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.

youll have a hard time with $150.

What do you know about the Hoyt Intruder Striker II? Is it a decent bow and is it possible to adjust the draw?

RE: Thinking about buying a Bow
 

How about the Hoyt Mystic Rebel? I have found this one in my draw length, but am unsure about what this bow should go for?

If you have any pawn shops in your area this would be a great time to check them out. Just be sure you know what you are doing or take someone along to help.

Yeah, i just wouldnt ezactly trust pawn shops for many reasons.
They sell crap for way high prices!

Yes sir. To me it's like buying a used car. But you can find some deals there.

Thanks for the advice guys...
However, does anyone know anything about the Hoyt Intruder Striker II, Hoyt Mystic Rebel, or the PSE Flash?

I found a brand new PSE Flash for $200 that looks sharp, but the draw is 29, so it would have to be adjusted. What do you guys think?
