Turkeygirl Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Shot a Parker Challenger II tonight at 40 pounds. Nice bow, grip a little thin but not bad. Does anyone else shoot this bow or have any opinions on it? I also held a Reflex Highlander and pulled it back, a little hard pulling with the slam &1/2 cams, and the bow a little hefty but the grip was nice. Tried to stop at another place tonight but it looked deserted almost like they aren't in business anymore. I'm getting desperate in trying to find shops that have bows to try. Anyone tired a Rintec XL by chance or have any opinions on it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Tried a bow tonight Was the Buck Hunter there as well? I never seen the Challenger. Then again, maybe you dont want the adjustable draw length's. Although, it might help when you want to resell! Never know when that may come along. Only reason I say this is my nephew is only 14 years old, already has a 28" draw length! He might need a few inches by the time he is 18-20! This bow has a draw length 26"-31". Plus I was very surprised how quiet it was for this type of bow. Been thinking about getting one for my daughter in a few years. I know it will be easier to re-sell because there is always someone in the younger age group looking for a bow to grow with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IBO_bowhunter Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Tried a bow tonight I don't know about the II but I do know about the original challenger and it is a very good bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Tried a bow tonight You'll shoot better with a thinner grip. Quite a few experienced archers buy aftermarket thinner grips on purpose. The reason so many Manufacturers put fat grips on their bows is they feel better on the shelf when someone is buying.

Guest Finn Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Tried a bow tonight Did you try a Browning Adrenaline? I recommend at least shooting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Tried a bow tonight I stopped at the shop that was closed tonight, held and pulled back a Rintect- lower draw weight then mine, but it had a really nice grip, thin but not as thin as the parker, but not as fat like on the Hoyt Mystic Rebel. And it felt so nice. i'm hoping this bow shop about 1.5 hours away has a Rintec XL and Selena to try out at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Tried a bow tonight The Selena is a great bow for female archers. One of the women at or 3D club shoots one and she's loving it........very quiet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
