Thanks soccerdan90, I'm glad to hear that! I'm reading noting but good things. It would be nice to have something local and good at the same time. Miss Iowa and eagles on Mississippi rive in winter time. :-)
just remember you can buy the most expencive bow there is but if it dosent feel right in your hand your going to hate it, look into the bear ready to shoot packages a friend of mine just got one of those packages and he is happy with it.
Thanks for the reminder. No need to go for most expensive one. I plan on going to a couple of places to check out different bows. Probably Gander and Bass Pro. It will be good to determine correct draw length and draw weight. I have never shot bow so it's really all new to me that's why I'm trying to get as much info as I can to make right purchase first time. I really appreciate everybody's help on this forum. Charles
Let me know when you are heading over to BPS & Gander. Might be able to join you if you want. Sent from my T8788 using Board Express
My buddy just bought the Bowtech Destroyer 350 with a ripcord code red drop away arrow rest, stabilizer, and a scott release for under 1k. The bow itself was only $750. For a bow with such high performance and visually appealing, that is a great deal. It has a 6 inch brace height and I can shoot better groups with it than I can with my Hoyt that has a 7 inch brace height. You can get a lot of great bows for under 1k.
The first 2012 Elite was just announced; The Answer is a 33.5 ATA bow with a 7" brace and speed cam IBO of 340 fps.
Going to stop by T.A.Z. Archery this afternoon. I will let you know if they have the new one yet and the eta on the rest of the 2012 lineup.
That would be great. I will also try to go to Farm & Fleet to see what they have. I know I'm not going to be shooting anything there. LOL
I like what Bowtech does for active service members and veterans, That is one of the reasons I switched from Mathews.
I did stop by T.A.Z today. Great shop with a fantastic indoor and outdoor range. They also have a 3d but with the bad weather I wasn't able to see it. The owner did say that he should have all the new Elite's any day now so I would definetely check them out! Let me know if you want to hook up to go to Bass Pro and Gander. We can also it a Hoyt dealer just up the road from Gander too!
Buy it from a bow shop, not a chain store, they won't be there when you have a question or need help, In the long run it will cost you more.
That is not always true. I purchased my daughters and girlfriends bow from BPS and they have been awesome. I have taken both bows in a few times for several different reasons and they have been wonderful everytime. They just worked for over an hour on my daughters bow which I purchased from them 4 years ago and they didn't charge me a dime. I would have no problem buying from one of them if it is the right bow which is the most important thing.
I have and ****s sporting goods and Gander mt. near me. The people in these stores are clueless, When you ask them a question they will read the tag to you. I'm lucky, there are 3 bow shops within 10 miles of me.
Ya see your talking about people not stores. I know which staff at each store has a brain in his head and which doesn't. With that said i have several bow shops in muy area and I know of a few that I would never take my bow or any business to. They are rude, unprofessional a-holes so you can't say it is a big chain issue it is a people issue. All you can do is find the stores and people you are comfortable with and stick with them!
