Question about bow shops, in the market for a new bow
« on: October 01, 2016, 04:29:02 PM »
Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for a new bow and am always hampered by the fact that I have a long draw (31") and am left-handed.  So, that means the shops never have anything on the rack that I can shoot to try before purchasing.  I've shot right-handed versions as an approximation, but it's not the same.

Do you know if it's possible to get the manufacturer to send a dealer the correct bow for me in order to try, knowing that I might not end up buying it?  I'm struggling to drop a grand on a new bow without even shooting it!

Thanks for the help,

David

You didn't give a location. New models come out soon.  Riverside Archery  in Mount Vernon  is who I use.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I live in the Shoreline area.  I've gone to Riverside a couple years back, thought the shop and employees treated me well.  I think I shot a PSE there?  I'm keying in the Elite bows due to their supposed "shootability", but waiting until the new models come out is a good suggestion.  I've been using a Bowtech Insanity for the past four years and been happy with it, just haven't seen/heard anything good from them recently to motivate me to buy another..
