tbo21 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm in the market for my first bow. I was thinking of a mission riot or pse brute x. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msman825 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I would shoot a lot of diffrent kinds and find the one that fits me best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I agree with msman825. A bow is all personal preference. I wouldnt go spend a bunch a bunch of money on the first bow though. That way if you decide you dont like it then you wont have a bunch invested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Hntr Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I agree with what's been said above, you need to shoot to see what's best for you but I do hear the mission riots are great bows as well as the pse's... Both will stand behind their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 If you like PSE try the Bow Madness out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 If you like PSE try the Bow Madness out. the bows you mentioned are cheap and would get the job done, but the Bow Madness is by far a better bow and still very affordable.

dbHunterNY Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ....buy left over year model bows between early winter and now. you'll save a lot more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ....buy left over year model bows between early winter and now. you'll save a lot more money. X1000 I still do this. Don't need to (and can't afford to) keep up with the Joneses. Don't be afraid of a used bow, or last years model. Lots of great ready to hunt rigs for well under 500. Get out and shoot and find one you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 ....buy left over year model bows between early winter and now. you'll save a lot more money. Gander Mountain usually has big sales this time of year to clear out their bow inventory. Keep your eyes open. Mission was my first bow. They are well built easy to draw bows. Take a look at Diamond as well. Also well built and have an amazing back wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COEngineer Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I bought my Bear Instinct on-line (eBay) when it was a year old model. Got it for ~$300. It's a great bow and it kills elk (at least one ). You don't need the most expensive, newest thing...but if you can afford it, wth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the most expensive, newest thing...but if you can afford it, wth. this is also right. advice i give people is buy the best you can afford and shoot it with no worries. you don't need to upgrade every year. when you do though good equipment helps. once you get your bow shoot it and stick with your equipment. as time goes by you'll have memories with that bow setup and it'll be "old faithful" or your "go to" bow to get the job done.

fly Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 bow suggestions I recommend getting a used bow. Since it's your first bow perhaps 2010 or 2011. Everyone has their favorite company, but from my research Hoyt, Mathews, Bowtech, and PSE have been leading the field in the past few years. Outdoor life has a bow review each year and suggest a great buy as well as their editors choice. It's worth Googling. Make sure your pro shop measures your draw length right - getting the right fit is essential. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy33 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Also check out craigslist and pawn shops. Like others have said, don't spend too much before you know what works for you. Good luck on your shopping adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkef1 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 You should go to your local archery shop and see I'd they have a Hoyt rampage xt you can shoot. Everyone I have talked to says they are great bang for the buck. I'm going to be looking into getting one for myself. Get serious get Hoyt.

Slash Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't know what your budget is....but the Hoyt Charger is an AWESOME package for the price ($650 I think) and it shoots better than some companies "high end" bows. I just bought the Spyder 30 and the only reason I didn't get the Charger is because it doesn't have the Air-Shox on it like the Spyder does. I can really tell when I shoot it that they're doing their job, less noise, less vibration. I agree with most other opinions though...find a dealer that sells used bows, and that will let you shoot what you want/need to find out what feels best for you. Good luck.
