    hey guys,
    im new to bow hunting, well shooting bows for that matter.
    the old lady bow hunts and talked me into it this year. been practicing alot the past few weeks and love it.

    i was given 2 complete bows. since im new to it i dont know much about them.

    they are high country bows. one is an excaliber and the other is a supreme.
    not sure if they are " good quality" bows or junk. but i have a blast shooting them

    If you feel comfortable shooting them and you can hit a bulls eye, its not a junk bow.

    well like i said they were free and fully outfitted.

    and being my first year i didnt wanna drop 500 dollars on my first bow.

    the old lady has a real nice diamond bow, i hope to look into getting a nicer one later on.

    I really like my Scott Little Bitty Goose, but, you should go to a pro shop that will let you try a few and pick what you are most comfortable with.
