Apost like this your going to get alot of people saying "just shoot them all" and i hate that advise b/c of course your going to shoot all the ones you can...but heres a list to try
- Fred Bear Showdown -Fred Bear Element -Diamond The Rock -PSE Brute -if you just go to huntersfriend.com they have a list of mostthe bow manuf. out thereand what there selling...cabelas...basspro may help aswell |
RE: new to the game
I think maybe you should add Martin to that list. They make a great quality bow and they never seem to break $600.00

Depending on budget and how serious you are about bowhunting you may want to consider a couple year old used bow. Just a thought.

RE: new to the game
If your just getting started I would suggest a one or two year old bow... If that not your style then a Fred Bear Element or check out a Guide Series Bow that is sold only at Gander Mountain. It is made by Bow Tech and has life time warranty on limb and riser, pretty good price for what your getting.

Remember this though, I would rather own a slightly used, year or two old, used bow than a cheap budget model that was new. Check the classified here on especially on archerytalk. I ever have an '06 Hoyt Trykon 28" 60-70# that I would sell ya for only $250 and I promise you.... it would be a FAR better choice than a lowend Bear or something similar. Good luck and good huntin' and welcome to the forums.

RE: new to the game
I have tought about a used bow but i dont want to get something that is gonna fall apart or not work properly. Also what type accessories do i need; sights, balancers, etc. like i said i am new and dont know much about the actualy bow part of hunting. oh and by the way i shoot right handed.
