OBs advice on a new bow

LINK

Look at this website. They set up the bow and tune it all at a reasonable price and ship in a reasonable amount of time. I would call them tomorrow and describe your needs to them, they have helped me on numerous occasions.

I would shoot as many bows as you can till you find the one that feels good to you. Then find the best deal on that bow. Just bc a Matthews Bowtech Hoyt etc. is good for some ppl doesn't mean that will be the best bow for you.

Have you bow hunted before or just beginning?

was dead set on a matthews mainly because of the name until I shot a bowtech.

I've had an Ally since 07 and can't get rid of it

Keep looking at new bows but just can't justify dropping 1k on something that doesn't kill any deader than the one I've got.

And to the OP, if you are just starting out, you can find some 06-09 models of Bowtechs for much more reasonable prices over the Mathews line usually. Mathews fanboys will try to get their money back on resales more times than not. I'd look at the Allegiance, Patriot, Guardian, Admiral, etc. if you're just trying to get started. Put a Saunders cable slide on and a good sight and strings and you're good to go.

There's a reason for that. Those bows are junk.

In the last six years I've owned a bow made by each of the "Big Three". OP-take the advice of others and shoot different bows until you find what you like. Finally, there's a reason that Mathews bows command a higher price in the used market, and its because people are willing to pay it.....

I shoot a Ross now, it's several years old.I have owned Mathews a Mathews switchback and outback. I like both of them, but I recently just shot an Elite...It's money. It will be my next one.
