When I was a teenager I put my savings into a Bear compound bow. I shot a few hay bails, shot a hole in my paddock basher, made a few flaming arrows and even managed to get a few bunnies, but it pretty much ended there. Guns seemed easier to use and being an impatient teen the bow became more of a novelty.
I have been thinking about bow hunting again. Bows seem to have come along way since I bought the bear 20years ago and I think it would be quiet an interesting but rewarding challenge to take up.
Visiting an archery store 2 things dawned on me, I know sweet FA about bows and they are quite an expensive investment to know FA about!
I was leaning towards getting one of the Matthews bows, but then a bloke I work with from the states recommended I get a Bowtech, Then the guy in the shop told me they are crap and I should look at a Bear ( he didn't sell Bowtech bows ).
I take it Bows would be like guns - you get what you pay for and most or the big popular names aren't really that bad? They might have different features for different people and situations? Maybe a few quirks in there?
So I'm open to suggestions
