PSE FTW! I love my PSE Stinger. Shoots just as fast and smooth as many higher priced bows, for a couple hundred $ less.

 

It would be nice to shoots Matthews or FB, but that advantages just dont seem to justify the price increase. My dad has a $700+ matthews Riesen and I can shoot straighter from a farther distance with my PSE Stinger than he can, and he practices much more than I do. I know its all about technique with accuracy, but that just goes to show you that more expensive equipment wont make you a better shooter.

 

OK Im off my soapbox now.

:D I agree I shoot a Bear Instinct and love it. I believe that Matthews cost so much more because they have to pay all of their "professional archers" to tell us that we need to shoot a Matthews.

Hey just wanted to thread-jack a little. Im started bowhunting this next season and going with a Compound bow. My cap is at 300 to start and i've found a few RTH packages just wanted to have some input on companies quality and such and what to look for. Im not a professional nor do i want to spend a bunch right now, later once I know i am hooked ill go drop some dough on a nice bow.

$300 is a little low. YOu can get packages for that, but the components like the rest and sights are fairly cheaply made and usually cost you some reliability and accuracy. If thats all you can spend, then go for it. But, for myself, Ide spend an extra $150 or so and get some decent accessories. If thats over budget, then look at teh bows in person and pick the ones that has accessories made of steel and aluminum rather than the "budget" type accessories that are mostly plastic.

There is alot more to picking out a bow than price. I would recomend pulling back as many different bows as you can to find the one that fits best. The 1st thing you need to get right is draw weight and length. Then you need to consider let off, valley and back wall. I prefer a bow with a forgiving valley. Bows with a small valley have a tendency to jerk forward at the slighest hint of forward movement. This can be very bad if you have to hold a drawn bow for very long waiting on the perfect shot. Bows are like shoes, you have to find the one that fits you. My final consideration would be axle to axle length. If you plan on hunting from a ground blind you will benefit from a shorter axle to axle length. This is not as critical in a treestand.

 

Having said all this you might want to look at the newer Bear bows, especially in the price range you are looking in. I bought one last winter and have been very pleased with it. But I would consider getting a stripped down bow and buying the accessories as my budget allowed. By hunting season next year you should have a decent setup with the accesories of your choosing.

 

The following link should be of help.

Thanks for the help guys!! The main thing is finances and I know i can upgrade later when it comes to accessories. I just want to get a decent platform and after this season I can purchase a better sight, quiver, rest, silencer etc. Thanks for that link I will be reading up for sure!!

I agree with this statement, but you need to get the bow rigged out no later than early summer. You must practice with it to become a competent shooter. Practice is a critical part of being and ethical and accomplished bow hunter. The worst thing you can do is take your new bow out on a hunt and not have the experience to be able to make a clean kill.

Well I think im going to spend a little more and get the Bear Encounter RTH package. It seems like a great deal and Bear has come a long way in the past few years.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...
