New Bow Question

How old is your NOVA? How old is the Fireflight? They're really close to the same quality. You won't see much difference.

Work hard this summer, save your $'s, and upgrade. David is right. Little difference at all between the two. You can get brand new bows that are really nice for not a lot of money.

You can also buy a 1-2 year old state of the art bow for little money asused bowsdepreciate badly. I just traded a 2004 Hoyt Xtec in for my new Trykon and all I got for it was $400. It cost$700 new and with the string that brought it up to $800.For $400 it was a heck of a bow and even had a $100 winners choice string on it. I am just like a lot of guys; have to havethe latest and greatest new one out.

I agree with the others. There isn't enough difference between the two to go spending the money. I'd suggest working and saving your money till you can afford a really decent upgrade. That doesn't mean a $700 bow. There are quite a few in the $300 range that will be a serious upgrade when the time comes.

Also, as you got your Nova used I'd suggest looking at a few used ones again. There are lots of guys that get new bows every year or two or three and sell their old ones. Usually nothing wrong with them whatsoever. In this case it's possible to pick up last year's $500 for about $300 or so. A much more desireable alternative for someone at your age and experience level. And certainly better than just another entry level PSE.

I'd upgrade too, I shoot a PSE Mojave (yeah I couldn't find much info on it, I think it's Canadian and goes under a different name here.) Save you $'s and upgrade I'm looking at Matthews and Hoyt.
