jbr33zy Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 What would be a good begging bow. I was looking at the redhead bows. Any use those?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I assume you mean a beginning bow and not a begging bow. I have never tried Redhead bows now have I ever heard them mentioned here. When I got my buddy his first bow last year the Bear Charge package was a great little bow for the money.

redkneck Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Begging bows are what you get after marriage and your wife tells you your not going to get another bow so you have to beg, like I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Seriously though, redheads are good products made by folks like Hoyt and others exclusively for BPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well if your still growing then get the diamond razor edge. Great bow. i own one and it goes from 19 to 29 inch draw and from 30 to 60 pound pull weight. they start at about 329.99 thats what mine was it comes with a sight and rest. Which you can upgrade later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 lots of good bows out there now and honestly none make a bad bow. they all can get the job done. some better than others but yea. no such thing as a beginner bow. you buy the best you can afford and stick with it. how tall are you (what's your draw length)? what's your budget? right or left handed? got a local archery shop people go to? what bows do they sell (and have lots of knowledge about to fix or tune)? lots of things go into a bow purchase.

redkneck Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Bear does make a top notch bow, been shooting them for years and they are as good as they come. Depending on your age and if you are still growing, Bowhunter97 suggested a great bow, the razor edge, that can grow with you with lots of adjustment in weight and draw length.

jbr33zy Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 begging bow I'm 18 and just under 6ft. And I'm not sure how much more growing I'm gunna be doing. So adjustability isn't that big of deal to me. ( so I think anyways) I haven't shot a bow or done any hunting since I was about 10. Been living in Japan for a long while since my dads job. So I don't know much about the newer bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Beginning to hunt with bow I would take the time know your budget!!!! Then look at third that would fall in to that line of bows. Then know what draw you are.seek out a shop that would allow to shoot some that would give you an idea of feel and design that best fit you. Don't be afraid to ask around at different shop and listen to what they all say. You' ll learn what to take in and what to discard. But, read and do your home work at the same time.

Adjam5 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Welcome to the forums. I'd say get started by visting a Archery pro shop and get properly fitted for the bow. Too many folks get one from a gargage sale or a buddy and they think it fits. Then they develop bad habits in form and shooting. At 18 I don't think you'll have anymore growing to do height wise, or draw length. So what you purchase should carry you into the next few years or until that Archery bug gets you...bites you and don't let go. Then you will be in the poorhouse like many of us with our $1000 Matthews and Hoyts! The lesser costing bows work fine and you can kill game all day long with them. Just get fitted properly for the bow. After that your home free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
