Pse make a good bow and you say you like it so why would you want to change? I know, got the itch. What do you dislike about the nova that you would like in a new bow? Will you be faithful to PSE or are you looking for a diffrent manufacturer?

Help us out:)

Why are you looking to buy a new bow if you like he one you have. I shoot a Hoyt and love it. I have shot a lot of different bows and I still like my Hoyt. I shoot with a lot of guys who shoot Mathews and I take a lot of crap from them but when we go and pull the arrows out of the target mine are right there with them. The way I see it is it is not the bow it is the person shooting it. You can have the fastest and lightest bow on the market and still not be a good bw hunter

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

They ALL make good bows. Some make good expensive bows. Some make good affordable bows. And there are a few good, inexpensive bows out there - like your Nova. You need to decide what price range you're after - including whatever accessories you intend to buy with it - and that would help narrow down the choices for you.

Otherwise you're going to get a complete listing of every bow in every manufacturer's catalog by asking a question like this.

Bowtech, Mathews, Hoyt, and Martin.

Look into just about any bow from them.

Bowtech: Liberty, Patriot, Justice, Mighty Might, Extreme.
Mathews: LX, Outback.
Hoyt: ???
Martin: Slayr, Razor X, Prolwer SE, Jaguar.

I would look into any of those bows. They seem to be the most popular and widely used. I'm not a big Hoyt person so I'm not sure what to look into when it comes to them. The main thing is to go to your local Pro Shop and try out as many different bows as you can. Choose one in your price range that you're comfortable shooting. That's the big thing, you need to be comfortable with the bow you're shooting. Good luck, let us know what you decide!

I think the first question that has to be asked is how much will your budget allow? We can probably narrow down your choices at that point.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

My budget will allow about 350$-400$.I like Bowtech and mathews

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

I'm sure if that's what you like you might just be able to find last years model on e-bay or hunters friend if you don't mind a used bow ,you can find some in very good shape pretty reasonable. You need to know your dimension's and to narrow down your choices on these brands as well.

Well, unfortunately in that price range I personally do not know of a new Bowtech or Mathews that you can buy. I may be mistaken though. Do you need accessories as well such as sights, arrows, etc...? If so it's going to be pretty tough to get into a BT or Mat for that price.

Check the classifieds here and here's a link to ebay.

Personally, I would upgrade the accessories with the $350 - $400 you are willing to spend. Nothing at all wrong with the bow, but if you bought the combo, the accessories are lacking in quality.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

I agree with Josh. Two years ago I bought a low end Hoty called the MT Sport. It came set up with a half dozen carbon arrows for 350.00. Yes it is a low end bow but all I needed to change were the sights. So if you like your bow just upgrade it with newer stuff. I do not think you are going to find a Mathews for what you want to spend.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

There is nothing wrong with the PSE Nova. It is an entirely functional bow though it may be lacking some of the "Bells and Whistles" of the more expensive models. If you are looking for something a bit faster and a bit more expensive than any of the $300 to $400 North American Archery Group (Jennings, Buckmasters, Fred Bear) or Martin bows would be my suggestion. Both are of good quality considering the price.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

I hate PSE, and HOYT they just arent as reliable as Mathews. HOYTs are very very fast but just not as reliable as mathews. right now i am shooting a Alpine Impact Extreme, a very fast, smooth, and quiet bow. Ive shot a mathews LX, and that is a very dependable bow.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

Go to a pro shop and see if you can find what your looking for in last years models,likely get a real good deal on accesories as well,better yet see if the dealer has any "trade in's" that are already accesorized.Also have you thought about the layaway plan.You can shoot it at the shop till the bow is paid for--------just a few ideas:)

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

also dont listen to any one about how bad a bow is shoot one for yourself. i just bought a hoyt razortec and it is a very very nice bow.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

Jake, I have a quick question...
How long have you been shooting Mathews, to be able to compare them to PSE and Hoyt, which by the looks of things you have shot for an extensive period of time, right?

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

I myself do not bash any bow I like my Hoyt and I shoot with alot of guys who shoot Mathews and I take a lot of crap from them but in the end mine shoots just as good and I paid half the price

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

MERLIN
MARTIN
BOWTECH

Check these out and deside for yourself , many more I have not mentioned . These would be the first three Id look at .

Ultimatly it comes down to what you wish to accomplish with it,such as hunting,3-d,indoor,outdoor, or something as simple as the range. Their are many quality bows in your price range, so start their, then upgrade if you wish as you go along. Visit your local pro shop and shoot the bows in your price range.It does not matter what make it is or how much it costs as long as your happy with it,and it performs the way you want it to.

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

I agree with oniedaeagle. All the brands of bows are good that are spoke about here. And just remember it`s not always about speed! The nova is a good affordable bow that can get the job done! But if your mind is really made up on buying a new bow you may have to spend a little more to get the kind of bow your talking about;)

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

i suggest you go out and shoot every type of bow you can get yer hands on and decide for yourself what you want.
sure worked for me!
have fun and enjoy!:D

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

I agree with S.B.D. shoot everything and go from there. I wanted a Hoyt when I went looking and ended up with an AR. Shooting everything is the fun part!

RE: What is a good bow to get.Let me know.....
 

you guys r forgeting one other company and that is reflex. I just Purchaced a reflex grizzly and love it. Its fast, quiet, and has basicaly no vibrations. and the prices are very affordable.
