I'm not really brand picky with bows (not yet
) But a good friend of my dad's recommended anything by Mathews, Bowtech or Hoyt and I should be fine. I was looking at the charger due to the price and I've heard good things. He shot a lot of custom, heavy long bows and is old school so he doesn't dabble much in compounds.
I figured anything popular, with a good reputation should do the trick as a first bow. I want it to last a few years and be able to take it elk hunting next year.
I have a 2010 PSE Vendetta XL I'm not using. 35" ATA, adjustable draw lengths from 26-31 no cam change or module change necessary 60-70 lb that I'm not using. Pretty smooth drawing bow with decent speed. I'd sell that setup for less than $500.
