bows????

Sounds like a real good deal you got going on there.

Shoot lots of bows and see what you like. I shot several and went with the PSE.
 
I like the new matthews with the roller ball. SO quiet and smooth...but let me HIGHLY recommend an arrow rest. Its a Vital Bow Gear (www.vitalgear.net). Click on arrow rests and watch the video on the Kaz Away 07 fall away rest. I have had one just like it on my bow for 3 years, and to be honest will never have any other type of fall away rest on there. IT IS AWESOME, and so convenient. Runs about $100 but is worth every cent.
 
Nothing beats a good trad bow for hunting, I hunt with a older martin recurve the nice part is I dont need to learn yardage estimation to hit my target. I recently sold my compounds to fully make the switch and to get a little money toward my new bow it will most likely be a black widow recurve. No need for a range finder or release sights or any of the stuff that gets in the way, I like the freedom feeling I get with my recurve, and a trad bow is easily field servicable you can replace the string in seconds without tools.
 
I shoot the Mathews Swithback XT, but I must ask am I the only one who has a hard time plopping down a 1000 bucks for a decked out bow while the value falls like a rock? Do they know what kind of gun we can buy for a grand and get reasonable return on it later! Man thats one hard pill to swallow!
 
I bought a Hoyt Trykon XLT last season. Upgraded from an old PSE that seemed to work fine for me. But after months of trying different bows I coudlnt believe how accurate my Hoyt was when I took it home. I spent alot of time after deer season shooting squirls in my yard I can pin them to a tree at 30yds. I won't ever shoot a deer out east with a rifle ever again. This year I killed 6 bucks and 11 does with it. I do hunt at work though with it so its easy to know where the deer are.
 
dont be discuraged from shooting traditional I shoot a mikuta td recurve, bear supermag48, and a grand river rd longbow
 
Nothing at all wrong with Trad gear....I'm shooting this Saxon Longbow, and a Wes Wallace TD recurve.

Abolt,
I know I am 2 or 3 pages into this thread but please, for your enjoyment's sake, listen to some of these guys that are telling you to shoot as many DIFFERENT bows as you can. Don't just buy a Matthews or Hoyt because everyone says that they can't be beat! I have not shot a Matthews yet that is comfortable to me (flame away gents, but remember that I said it isn't comfortable to ME), but I have a buddy that only shoots them and loves them! Anyway, try out everything you can before you make a decision.
 
I agree with you, and others, who said shoot as many as you can. Buy what FITS you!! Don't just buy a name to impress your buddies.
 
I shot Hoyts for over 10 yrs.I wanted to purchase a new bow last fall and although Hoyts,Mathews and Bowtech are awesome bows I had to limit myself on what I could spend.I ended up choosing a Parker Trailblazer over a Diamond.The Parker shoots as well as any of the Hoyts I owned in the past.I agree with everyone else,shoot alot of different makes and choose the one that fits you the best.
 
last fall i bought the mathews drenalin and it is just awesome. but so was the hoyt i think with all the competition in the bow market all the higher end bows are great it turns into a witch one is better remington or winchester or ford and chevy arguement. just buy the most comfortable. i also shoot a black widow recurve and that is the so much fun to shoot. if you ever get a chance to shoot a hi quality recurve you will be hooked!!!good luck
 
there is no bad bow on the market today in my opinion. The speed isnt a huge issue either unless your planning on shooting out 50 yards and even then in my opinion thats unethical because that animal will move in the time it takes for your arrow to get there. I totally agree with wishin4dogs he has it right get one that you like the feel of. And dont worry if you think it is to outdated a person today can go to a bow shop spend some money on some accessories ad get it shooting some great specs at very quite sounds its pretty hard to find a bow that isnt going to kill a deer now days and even then it will be harder to find a older bow that can't be made better. Bottom line spend what you think you can on a bow that fits you. Brand name doesnt mean a whole lot more than your customer service but 99 percent of the time when a gets broke a bow shop around you will have hte part on hand. So again spend your money on a bow that fits you not on the name.
