Got the bride talked into a new bow setup. So I thought I'd let the OB Ballers help me pick it out. Compound of course.

Ill hang up and listen.

I knew I forgot something.

I would like to keep the whole setup less than 1k. I know some get up there in price but, no more than 1200 and preferably between 500-750.

Diamond or Fred Bear

Bear is probably your best bet.

That's what I figured. Go shoot whatever is in your price range and buy what you like. Nobody makes a bad bow these days in the 300-1000 dollar range.

Start at the bottom and work your way up. The $1k rigs are super fine, but not worth the extra cost IMO.

I'm a major fan of bear bows, but I shoot a diamond and love it.

I got mine from a guy in Chalmette, I can get you his number. He has a shop down there.

A guy I hunt with just got the Helium last week and he only paid $900. It was set up pretty good.

The guy is nice and very helpful.

Why a Matthews over a Hoyt or Bow Tech.

They are really not worth the price. They cost twice as much as a bear, but are absolutely no where near twice as good as a bear.

Sorry, but a $300 bear is just as nice as a $800 mathews. Hate to see people waste their money on a name.
