Best Bow for the Money!...........?
 

So i am now 14 years old, just grown out of my youth bow and i need a new one. I do not have a job nor does my dad (used to be a drug rep.)
obviously i cant just go out and by a 1000$ matthews but i do LOVE bear! I've been using there bows for as long as i can remember and ive taken two bucks with mine. I have been looking at the Charge and the Mauler. i cant believe that the charge is only 300$ not set up. the mauler is 400$ not set up ad ive done research on the charge and everyone has been saying its the best bow in its price range. what do you think, suggestions? preferences? etc. thanks for the help.

My first three bows were bear bows. For the price you can't beat em. I would defenetely go with a bear if you are on a budget.

My friend just got a charge the other day and he says he loves it. It looks like and sounds like it is smooth to me.

Check out the Diamond Razors Edge package. That bow will do you until you can afford your $1000 Mathews, if that's what you want!

I bought one for my son and it is really a fine bow for $400!!

thanks! i just found the package on dick's for 329$, i now thinks its down between that and the charge, the mauler, or the martin bone hunter.

I got the Bear charge and I love it. I smoked this bad boy with the charge this year! Its so smooth and quiet. Put the sims dampening system on the bow to reduce the hand shock and you got a bow that has the quality of i higher end bow.

There's much bang for the buck with used bows

wow! what a trophy! i got a nine point with my bear odyssey II saturday morning, not quite as big as this monster buts its very respectable for Pennsylvania

PSE makes some nice bows that are inexpensive. I shoot a PSE stinger, which goes for 299 bare bow. No complaints here. Kills deer just fine:).

check out the 2011 mission bows, the craze it goes up to 70#
My son will be getting this bow for next year, he is out growing his menace, the craze is only 299 bucks. I shot the mission Endevour sweet bow at 399 bucks,venture is 499 this might be my new bow for
next season.

I really love the venture. Sweet bow.

Last year I picked up a fred bear element. 50-60# and nailed my buck with it last year. I upgraded this year, just for a faster speed and more power, but the bear bows are great for the price. I picked mine up cheap used, and I'll be passing it onto my younger brother.. one of them at least.

Nice job, kid! They train'em young in PA. Now please don't say you're gonna go bowhunt in Illinois when you grow up! There's already a PA plate in every lot here and you could do some damage at your rate! :)

Get on ebay and you can find great deals on bows. Used/new whatever. I wanted Hoyt Maxxis 31. Called local shop 949. Called my old dealer in kansas, 747 brand new. Got on ebay. 590 after shipping and everything. Bow prices change according to demand in different regions. But get on ebay. I love my hoyt maxxis 31.

I too would check Ebay. There are some quality used bows to be had in the $400.00 price range. I still shoot a Mathews Feathermax which was their 1997 model. I bought it new and have only changed the string. All the limbs, cams, etc, are original. It shoots 285 FPS and is quiet. The bucks have no idea what the arrow is being shot out of. I LOVE that bow and don't know if I will ever lay it down. The only way it gets retired is if it breaks. No matter what you choose, I wish you the best of luck.

lmao i can see why. when you hunt the mountains in PA a nice buck is a skinny 6 point!!! lol. i hunt suburban areas with my bow ( yes alot of poeple hate that) but ive seen a buck in my woods that will score atleast 110. pretty good for PA!

I, as others have stated, would suggest going the used route. You can get an almost new top of the line bow, usually decked out with decent gear for close to the same price as a new lower end bow.

seen a bunch of quest qs 33 on ebay for $279,,

My vote goes to the 2011 Bowtech Asassian. $599 for a fully decked out bow with IBO speeds of 330+ is a steal! That is if you have that much to speed on a bow. There is nothing wrong with a $300 or so package bow it will get the job done just as good!

With the Bowtech Asassian all you need extra is a release, arrows and something sharp on the end and you are ready to go! The quest bows are so nice shooters but by the time you pay around $300 for the bow and another couple hundred on the stuff to go on it you could have bought an Asassian with sights, peep, Octane quiver, sling, Octane stabilizer and rest. Sounds like a no brainer to me. But really it is what fits you best and not what name is on the bow.
