Getting back into it.

[addictedfisherman]

Hey guys so after a 7 year hiatus i have finally decided to get back into archery!
My last bow was a Champion and of course they dont exist anymore!
Heck the last time I bought arrows aluminum s were still the way to go

I have been taking in all the new bows out there and cant seem to find any reliable source for reviews.
I think I have decided on a single cam bow but How do you choose a manufacturer!!!

Everyone seems to make the best bow for the money!!
(its like going from one used car lot to the next lol)

Can anyone suggest a good source for either bow reviews or a brand/ model that they like?

This would be a general purpose bow for target/3D and hunting

I'd certainly appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

Not everyone makes single cam bows. I like them although I don't have one at the moment, I am presently shooting a couple of Hoyt's. I like the smooth draw single cam bows have, I had a Martin but if I buy another it will be a Mathews. Cheers Roscoe

Get out and shoot as many as you can. PSE is coming out with a new solo cam called the prophecy. Have a look at them. The ibo speed is around the 340 fps mark. I can't stress it enough SHOOT LOTS OF DIFFERNT BOWS THEN DECIDE WHAT FITS YOU BEST.

Cheers

They are right you just need to get your hand on as many bows as you can and find what you like, coincidence has it I'm sellin my whole set up right now (diamond outlaw) if you want to try it out let me know

Good luck. It's always fun trying new bows

I went through the bow buying process last year. I think there are many different good quality bows out there these days and it comes down to finding one that suits and fits you AND you guessed it, you have to get out and test drive as many as possible.

I like my quest (Rev) bow, as it is high quality but not overly high dollars. I also really liked the bow tech assassin. I never pulled a lot of really high end stuff as it just wasn't in my budget. I focused on finding a forgiving bow, that fit me and I could shoot well (for a beginner).

You can look on here for deals or try your luck on the archery talk forum. Lots of guys on there sell last years model at 1/3 - 1/2 the price. There are lot of gear junkies on there who are always upgrading.

Good luck in your search.

Your all wrong. Mathews makes the best bow regardless of what your using it for, Targets, 3D Targets, Moving targets, Big game hunting, Bird hunting or random arrow flinging. Mathews is a cut above the rest!!
