    Bows?

    Okay guys....as some of you know I do not know much about archery......Practised some with a 53lb recurve but not good enough with it so I have never hunted with it.
    I am looking for a nice little entry level bow package to get me started and then I can move up from there. I was looking at these 2 bows.......what do you think? I gues I should mention I plan on using it for deer, black bear and possibly an elk at some point

    Elkhound, you might want to take a look at the thread in the buy/sell forum titled browning compound bow and accesories seems to be the complete package and more, and is only about 100.00 more then the 2 you were looking at.

    Re: Bows?

    I was just looking at the 2 bows you have selected, and checked the speed and all other numbers against my browning rage and all numbers are pretty much the same as my browning and i have no complaints about it.I would think either of those bows would be good starter bows and its my understanding that PSE actually makes the browning line of bows.I could be wrong about that and if i'am i'm sure one of the very knowledgable HBC members will correct me.

    I would suggest that you could find a very high quality bow all set up and ready to go for an affordable price if you are willing to look at used equipment. Archery gear loses value quicker than a new car and some great barely used equipment can be had. Try the classified section on archerytalk.com if you need any help just give a holler.
