buying a new Bow
 
I haven't bowhunted in about 15years and am now getting the fever again and in need of a new hunting Bow. I used to shoot touranments as well but not now. looking for a good hunting Bow. I looked at the Drenalin, The general and Hoyt which one would you suggest. The last Bow i shot was a Proline(like I said long time ago). So much more infro out there now and everyone promoting we are the best and the fastest. Any Ideas?

I would suggest to first find a pro shop that has a good reputation. Then shoot several bows. I had my heart set on a Hoyt, but ended up with a BowTech Guardian. Not much differences in the top end bows, get one that fits you and feels good to you.

One that you like and fits you...Just keep on trying differant bows and go with the one that feels like it belongs....
Some wil tell you there's is the best,that one isnt any good,bla bla bla......
Its going to be for you no one else...
But right now would be the time to p/u a 07 model for a good price...

There are many other nice bows besides the "big 3". PSE, Parker, Ross, Diamond, Bear and many others. Get it set up right, and they all shoot good.

I am a new member an would like to hear as much input on this issue before making a purchase. I hear Diamond has limb breakage problems is this right but other wise a good Bow? What Arrow do you like, sights, rest? Thanks for any input

ill agree with them shot different bows, Im recommending the Hoyt Katera or Katera Xl, if you want to read something amazing about Hoyt, go to www.hoyttoughbows.com and read the stories people have put hoyt bows through !!!! but in the end pick the one that fits you!! Hoyt as a life time warrenty with there bows!!

Lifetime warranty is on most if not all of the top name bows. Be sure and shoot the General, but also shoot the Guardian, Allegiance, and the Airbornes:DI wish I could afford them all:D

Hoyt, Bowtech, or Matthews are three good bow manafactures, but ive put my hoyt thru the worst of the badest conditions and i would recommend the Hoyt Vectrix or Hoyt Katera
