Please Help,
 

Hello every one. I singed up here in hopes to make some new hunting buddies and get some help. I used to shoot bow all the time and was always in to recurve, I put it down some years back and of course life moved on. Last year I became very sick and had some time unable to do anything. That little stent has left me, hmmmm, weak to say the least. I did how ever get the chance to learn that the things that are important in life are ONLY the things that bring joy. So I had been thinking the whole time that I was down about the enjoyment I used to get out of the bow. I started looking around and boy oh boy things have changed. I have made up my mind that this will be one of the many things I dedicate my self to. So enough rambling here are my questions. Fisrt Off I want the best bow on the market. Something that I can hunt with and use for compitition and just at the ranch for messing around. It must have an easy draw but a fast letoff also is there any system that is adjustablebecause as my strength comes back I would like to feel as though when I am shooting I am getting exercize.I thank you in advance for your input. By the way I need a long draw.

Welcome to the forums!:D:D:D You have come to the right place for information as well as new friends.

I recently purchased a Hoyt Trykon XL. I bought this bow b/c I wanted to hunt with it and also to use it for competition. The longer axle to axle is supposed to better for target shooting, more forgiving. I don't like the fact that Hoyt did away with the adjustable drawlength feature but I am shouldn't be growing much anymore. I just went to the proshop and had them determine my drawlength. I got the 60/70 pound model and its easy to adjust. I am currently at 64/65 pounds which is plenty, more than enough. There are a lot of good bows on the market and you can still have a good bow even if its not the "big 3".

Heres my new toy.

Thats a sharp looking bow, You made mention of the "big3" what is that a type of bow orare there threethat every one sees as the best?

RE: Please Help,
 

Thanks! The big 3 is considered Hoyt, Matthews, and Bowtech. Anyone can tell you that all 3 are very good bows and that you wouldn't be hurt'n if you bought either one.

I would also look at the new Ross bows.
I shoot a Mathews Switchback(can't go wrong with a Mathews)right now but checked out the Ross last week at the pro shop I shoot at(they sell Bowtech too)
I did not get to shoot one but probably will in the next couple weeks.
The Ross did appear to be very well made.

RE: Please Help,
 

welcome and like the others said try the top 3 and see what feels right for you you really can't go wrong with any of them
