Madhouse Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 I'm thinking about going to Bass Pro tomorrow and getting a compound bow. I've got some opportunities to bow hunt deer this fall with some friends. I haven't shot a bow since I was in high school, so I'm not sure what to expect when I start picking out equipment.I know that I will be getting measured for proper pull length, and I will shoot a few different bows in their indoor range to find the right one for me.Any advice is welcomed... <thumbsup>
Model1911 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 I have two (a PSE Stinger, 45-60lbs, 4.7lbs) and a (Mission Craze, 15-70lbs user adjustable w/o bow press, 3.6lbs). Both are fine I prefer to carry the Craze as its shorter/lighter. Most national brands are pretty good; it depends on your personal perference and how much you wish to spend. Good luck with your search/purchase.
Robocop1051 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Mathews Bows!Build one for exactly what you need HERE
Magwa Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Just buy a bowtech and be done with it you will not be disappointed.
BLKSHEEP Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Bass Pro has some good bows that will do the job but if you are looking for the high end bows you will have to find a pro shop,Bass Pro is not a pro shop. Bowtech,Mathews,PSE & Hoyt are the best of the best. As far as broad heads go Rage broadheads have great reviews,if you prefer fixed blades look at the Muzzys. I shoot a 10yr. old PSE @73lbs D.W. w/Muzzy 4 blade broad heads.... I'd like a new Bowtech but I spent all my $$$ on a AR ;D
Magwa Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 On broadheads make sure mechanical ones like the rage are legal in your state In Idaho here all mechanical broadheads are illeagal....
Madhouse Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Bought a Matthews today from an archery store. Got the Venture model. I was there for quite a while while the guy set it up with the sight, stabilizer, quiver, rest, etc. Then I did some shooting and last last three shots at 20 yards were inside of 3" of each other. It's so smooth, can't wait to kill some pigs.
Madhouse Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 Shooting at 50' in my back yard. The longest range inside the fence is 70', should be good for practice anyway. <thumbsup>
