Gun Or Bow
Heres the situation...
Ive got $656 to buy a new gun or bow with.
Ive already got the gun (.22-250) in the lay away and I really want it, BUT, I found a hoyt Xtec, the bow I have always wanted, on sale for $475. I owe $430 on the .22-250.
If I buy the bow I will have $137 left in the bank which most of that will go to buyin a quiver, maybesights($50), and other accessories. I have arrows and broadheads and some sites off a my old PSE that might fit.
If I buy the .22-250 I will have $226 left in the bank, some ofthat will go to buyin reloading dies($30), bullets($15), case trimmers($8), powder($21) and other reloading stuff.
I might be able to get away with fitting the quiver from the PSE to the hoyt if I get it.
Anyway, what money I'll have left in the bank isnt whats aggravating me, its deciding which to get.

RE: Gun Or Bow
depends on which one you need more. Do you already have a varmint rifle? Do you already have a bow? Get the one that you don't have. Heck, get the bow if it's on sale. The rifle will cost you another $400-$600 extra for a decent scope, rings, bases, bipod, and sling if you already don't have them. Eventually you'll need both. It's a matter of which one to get first!

RE: Gun Or Bow
Although I love my gun's ,I find that my bow is the most important piece of my hunting gear .My gun's don't get a lot of work these day's because I prefer to use my bow all the time now and just can't put it down.
