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! 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?

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.

Here are their websites.

Radio, he is referring to Matthews, Hoyt and of course the best Bowtech[8D]

all kidding aside...just shoot the top of the line ones if price is not an issue and decide for your self...you will get 100 replies on here and every one will identify their bow as the best ever...of course it is the best ever for them...so go down to your local Bowtech pro shop......UH, I mean local bow shop and shoot some!!!


Welcome, Bo

LMAO!!!! Thanks guys price is not something I am concerned about like all things I look at it like you have to pay to play. I do thank you guys.

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.

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

Welcome. I'm glad money is not an issue so you can plan on a grand + for top end stuff fully outfitted..
