I am thinking about buying a PSE Firestorm, bare bow for $409. Do you think this sounds reasonable. The guy at the pro shop will be able to use parts off of my old bow for my new one. It is a brand new bow, but a 2001 model. Any advice before I buy? Thanks for the help.

I shot one last year and though it shot fine it didn't really feel right for me. I shot it bare also and it wasn't real quiet. Nice bow but not for me.

THWACK!

I own one and love it. The only downside is it's a lttle heavy for it's size. I nailed one last year at 46 yards with a clean pass thru. It's fast enough that I only use one pin.

You are going to get every response under the sun on this one, most of them are either from the owner themselves, or the ol' reliable, "my buddies friend from work has one and doesn't like it", etc.,etc..

I just bought the Firestorm a few months ago, and after shooting every good bow on the market, including the high dollar Mathews, I preferred the PSE. The remark about it being heavy is not accurate, as it weighs 3.6 lbs. bare bones, which is less than virtually all of the Mathews with the exception of a few (FX, MQ 32, Black Max), and those are only lighter by 1-3 oz..

Obviously different strokes for different folks. Go to the shop and shoot every bow you can get your hands on, and then make a decision. I know I am just as guilty as the rest when it comes to having some preconceived notions about certain bows before i even get into the shop, based on nothing more than rumors.

I am by no means a bow expert, just a fella who likes to shoot and found a good bow that fits me perfectly.

Just my two cents.

thanks for the advice everyone

I have a 2003 firestorm santa brought It The reason I chose this bow was for its speed and the ability for me to go to one sight, I have the new carbon arrows Ilove it, No noise or vibration, I only shot it a couple of times, Its way out, The store where it was puch. offered free set up {what a joke that was}, All they did was mount the hardware but my wife didnt know that. But then again part of the fun a bow hunting is setting up the bow yourself, The guy was a pro and he didnt believe in any kind of paper tuneing Mine Is alittle off also my sights are to high which means my kisser is out to So it will take awhile to set up but once its done I think Ill be really happy.
