I know a fella that runs a bow shop and he said he'll sell be any 2010 model bow in his shop at cost. He carries PSE, Quest and Darton. I was looking at buying a used bow but this seems like a good deal. He doesn't have a shooting range in the shop, he's just started the little shop, so I can't really shoot any of them. Any suggestions within the brands I should try? He only has one Quest left, not sure of the model. He was trying to get me to get me to buy the PSE Axe 6 before I left but wanted to look into the bows first. Any help?
I'd stay away from the Axe 6 as a starter bow. I won't hunt with a 6" brace height bow and have yet to shoot one that I could say I enjoyed shooting, although admittedly, I haven't shot an Axe 6. They're just generally not forgiving enough for my taste. The Quest is what caught my eye at first read.
I heard some good things about the newer Dartons, think they are the 3500 and the 2500. I have not shot them myself. I say go out and shot them all.
Ive also heard alot of positive about some of the new diamonds...i shot the black ice and its super smooth not to fast but plenty fast to kill a deer
what i dug about that primal was it had such a great draw cycle. very smooth for a bow pushing 335. Great fit and finish, fantastic backwall i was just flat impressed
Saving a few dollars but paying the price of being stuck with a product you aren't happy with or can't get serviced isn't a good deal. Most bowshops have last year's models at a discount and they will let you shoot them all you want.
