RE: What target bow to Buy
I agree with littleal I like to shoot my hunting rig so when its time to stop playing I'm ready. I think more importantly than the rig is the shooters commitment. my friend and I shoot in alot of 3-d's I am constantly in the top ten and he is always one of the tops. We shoot 70lb hunting rigs with fixed pins. We are serious about range estimating and know the capability of our rigs. i get about 265fps out of my bow so I have to pay more attention to range than the guy who shoots 290fps. But we consistently be the gadget guys with their fancy scopes move able sight etc. Reylamb names some good bows to start looking at. Above all have fun at the shoots.

You don't mean that you shoot from the same stake as the "gadget
guys with their fancy scopes move able sight etc." do you? And consistantly beat them? That would be impressive!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I'm looking at the PRO40DC myself. As soon as the shop gets one in for me to shoot. I shot the a Martin Cougar last year and shooting 20-25 fps slower than your competition will put you at a disadvantage, all else being equal.

Buckmaster, I haven't shot many 3-D tornaments but in the few that I have I saw more Mathews Conquest and Conquest2's than anything . I have never shot one myself but I'd say 7 out of 10 of the more advanced shooters were shooting them at the local events I attended.

I would choose Merlin, Max 3000 or the new Light Storm 2. From what pinwheel has said on other forums they are both performers. You will not be sorry with a Merlin, I bought my Apex riser last spring and I am still in love with her to this day. Couldn't say that much for those limbs of mine. If I could afford it I would be getting Light Storm right away for next hunting season. Good shooting.
