Thinking about buying a Bow
 

Hey everyone,
I have been bowhunting whitetail for the last two years and I think it might be time to get a new(as in new to me) bow. I am currently using a rather old Martin Cougar Speed Flite. I have a 30" draw and am pulling upper 70s for poundage without a problem. However, this bow is HEAVY and more than likely louder than heck. I will occasionally take out my fathers bow when he isn't using it. It is an older, but newer than the Martin, Alpine Rebel. The Martin is 60% letoff and the Alpine is an 80% letoff. The Alpine is really smooth, but its not mine.

So here is the problem, I am looking for a bow, preferably made in the last 10 years that people here like and I can get cheap. I am looking for under about $150 max. So what do you guys and gals reccommend? Thanks!

Right now I am looking at a bunch of Buck Master bows, a Daron Maverick, maybe an Alpine Sidewinder, and a Bear Rampage?

Does anyone know if these bows are decent or not? Thanks!

Buy a Mathews if you want to kill deer, because it isn't good to Hoyt them! hahahaha;)

Find a bow thats comfortable for you. When you ask some of these guys they will steer you into spending up to 700 or 800 bucks. You can find a comfortable bow for 150 dollars. Check with some pro shops in your area. Remember the name brand doesnt kill the deer, you do and whatever bow you are comfortable with.
