Western MA Hunter

Hey Guys,
I just broke down and bought a new bow. I got a 2003 Archery Research AR34. It is a sweet little bow. I was a little reluctant at first because you don't hear too much about this company as compared to Mathews, Hoyt, & Bowtech, but the price was right and the bow shoots unbelieveable. It is super fast, quiet, lightweight & forgiving. Plus, it looks very cool. I need to bring it to the pro shop and get it set up this weekend.
I am considering sticking with aluminum arrows for now... any comments one way or the other? Part of me wants to make the switch to carbons now... I don't know... help!

W.M.A I can`t` speak for every else but I went back to aluminum this year,I just fill i get a better arrow flight, I know carbins are faster. but agian i mostly hunt. getting good arrow flight with fixed broadheads seems to be a little better with aluminum. But know matter what you decide to go with just make sure you get a good quality arrow And congrats on the new bow. I`m sure it will shoot just fine good luck with it this season!

Congrats on the new bow. I tried out an AR37 and thought it seemed like a quality bow.

Let me start off by saying that I am carbon biased so take that into account. I think that if you are going with a new bow then you might as well try new arrows as well. There are several ICS carbons out there that are more than adequate for your hunting needs.

Congrat's on the new Archery Research ,I've shot one and YES it is a nice bow ,but it just didn't have the kind of speed I was looking for .
