Greetings from another Newbie! Yesterday was my first time going to one of the Buckmasters shows, and as luck would have it, I won a PSE Thundercloud compound bow in a raffle!!! I've been wanting to get started in Bowhunting for quite sometime and now the tiny Bowhunting spark is a full blown raging fire!!! I can't seem to find any info on this model of Bow, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out, and steer me in the right direction. Thanks!!! Maniac

Congrats and welcome aboard. Here is a link to PSE's website. You should be able to find some info there. Good luck!!!!!!

Yeah, I've been on there site, but no information so far. Any experts around here that could help? Thanks people!!! Maniac

My friend killed a doe with one last season but thats about all i can tell you about it, im not into PSE's. But they make decent bows. Good luck.

I would try to find some local archery shops. They should be able to help you no matter what the brand is. Good Luck!

Thanks for the help. I contacted PSE via the telephone and am waiting to hear back from them with some more info on this particular bow. I appreciate your words of encouragement. Later. Maniac

Is there something your looking for in general or more on just that model? The PSE rep should be able to give you bow specs, as in the AMO rating, riser model, (reflex - deflex), limb construction, string and cable length, adjusting draw weight and other related data. It's good info to have, but really not required to start shooting.

I don't mean to test your bow mechanics, but for someone new, you should also seek to understand why the bow does what it does. Be able to identify each part, (riser, limb pockets, limbs, cable, timing marks if applicable, etc.), so you can apply them to tuning and maintaining your equipment when the need arises.

It is important for someone starting out to knowing how the bow functions. This aids in the basics of proper set up. If you set it up incorrectly, performance and accuracy will suffer. Something as simple as attaching the rest, choosing and adjusting your proper draw length will have adverse effects on how well your bow shoots. Afterwards, ensuring that it is timed properly will become paramount. Pick the proper spined shafts and start looking for the other items, such as sights / quiver / releases, and the like, if that is you intend to use them of course.

Maybe you know these things and I've misdiagnosed your inquiry. If not, ask a more direct question and someone here will be quick to lend a hand. Oh, and welcome to the show... it's certainly a good one.

Try the pse forum. Good luck!

Thanks Jollyarcher and MNrut. Yes, I will get to know everything there is to know about this bow, but currently, I don't know anything about it. As I said, I'm just getting started in this sport/lifestyle, and just know I'm going to love it!!!! I am a big tech head anyhow, so learning all about my new bow is paramount. Thanks for all of your help in steering me in the right direction. Later. Maniac
