what kind ofbow do you prefer for a new bowhunter that doesnt want to spend too much money?

RE: new bowhunter
 

You know any bow if properly tuned will shoot straight and kill a deer. Ask folks who bow hunt in your area what bow shop they reccomend. In my area, I been to several but only one is worth spending my money there. Just sent a good friend of mine to that bow shop with a bow that never got released to the public. He has called me three times already for reccommending that shop because he wasted to much money at others and still had a bad set up.

PSE Stinger, Bear Lights out, Diamond Rapture, Red Head series Chronik..

Don't bowhunt then! Just keeping it real

Parker used to sell acomplete package for $299. A friend of mine got one 2 years ago, still shoots it.Pretty good bang for the buck.

RE: new bowhunter
 

Dude, why would you say something like that???

RE: new bowhunter
 

Josh, I agree with you, that's absolute bunk, just keeping it real.

Why not check out the classifieds for a quality used bow?

RE: new bowhunter
 

oh yeh I forgot Parker makes a good one too!

RE: new bowhunter
 

thanks but how much are they?

RE: new bowhunter
 

o yea, and if anybody would just gimme some preferences on broadheads...

RE: new bowhunter
 

Thanx Rob ;), and I agree,classifieds are an excellent place to look. pahunter, ebay can be great at times also. I got a great deal on my Bowtech there.

RE: new bowhunter
 

the bear lights out would be the best buy for the money and you wont go wrong for the choise. once you pick it up you will no why.

RE: new bowhunter
 

Gander Mountainis a good solid place to start or you can check out Dicks Sporting Goods also. The Diamond line is pretty reasonable starting from the edge to the Justice to the Rock on up to the Liberty. All pun intended, the Rock is a solid buy. :D

I shoot the Black Ice because I was overcome by its awe inspiring beauty. I am actually hoping they will shorten and lighten up the Marquis by about an inch and a few ounces for next year. Be careful man or you will get sucked in like me! [8D]

Whoa just calm down. Im in the same boat as you. You'll get addicted like I did and spend tons of cash in the long run......that is all Im saying. Do what you want I don't care.

RE: new bowhunter
 

pahunter60,
I just bought a Bear lights out for $299 at Gander. Great bow for the money. Also, D**k's Sporting Goods has the Bear Element on sale for $199 which i understand is also a good bow.
Magnus Stingers are $24 for 3 and are broadhead with a good reputation

RE: new bowhunter
