Was ready to buy a bow then something came up . HELP

Honestly you can't go wrong with nearly any bow made in the USA these days. I think they are all really just splitting hairs when it comes to performance. However one may just fit you better or "feel" better to you.

Thats the drawback to Alpine, virtually no dealer network. I get it that its hard to make a significant purchase like that without physically seeing it or testing it out. They do make a really nice bow though.

 

To be honest, I had 100% full intention to straight out buy my 5 prior to firing it. It just so happened there was one across town to get same day. I had my mind made up and have not been disappointed or had buyers remorse. Sometimes you just know but it is inadvisable.

 

thank you guys again very much... maybe i go to the field shoot some bows and fall in love with them, or if alpines CS is so good i can call them and hopefully work something out with them! as i havent shot a bow in years idk what to expect even. thank you all again i will keep yall posted. now go to my camo forum and post there

 

I have to throw my 2 cents in for the heck of it. I bought my first bow in the early summer of 2007. I went to BPS and was dead set on a Parker of some certain model I can't remember and when I got there and shot it, the guy said why don't you shoot some other bows so you can have something to compare it to. As soon as I shot a few Diamond bows there was no comparison. I ended up leaving BPS and buying the bow I wanted online. I learned a valuable lesson buying that first bow in that I didn't have the customer service aspect to fall back on from buying a bow from my local pro shop. I loved the bow but right off the bat I was slightly off on my draw length and had to have the module changed. We all want a little more length for a little more speed I guess. So anyway I had to pay for that service and several other services on the bow along the way that I wouldn't of had to if I would've bought the bow locally. I got a package deal and saved a bunch of money on the front end but ended up paying some of it back later. I just bought my second bow this past spring and I shot several different manufacturers over about 2 years once I knew I was ready to upgrade and was saving my $$$'s. I new what bow I wanted last year but when I went to get it this year I found out they don't make it anymore so I looked at their new model, shot it and saved a little money in the process. Love the new bow. Have had a few slight issues with it and have been able to take it back to the LPS free of charge and the guy took care of it. That's a big deal to me after spending quite a bit of money. Good luck!

 

^^^ I agree, and being able to have a good shop or a good friend with skills to service the bow is a must. Definitely need to know you can at least get cams or limbs if needed down the line. Getting "the new" bow from an upstart mfg. has its risks.

 

Ah i am in a bind no idea what to do at this point because i was so set on buying an alpine bow. i want one so damn badly

 

Good thing thats not what he's doing.

I would take any Alpine sight unseen (in my draw) before I would take any Matthews for free.

 

Edited....

 

ok i really donbt have time to find and feel a bow. most likely doing the wrong and shooting the roulette and buying an alpine. wish me luck!

 

What stood out to you so much about the alpine. Look for other brands with the same features. Don't settle on one without comparison to others

Let us know how it works out brother, seems like you are going for what you want. Best a Luck! Enjoy your new Bow.

 

i hope... now they took out the closeout ones for 399 on the website and only have the new ones for 430. i guess good reason to get the newer one? lol? and i like the specs of the fireball and the looks and hopefully the feel

 

For $31....yeah I'd splurge a little and get the newer one.

 

i guess i shall do.... stay tuned people
