Good deal or not.

Thanks for the offer Bearpaw but from the sounds of it i got a steal of a deal. Let me think for a minute..........naaa think i will hang on to it.   LOL

How do you know when you goit a good deal?  When someone offers to give you what you paid for something....

Confucius say you are very wise.....LOL

Took it too the bow shop and got it all checked out. It didn't need a thing, they measured my draw length and even it was set up right for me. Thank you all for the advice lets hope i can post some pics this fall of a nice dear i took with it. Experience tells me it might be a year or two before that happens and i get proficient with the bow and stalking.

Not sure if its been mentioned here yet but find a good instructor and take a few lessons. It will take years off of your learning curve. Also get out and shoot some 3d's. Great hunting practice and even better for yardage estimation practice.

Shoot a lot. In the summer, I shoot 25-50 arrows a day. If the weather is bad, I shoot in the garage at 10 yards. Any practice is better than no practice. I found that a lot of accuracy, came from repetitive shooting, and developing muscle memory. It also helps you get in shape to shoot. You will find that you will discover muscles you didn't know you had.

Good advice man. I picked up a bear charge 2010 last friday off of seattle guns and have shot it everyday since i got it and plan on doing so till the season starts. i can already feel my draw getting smoother and i'm quicker to get my pin where it needs to be.

My hunting partner and i are both greenies and we have a mutual friend who shots competition and is going to teach us both. I am a member of the Machias gun range and they have a great archery range along with one hell of a target course set up in the summer. So we will be spending allot of time their practicing and be schooled by a professional.

How do you like that bow? My father-in-law wants to take up archery, but I don't think he wants to spend the money on a new Matthew's. I suggested a Bear, for the price range, but I haven't shot them much.

[dirty24d]

To me it seems really nice and easy to shoot, smooth.   Now that being said I know nothing about bows. But i had  couple of guys who do tell me its a really smooth great bow for the money, and very easy to adjust to fit your needs.
