Looking for suggestions on a new bow

I was looking to get some suggestions on the purchase of a bow and getting it set up for hunting. I plan to visit my local AZ stores to shoot before making a final choice, but I thought recommendations would help me narrow down my choices.

Some details that may help are: I have not hunted in 15 years and my only now before was a 1990ish High Country. My budget for everything is around $1,000 and I will be hunting whitetail mostly. Thanks a lot

 

You have a good budget so that helps .

I would start by looking at the hoyt charger. Economy bow with high end characteristics.

You may want to look at the used options as well.


The budget you have can get you a high end bow but you will have to watch the accessories. You can easily spend several hundred by the time you get arrows, sight ,rest and quiver. And pay taxes.

i would walk in a shop and just start letting arrows fly and narrow it down that way.

 

Thats what i did when i went woth the TurboHawk everything the same as the alpha max when they were hoyts flag ship bow. i couldnt be happier.

 

I have an X-force Pro-series. And I love it, if you are looking for fast, accurate, and somewhat quiet. It's the bow for you.

 

For $1000 you can get a Bowtech Assassin and upgrade some of the accessories and good arrows. It's an excellent bow

 

Yeah when I shot the Hoyt charger in the shop it was a really nice shooting now and a great one for the price. And with your budget you will have enough for all the extra goodies

 

I just purchased an APA Mamba M7 and love it. Check it out apa archery.

 

also be sure to shoot a mission ballistic! it is an awesome shooting bow for the money i walked out of the shop with bow, rest, and sight for $650

 

Thats a good budget, just shoot everything you can get your hands on. Never know what might fit you best.

 

We have a Mathews ZXT package at our shop for about $925
That comes with a qad rest, axion 4 pin sight and a short axion stab. and quiver.

 

That's a pretty awesome deal, that new zxt is a compact bow too!

 

I love the Mathews Creed. It is expensive but well worth it. I would just go let some arrows fly and see which you like best

 

Thanks a lot for all of the input. After some shooting I decided to buy a used Mathews Switchback. Well below my budget but I am sure that after a target, arrows, a deer tag, etc. my budget will be met. Thanks again

 

get yourself a discounted bow from a dealer(mathews z7/extreme are great choices!) 5-600 bucks, then outfit it!
