I guess I stopped because "life" got in the way... college and the Marine Corps. Got rid of the old recurve years and years ago. Back now because my son is starting in on archery, and many of the land owners around here (northern VA) will only let you hunt if it is bowhunting. So I'm buying a modern compound to compliment my son's recurve.

Well welcome back to bowhunting Vulture, and welcome to the forums.

Welcome back to bows and to HNI!

Vulture6....welcome back to Bow Hunting...it sure is different after a 30 year vacation Hope you get a Big Buck this year!

Welcome feel free to ask us, we like to help

Welcome aboard

I'm in the process of purchasing the new outfit. I've been to two pro-shops in the area and testfired several bows. A few I could tell right away I didn't like, and a couple of others that -- so far -- seem about the same.

I know that it's hard to go wrong with any of these choices, but I'd appreciate any advice on the final contenders:

PSE Vengeance
Parker Trailblazer XP
Diamond Justice
PSE Brute

My concern is that - at this point - I won't notice something that might be bugging a more experience shooter.

I know everyone has a favorite brand and model, but I'd appreciate any comments or advice.

Welcome aboard! and from them choices I would recommend the Diamond, I had the opportunity to shoot it and loved it. Once again welcome and all of the experienced guys and gals here will be sure to help. Its a awesome group of folks.

Vulture6,
You're about my age. I was guessing that at our age, we've figured out that gun season only lasts a week or two, but bow hunting gets us out of the house for up to three months!
