Help me with 1st bow
Gutpile:
I just bought a little land and want to buy a bow. Problem is, I've never bow hunted. I don't know jack squat about bows. For now I would just hunt deer and possible turkeys because we have both on the property but as I look at different options they talk about pounds and lengths and it's all foreign to me. I know about ballsitics, reloading, different calibers but I'm a fish out of water with bows, I don't even know where to start to look, I didn't even know that broadheads had different weights, figured they were all the same.. I don't want to go to a shop and get hosed so help a guy out. LoL. Hell , I don't even know the different makes. Hoyt comes to mind but that's about it. Help me out a bit, you can laugh at me later. :tup:

Hey,
You will get a lot of different answers and opinions on this as everybody is looking for something a little different. The best answer is to figure out your budget for complete set up and then shoot as many as you can in that budget to see what you like. I just purchased a new bow this year and thought I narrowed it down to a couple bows until someone recommended trying another bow, I ended up liking that better than the prospects I had been researching and shooting. I was looking at the bowtech realm, realm x, pse evolve 31, evolve 35, and ended up with an obsession fixation 7xp. :twocents:

You need to figure out your draw length first off. Lots of good you tube videos.
If you buy used buy with the correct lenght or make sure the bow is adjustable. Some are easy some arnt. Where you licated?

I'm in Spokane. I'm going to go out to Spokane Valley Archery and look around. I've heard that they are a little difficult to deal with if you're not "in the know" but I don't really like the big outfits like Cabelas. As far as budget goes, what's reasonable for a complete setup? I do pretty well so I don't have to scrimp too much but I don't want to be stupid either. I guess I had an arbitrary figure of about $1200. Feeling overwhelmed though. I looked at the Bowtech and Hoyt sites and they have so damn many to choose from. Now I know how these kids who have never shot a gun or hunted before feel when they want to finally give it a go. LOL

Don't forget to try an Elite, I'd stick with elite, bowtec or hoyt. But like someone said on here, try some bows out and see what really feels good. My buddy has a brand new bowtec for sale he won at a banquet, prob sell cheaper than advertised, has sites, quiver and rest.
