey at all and its got a shorter ata and will still shoot 300 fps its worth taking a look at. Shoot it you wont be disappointed

I personally shoot a BowTech, but have shot a PSE in the past. Both are great bows. I would highly recommend a PSE for a beginning bow.

Shoot an Oneida if you can. You'll be surprised.
