Most manufacturers offer good 3D bows. First thing I'd look for is over 7 inch brace height and a longer axle to axle. Then I'd shoot them to see which I liked best. A lot of 3Ds limit the speed to 280 fps. which isn't hard to obtain with carbon arrows. The top shooters practice judging yardage as much as they practice shooting, so a laser rangefinder is nice to have.

BG2Lover,

My favorite target bows are Merlins because of their beauty, function, accuracy, and craftsmanship.
Only the Bowman equals Merlin's craftsmanship but no other bows can touch them, imo.
I have the Max 2000 and Super Nova.
Merlin is coming out with a new Max 3000 soon.
The Max series bows are extremely accurate, stable, forgiving, and have all the speed you need for 3-D competition.
Check them out.

The Max 3000 is not on the website yet but will be in a few weeks.

From Your name I assume you already shoot a G2
Why not shoot it? It has a 7 5/8 braceheight and an IBO of 309 fps or something like that!
My motto is to shoot what I'm gonna hunt with Learn the set up
A good set up hunting rig can preform with the best of them! just my opinion

For the Sagittarious, how do u like ure super nova, i just looked at that and it has an extremely long brace hieght and seems like it would shoot good. How much does it cost in american dollars. For littleal i just want one bow comletely outfitted with light arrows, sure loc moveable sight and the other good stuff. So everyone please respond as i would like to get as many opinions on the subject as possible.

Hoyt Protec or Ultratec
Mathews Conquest 2 or 3
Merlin
Martin makes some good target bows, but I forgot the models
Darton Vegas maybe
CSS makes some target bows also.

The problem with some of the above bows is finding a shop where you can shoot one prior to buying it. My best advice is to shoot first, buy second.

B.G2Lover,

My SuperNova is a beautiful and accurate bow but it's built mainly as a spot and field shooting bow.
It wouldn't be the best bow for 3-D shooting. Especially if you have a short draw length.
The new Max 3000 is the bow I would want for 3-D.
It's supposed to be available in about 8 weeks.

Buckmaster, check out the BowTechs. The Pro 40, either dual or single cam would make a great 3D bow. I think the Pro 40 wheel bow will, too. One thing to keep in mind regarding sights. A moveable pin sight puts you in the open class. Check the IBO site for rules, but I think the max is 45 or 50 yds. A good pin sight and you are in the hunter class. Max 35 yds. If that doesn't concern you, then a good moveable pin sight is a good choice. www.ibo.net
