Would a place like gander mountain have good bows there? if i get one(cause im savin up for one) i dont really wanna buy it off the internet. Or what other stores might have some decent ones for a lower price?

If you want to drive ther is a fine store in Jackson that can set you up with anything. Schupbach's is the name of it and they have alot of traditional and compounds alike for reasonable prices. They have just about anything you would need for hunting. I can't remember where Jenison is but ther shoul be a bow shop somewhere around. I would steer clear of chain stores . Good luck-Jerry

I like to give my business to small bow shops - they'll support down the road.

jenison is right close by grand rapids, but i cant drive yet, all i got is my permit and i dont think my parents would want to drive all that way

If Gander Mountain has them yes. Martin and Bear are all quality bows.

If your Gander has bear bows, then go with that. They are good bows and wont break the bank. Personaly I dont care to much for Gander there service after the sale is for SH*%. Down with the big box!

WC, There is a place in Hastings called Bob's Gun and Tackle. He has alot of good stuff also.Hastings would be pretty close to you, its southeast of you maybe 20 to 30 miles.

i htink my uncle bought a rifle from bobs gun and tackle. but me and my dad just went to gander mountain yesterday and all they had was compound bows and a couple cross bows nothin else. maybe i'll have to go to bobs gun and tackle and take a look.

thanks

white I see you live in Mich. Why don't you go toi the Compton shoot in Mich. next weekend and look at all the bows that will be there. I would recomemd you look up Tracy Trickett from Acient Spirits bows. Tracy was at Cloverdale andhad a good inventory of some really nice bows.

i dont even know where compton is and i cant drive, and my dad and especially mom wouldnt really wanna go with me there. i not bein able to drive. but since im really limited where i could go, wut would be some websites that i could check out that has nice bows that arent very expensive.

thanks again everyone for the suggestions
