    After spending my first ten years of bow hunting with a PSE Deer Hunter I picked up my new bow last Wednesday. I had a budget of $800. I ended up with a Hoyt Charger at 70# with a 27.5" draw. It is a considerable upgrade over what I have been shooting. Instead of going with the standard fuse accessory package I opted to keep the Whisker Biscuit and upgrade the sight to a Black Gold Ambush Ascent single-pin adjustable. I tried several other bows in my price range and felt like the Charger was the best shooting experience. I forgot to put the stabilizer on for the pictures. I have to remove it in order to fit the bow into my case.

    I am hoping to take my first elk and maybe a moose with it this fall. Time to get practicing.

    Hey same bow and draw weight/length. Its a sweet shooter! I replaced the stock fuse strings on it pretty quick with some 60x Custom Strings in BCY X, they don't fray nearly as easily as the fuse which I believe were BCY 452
