New to bow hunting
I'm new to bow hunting, tried it once when I was 16 but that was like 13 years ago. What is the best bow I can get for around $350? I've been thinking about a Fred Bear, are they any good? What other brands?
Thanks

RE: New to bow hunting
Welcome to the world of archery , once you get started you'll be hooked for life.
$ 350.00 isn't gonna get much these days unless you shop around , but you can get a Darton Marauder with everything on it for $ 520. 00.
It's a good light bow and very fast and quiet heres a link to there web site if you want to check it out ( www.dartonarchery.com ) .

I know that the the Cabelas Outfitter Series PL 1.5 bow is on sale at cabelas.com and is $349.99. This is bare though. With everything it is $549.99. Great bow, and awsome bargain right now.

If you are willing to buy a used bow I think you could find something decent in your price range. Check out archery shops and pawn shops. I have seen some good deals on bows that people traded in or pawned. Good luck.

I picked up my PSE Bruin witha full set up for $320.00. I think its a good bow for the price. Go to some pro shops and talk with the folks that work there, most will be more than helpful. See if you can shoot a few and see what you like

RE: New to bow hunting
I personally would suggest buying a used bow in good condition. This way you can get back into and have a bow that has a rest, sight, etc. and it will probably save you some money. You can always upgrade if you decide to do that, but there are LOTS of quality used bows. Just my $.02 but that's what I would do. I know there are some in the classifieds right now. Good luck!
