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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
