I have dedicated my old High Country to bow fishing and gator hunting so its time for a new bow for hog, deer and turkey.

MThe ONLY place near here to buy a bow is Bass Pro Shops as we have ZERO archery shops here. I went and shot a RedHead Kryptic and an XSC-33. Both shot incredibly well compared to what I am used to. They also sell Diamond (bowtech), Browning, Bear and PSE.

I know that bows are a very personal thing but was hoping for a little input on any of these models.

I don't know what your price range may be, but I noticed that the 07 Instinct (my bow) is on sale at Bass Pro for under $300. It is a great bow for the price.

Price is not really a concern knowing that I will probably shoot this thing for many years. I want to get the best available.

Do yourself a favor,Make a day or two of it and hit the road.Find some pro shops and shoot as many differant bows as you can and you will find YOUR bow.Plus its just fun!GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Shoot all the bows they have at BP then go on the road as mentioned before. Since they have Diamond go try the Marquis, if i were buying one this year that would be it. The Hoyt Katera came in a close second for my liking(not for everyones though everyone is different).

Shoot them all and have fun!!!!

Than by a ROSS

Make sure you test fire the Marquis by Diamond..... I am using one for indoors and I am really enjoying the bow [8D]

i do not know much about what bass pro sells buti shoot a hoyt ultra sport. its an 04 andi love it. i would look at the reflexs. parkers are really good i know. i shot a parker for a while so maybe look at those.
