Bow Sugestions

[Fishh2o]

Well,

Im thinking of getting into archery and wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. I dont have any experience at all with archery so I dont need a 1200$ bow.. Im just looking to have something I can shoot in the back yard for now until i become confidante enough to hunt.

I don't have experience with anything but my Tenpoint. It is very durable and deadly accurate.

Shop around for some used bows. Resale on most of them is WAY LOW. I mainly used Matthews products. After 20+ years of finger shooting I went to a release. Huge increase in consistent accuracy. Spend money on a good quality range finder. Worth their weight in gold for shots beyond 35 or so yards.

I stopped archery when my shoulder started giving me problems, or I would still be at it. It is lots of fun.

I dabble in bow hunting a little bit. My advice would be to go to a bow shop, and find a bow that "feels right" to you. They have different Axle to axle heights, and they can help you figure out your draw length.

Then take the info of brand you like the feel of, draw length, possible poundage you feel comfortable with...then hit the used bow market.
