So many bows to choose from

[shotgun]

Going to look at bows tomorrow and hopefully purchase one. Any good suggestions on good brands/models. im leanin towards the new pse brute x with the skullworks. I need recommendations!

 

[stik]

shoot as many different bows as you can get your hands on. you will know when you shoot "the one".

Like Stik said you will know it when you shoot it. All Bow companies have good products now. I love the skullworks camo. The only bad I hear now days is that Bowtech's customer service blows!

There are an awful lot of good bow companies out there. Don't get drawn in by what's popular - shoot and find what you like. With all that said, I recommend you try a Hoyt before you decide. I bought Hoyt probably 8 years ago. Hunting with same bow, only put new string on it. Great bow - quiet as a mouse.

I think another thing to consider is a good pro shop. I really like to buy a bow where I feel confident in the shop to work on it if needed.

Good suggestions here!

Except, I have never had a problem with Bowtechs Customer Service, especially if you have a good dealer for their brands.
I have called them up myself and gotten parts, decals, etc etc
They are a super good company.

Mathews..........

Mathews and you can't go wrong!

buy used!!! there price goes down by 50% before you leave the parking lot and next yr your bow will be obsolete anyway (althouigh any bow is an obsolete weapon)

Stik gives great advice. (Did I really say that???) ;)

Remember one thing, almost all bows kill. You may look sexier and get more gals in a 2013 Corvette, but that 1982 Chevette will still take you to the store and back... same as it's high horsepower, sleek and shiny, sexy nephew.

That being said, I shoot a Mathews. :)

I am a close range bowhunter....past 20 yards, I wait. Really.

most any bow will kill a deer and do it efficiently out to 20 yards, and where I hunt shooting past that distance is really not very high pecentage.

The farther you plan to shoot, the better the bow , imo.

Most shots I have taken are inside 15 yards. It's hard to miss those...lol.

well i ended up goin with the pse brute x. i thought it was a pretty bad little bow for the money. i guess if they put down deer thats what matters.

Congrats on your new bow SG. I hope to see a few kill pictures come September and October.

Here is to you having a very bloody Fall.
