Thinking about a new bow
Re: Thinking about a new bow
I would look into Bear bows. Really great shooting for a reasonable price. I was in your same spot last year, went with the bear and couldn't be more stoked for it

I shoot a hoyt x tech love it can pick them up for really cheap. in my opinion hoyt is the strongest bow out there last year mine bounced off my wheeler and i ran it over an skided on it NOTHING broke re bent my arrow rest and took a few tuning shots and next day harvested my buck.
Re: Thinking about a new bow
I shoot an Elite Archery bow, and have killed many a deer with it. It's plenty fast, feels good albeit a little heavy. I've been around a few Mathews, and they are way quiet. Impressively quiet, even. My friend is a die hard Hoyt fan. He shoots a lot of competition with them and swears there isn't anything better. So the best thing would be, what someone had mentioned earlier, and shoot as many different makes and models as you can. It'll come down to personal preference.

I shot the Diamond Outlaw last night and I think I'm in love. Smooth, fast, quiet, and not too hard on the wallet

I once had a wise friend who is an archery nut. Tell me to let the bow pick you not you pick the bow. I thought he was crazy at first, but after shooting them over and over and really thinking about it I got what he meant. Youll know when it is the right bow for you.

Re: Thinking about a new bow
Check out the hoyt rampage, if you like the feel and fit it seems like a good buy, a lil pricy depending on your price range but I shot it it at the shop and felt it was well worth it. Or find used boys close on a classified sight. But ask someone you know with experience before buying anyting used....

I'm 16 and found a Strother SR-71 for $375, and it's way quieter than the big brands and it's fun to shoot!
