Well if you go see our good friends up at Howells, Scott will set you up nice...An entry level PSE would be a good start....The beginner level isn't too bad on the pocket....and it will be set up with all the acc. Or you could go all in and get a Mathews, or Bowtech...But that'll set you back around 8bills.
well guys...I ended up finding a Hoyt, all decked out with fiber optic sights, whisker buiscuit, string loop, string silencers, limb savers, cobra release and removable quiver. pawn shop in the next town over had taken it in from a 47 y/o guy that needed cash, and they weren't gonna put it up for sale until this weekend, but I think he got sick of me calling... Left handed, all realtree camo, 29" draw lengh, 65 lb. pull....fits me perfect! $175.00 Now I've just gotta get some shooting time in before I hit the woods....thanks again for all your input.Scott
just for the record......got a chance to get down to Howell's and had my bow setup checked out.....pro shop said it was in great shape and a h#ll of a steal for the money. shot it a couple dozen times in their range (10, 15 & 20 yds.) fairly decent groups for not having released an arrow out of it. Major concern was figuring out what the pins were set at and getting professional approval for my "off the whim" purchase. so....yesterday I finally get a chance to shoot at home into a cardboard box I stuffed with old clothes and taped a Thompson Center rifle target (8 1/2" x 11") to the box. real consistent shots at 15 and 20 yards, with a little pull to the right....couple inches. I move to 25 and 30 yards.....same thing.....good groups with a little pull....4 inches or so. I see the inevitable and bring my pin a pinch over to the left of target and boom....1st shot, dead on...and kept consistently within kill zone of any deer for the next dozen or so shots. Just for sh!ts and giggles I pace off 40 yards from the box and turn around.(bottom pin is set for 30 yds.) 1st thought was.....never even hit the box...well....I draw back....line my bottom pin just over center and release....definately heard it punch through the box, but couldn't see the arrow so I walk up to it and there it was......dead nut center. I was like.....lucky shot, so I tried 9 more times from 40 and stayed within kill zone every time. I'm too new at bow shooting to even qualify for bragging, and I wouldn't even try a 40 yard shot at a deer..(well...maybe ).....but it definately gave me enough confidence to swap target tips for broadheads and hit the woods. with any luck, I'll be posting some of my own pics on here
