What bow to get?
Ok so i know you probably get this question a lot so sorry to bug you but what bows should i look at and shoot?
my price range is $300
my DL is 25" and would like it to be adjustable to 28"
For lbs id like it to go up to 50lb and would be great if it went higher.
I'm looking at reviews and stats of the edge right know. But would like a list of bows to shoot and see what I like.
Thanks

IMO: You would be better finding a better used bow than trying to find something new in that price range. A lot of guys are looking to upgrade to the newest, latest, and fastest gear around. You can pick up a bow that sold for 400-600 two years ago for around 3 bills.

I don't think your search should be brand specific......look for the best bow for the $. Shoot a few, then pick the bow that feels best to you. Find the brand of bow that you like the best not what someone else recommends. Used bows are like used cars [let the buyer beware] check them over and make sure they don't have a cracked limb or something.
2droptine probably shoots a Hoyt as do two of my friends(very good bow) I shoot a Martin, another friend shoots a PSE. I guess my point is: Find the bow that fits you, and your budget.
Good Luck

I agree with eelriver. You definitely need to test them out. Go to an archery shop that has several kinds of bows, both new and old, and shoot each one. OnlyYOU can decide which one feels the best and has the right fit. There are many brands out there (Hoyt, Matthews, Parker, High Country, Bear, PSI, Browning, Bowtech, Martin, etc. etc. etc...) and I know it's hard to choose which one due to the vast amounts of choices out there, but find out how each shoots. Not all bows are created equal! One may shoot better than another, the only way to know is get out there and do some shoot'n.
