Alright, so it seems my rifle season is going to be non existent this year and I will have more time in the fall. I would like to get back into bow hunting. (Haven't bow hunted in 10+ years) Looking for some advice to where to even begin as far as choosing bows! Hybrid cam seems to be the "in" thing, and those bowtechs look fantastic, but should I really plop down that kind of cash before learning what I like these days? Tons of bows on craigslist and the like. Just looking for some advice to guide me in the right direction. Treat this like you would a first timer, and give me some advice on what you think I should be looking at as far as gear. Thanks fellas
Try Lena Swamp Archery on HWY 22 just east of Oconto Falls. Wade is a great guy and doesn't push a certain brand. Very helpful also. They have alot of bows, different brands, and i think Wade has been setting up bows for over thirty some years now. I bought my bow new from him about six years ago and we just bought my wife a new Bear Ultralight from them. He got in a couple different bows and brands for her to try and she picked the Bear basically because it felt good in her hand which is a big deal. I would say from when we walked in and started trying different bows to when she was done shooting her new bow with a very impressive grouping was maybe three hours at the most.
if you havent bow hunted in ten years i would reccommend getting a good used bow that does not cost an arm and a leg so you can see if you still like it. if you spend a fortune on a bow and do not like it now you are out alot of cash.
