I was presented this package and wanted to know what people think about the bow if they have used one or if they own one. A little about myself on helping choose. i need a bow with a 32 pull and a weight of 60-70 so im kinda limited i was told but was told that this would be a good starter bow for me. Let me know what you all think. THANKS!

shoot it and see what you think. It looks fine to me, montana black gold is a good site. Scott makes great releases, ICS are great arrows, If you can shoot good groups with it, who cares what brand it is. Have fun!
-
I have already shot it in the store yesterday and its a very smooth shooting bow and and i like how it handles. i really do like it but what do i know about bows? Thats why im offering it up to the PROS! ;)
-
With a 32 pull you might want them to put an overdraw on it, so you can have more selection for arrows. You'll end up shooting what most "normal" people do without an overdraw. Speaking from my own experience anyway.
This one says if you like it buy it.
-
Whats an overdraw? im new to these concepts.
-
I could be wrong, but I thought that bow only went to 30" draw? You said you shot it at the store? It seems you would not be pulling back to a comfortable anchor spot if you have a 32" draw?
-
Yes im pretty sure it does have a max draw of 30 i think and when i shot it it felt fine. Adding the loop will help it also. I was also told that being shorter draw is better then being too long.
-
adding the loop will help anchor point but it doesn't add to draw length. and it certainly doesn't add 2". unless your a big guy, your probly not 32" draw. and thats probly why it felt good. the main thing is shooting it and getting the feel for a bow (which you said you did) and if it felt good to you, thats what matters. as for shorter draw being better, it depends on who you ask. the longer the draw the faster the bow and flat shootn arrows. my :twocents:
