my dad is wanting to get a bow this year to bow hunt with me and he has 3 in mind so far that he has seen a Mathews solcam ultra 2 $450 a PSE Polaris for $175 and a Mathews Q2XL I don't know the price for it........suggestions??
he is looking a used one....I have the new Mathews no-cam HTR and I love it I tried to talk him into goin with one of them but he says he aint gonna hunt a whole lot and doesn't wanna put that much money into one
Has he gone and shot any of them? If you have a bow store near ya have him take a look at the used bows and shoot around to see what he likes (if they have used bows at the shop)
not yet....but that's a good idea...im not sure if they do have used bows at my local sports shop but I will find out I gotta take mine in for some repairs in the next few days anyhow
The Mathews Ultra 2 would be a good one, but $450 is way too much money for that bow. You can find 2-3 year old bows, in like new condition on AT for that price. Some would even have accessories on them as well.
I would go with the q2xl. My friend has a q2 his grandpa handed down to him and it still shoots great.
ok...thanks...I believe I am a member on that forum but I liked this one better so I aint been on it but that one time
OP sorry about that. I'm just used to typing AT. Archery talk does have a great classifieds section so you might want to check it out before you decide. I just googled Mathews Ultra 2 for sale, and there is/were a couple listed on Archerytalk from June and July for $200 (with accessories), and $150 (bare bow?) just to give you an idea.
Also, does he know his draw length? Those Mathews would require a cam change to change draw length which will add to the cost more so than a bow that just uses mods to set draw length.
I agree with you. The people here are a lot nicer for the most part but AT has a bunch more people so it's 10 times easier to sell. Out of the 5 things I sold, 4 out of 5 sold on AT.
