View Full Version : Need help choosing new bow. randy58 12-02-2007, 07:07 PM My present bow is 8 years old, very forgiving and reliable but with todays technoligy I feel I can upgrade into something that is faster, quieter, and still be forgiving to a 58 year old with bad shoulders. I do realize self prefference varies a lot and there are a bundle of choices. I do value the oppinion of my fellow bow hunters.So let me have it. Thanks BUNNYMAN 12-02-2007, 07:11 PM look at SINGLE cam bows.......they will be the easiest on your shoulders..... brokenarrow 12-02-2007, 07:12 PM Welcome to the forum... Do you have a budget in mind? randy58 12-02-2007, 07:19 PM Not really. randy58 12-02-2007, 07:22 PM I shoot a Viking Terminator, custom built. 53# 29.5 draw brokenarrow 12-02-2007, 07:27 PM I just went through the bow shopping expierience... The 2 I really liked were the Diamond Black ice and the Pearson Z-34... Both single cams... Diamond was $600 and the Pearson was $550...but the pearson was faster...

Diamond was $600 and the Pearson was $550...but the pearson was faster... then he won a bow, and so all the shopping was pointless......:laugh: J.C. 12-02-2007, 08:09 PM Mission X-series. :peace: randy58 12-02-2007, 08:09 PM Thanks B.A,for the welcome and for the feed back.I'll check out the PSE and see what happens.:usa: randy58 12-02-2007, 08:13 PM I'm sorry, that was a Pearson not PSE, My Bad Charles Fetterolf 12-02-2007, 08:14 PM Take a look at the Mission bows made by Mathews and also look at the Martin lineup of bows. Both are reasonally priced and have very good preformance.

OneMustFall 12-02-2007, 09:03 PM Hello,i just picked up a PSE Firestorm Lite bow and i couldnt be happier,not the fastes bow,but it sure is small and a sweet shooter,good all around bow.............:peace: bfisher 12-02-2007, 09:40 PM One of the smoothest drawing cams there is right now is the Martin MPro. One of the nicest bows you can get with this cam is the 2008 MOAB. The bow compares very favorably with some other models costing as much as $300 more. Cost should be about $450. This is advice coming from a 60 year old with bad shoulders. The other thing is I have come to realize there is no need to shoot more than about 55# anymore. The bows are that efficient. ecmbowhunter 12-02-2007, 10:07 PM I agree on the Martin M-Pro cam bows. Very smooth drawing. I shoot an '07 Pantera and it is the smoothest drawing bow I have ever shot. |
