I've been looking into archery hunting and after talking to everyone they say get the best bow you can afford, "you will see the difference"
So about 3 years ago I bought a bow, nothing fancy just a little PSE Stinger. For being unemployed and still in high school it was pretty fairly priced AND onsale. I took the money I saved and invested in nice arrows, arrow rest, sight, and release. All in all I think I have $450 or so invested.
Since then I have taken it into bow shops to have them help me paper tune it and to show me how to do basic work on it, the one day I also asked what the shop owner recomended as far as broad heads. His buddy was also there and his buddies reply was something like "with a bow like that I would stick to rifle hunting." The owner just giggled and then told me muzzy. Didn't help me with 3 or 4 blade or what weight to shoot.
That wholeexperience just ruffled my feathers and since I haven't really done much more than shot the bow a few times. Its been collecting dust so I got wondering what makes bows better than others? I understand where some of these new light weight bows are easier to pack and how a faster arrow would have better stopping power? (Wouldn't it?) But is hunting with my little stinger a lost cause?
