Looking into getting a new bow next year.

After reading those comparison articles I posted I see why you guys like the Diamond infinite edge better. It's got better speed, cheaper, more kinetic energy... I think I'll plan a visit to archery world and try out there bows or by it off amazon and then bring it in to get it tuned in. Has anyone gone to archery world before in Vancouver?

[lokidog]

I think the advantage of the diamond is that when you do decide to move on, it is a bow that can be used by a lot of different buyers, not just someone with the same build as yourself.

Good luck and have fun!

I get that Amazon is cheaper, but the knowledge and help that can come with buying locally can be priceless. And also if people don't support their local pro shops they will eventually all close down, then we are just left with the big box stores with inadequately staffed employees

[HunterofWA]

I get why you guys wouldn't want to by a bow from a company like Amazon, but I could almost guaranty that it's the same bow package you could get at some other archery products store. I would like to go to an archery pro shop to try out some bows to see which one I would buy, but I might still by it off Amazon, but either way I want to bring it in to a pro shop to learn about the bow and tune it in.

I also can't speak for other shops (esp in your area down south) but mine, with buying hr bow there, any tune ups/weight change etc are no cost cuz I bought there, if you bring in an outside now there is an hourly charge. But not sure how other places are, something to look at

hmmm... I didn't think about that.

I love it how you come on here asking everyone for advice but you have all the answers. Some good advice has been given stop for a second and listen to what people have said. As you get older you will learn.

Cut the young man some slack, he hasn't been rude yet.   Your the one being grumpy.

HunterofWA  check this section out if you haven't already found it. I started trad hunting (or trying to hunt grouse) a few years ago and started a thread and received tons of help from the other trad guys.

Yep! I think it was the rapid fire amazon links that got me.😃

So I should by the Diamond infinite edge bow at archery world, learn about the bow, take care of it so that it will last for other users, and I learn to adhere to other's advice over my own. Got it!

No one will "tell" you what to do, just make recommendations from combined years of experience, take what you will from it. do your research, weigh what you want, and make a decision.

I am Not mocking what anyone has said here, I just kinda put together what I learned so far in a humorous way...  But what I said is about what I need to do, correct?

[HunterofWA]

I'll call Archery world to see if they have that bow there.

I would go there as a start, they might even have some nice "close outs"(yr old models) or know of good used/consignment bows.
Again, just as a starting point, if the price is a huge difference than you can buy elsewhere then you have some things to mull over
