hi i am new to this forum and i want to say hi! well i have been shooting recurve bows for 6 years and i really didn't find them suitable for me to hunt with. I am a lefty with bows, and I hunt rabbits, possums, squirrels, and racoons. anyone have any sugestions on what compound bow to purchase? thanks! ps. (im a little tight on my budget)

If the budget is tight I would look at the "Slightly used" market. Bows depreciate rapidly and lots of people upgrade them yearly so thier loss is your gain.

Terry, I'm suprised you didn't mention the reflex line of bows considering you own one. They are resonably priced with a lot of speed and good looks. My buddy got a timberwolf completely set up for $300. You might be able to find a similar deal Qwerty.

Shoot as many different ones as you can then buy what feels best, even on a budget you should be able to get what you want if you look in the right places. try the classifieds here and try ebay. But go to a couple of bow shops first so you can shoot some and find out what you like.

peebles gave great advice.

Also, check out the classifieds here and at archerytalk.com there are thousands of bows to choose from.

Mathews makes a very good bow.

Hey DoubleEdge,
Please direct me to where your friend got the Timberwolf, setup, for
$300. I've been after one for a while, or a Buckskin. I dont care if its last years model. I'm from NC and would like to know. Send me a PM or E-mail if you want!
