I can get this bow for 250.00...if anyone else wants one I can give you the guys number. They are right handed bows. This would be my very first bow. I'm wanting something reliable, but I'm new to the bow game. I don't know a whole lot about them. Of course the shop is saying its top of the line, but they are there to make money. Know what I mean ? Any advice would be helpful..Thanks..

I know a couple people that shoot PSE and swear by them. You really Don't have to buy Mathews, Hoyt, Bowtech, etc. to get a good bow. (and thats as unbiased as it gets as I shoot a Mathews). I would honestly say for a first bow, go for it. 250 seems like a good deal in my opinon..

I've shot a PSE for several years. They're good bows. Doesn't sound like a bad deal. If that's all I wanted to spend, then yes, I would buy it. Used bows that age are not much less from my experience.

Do they have one set up that you could shoot? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Don't buy it unless you want to own it.

I would say that is a pretty good deal. There are guys in these neck of the woods who shoot them and love then. They say they will always own a PSE. If i were you i would go in and shoot the bow make sure it is comfortable for you. If its not comfortable to you i wouldnt buy it if it was $50. Give it a try. Hope that helps

Actually the bow is left over from 2008. My bad. Yes, they have one set up that I can shoot. I'm gonna go from there. I've heard nothing but good things about it my self.

From someone who shoots a Parker, a sincere thank you for not trying to push the "big name" brands on people. There's nothing wrong with the big boys in my opinion, I just think some make the mistake of buying the name rather than buying the best bow for them.

If I had a spare 250 I would tell ya to pick one up for me. Very good deal in my opinion but definatly make sure it is a good fit for you first.

When I shot competitive archery years ago (17th in nation at the nationals) I shot a PSE. I also shot a Jennings and was sponsored by Bear. PSE (at least at that time) was the best.

Pete Shepley (owner) of PSE is a dink though.

And when I shot for Bear I sat and had a nice long one on one talk with Fred Bear once. That was really neat. He always had a drink in his hand LOL.

Thanks for all the replies guys. As I said, its actually left over from 2008. I'm gonna shoot it, and see how it feels. Some people have said this too, but it doesn't matter the brand. What matters is how it feels for me ;)
