? about buying a new bow

[BowHuntTexas]

Looking to get a new bow next season but wanted to get some opinions on different things.
First my budget is 700 dollars, would you buy a new middle of the rd bow or a used high end bow? And what would my best buy for the money be? Open to all brands and models, what brand/model you would recommend and why

Shoot them all and then you will know what you like and don't want. Since you have until next year anyway.

Draw length?




New bows are coming out right now (Friday to be exact) you might wait and read some new press releases, reviews, and most importantly shoot some new bows!

I have a Diamond Iceman! I love the bow but a friend of mine just bought the matthews Z7 and now I am thinking about one of those! I shoot a lot of different bows and I like the way the iceman shoots and the weight is great! It slings an arrow at 300 fps ! Plenty fast enough for me! Hope this helps!

I would go shoot the new ones. I believe the 2012 models are to be released here in the next couple days. Probably could wait and get a 2011 closeout for a good price.

I don't like buying a used bow due to the warranty issue. Buy a 700 used bow and the next week the limb cracks...well, you are gonna be out some money. New bows warranty are worth it in my opinion

Never pick the bow.......let the bow pick you.



Get out there and shoot all of them that you can and one of them will just feel right to you.

Heck, it took me two months to pick my last bow.

Like said above go shoot some different bows and find one you like. But def check out the Mission line of bows from Mathews! They are great shootin bows and and wont kill your wallet!

You can buy a top end year old bow for that kind of cash.

[systemnt]

you got lots of time.. go to the shops and shoot them all.. find what you like and don't like...then go buy an Elite

Dont settle...shoot what you can and get the best....
