See you there in 30...

With regards to a bow in that range I would go used if I were you. Keep your eyes open on here (MWT) and you can pick up a nice one from time to time for that.

ok, well im no help, just thought i would try and help clear it up oh, and are you looking for new, used.. just a bow or the whole shebang setup?

 

[danceswithbooze]

This one has just been reduced to $300.

But before you buy you will need to get measured for draw length. There are a few ways to roughly calculate it at home but for the best fit visit your local shop and get measured.

now thats the spirit dwb.. talk about teamwork!

Now what about the new fred bear bows? The compound says it goes up to 300fps. Now if you are not looking for a fancy lookin bow i would take it into consideration.

Now that's not a bad bow right there, might keep an eye on that one.

If your looking for a new bow around the price range you mentioned you might look at the Martin bow's. There are a couple that should fit in that area. And believe me Martin makes a quality bow. For used, look in the classifieds on ArcheryTalk and 3dshoots.com. Personally I would go there before I looked at e-bay.

Do what DWB say's and drop by your local archery shop and get your draw length measured. Could save you awhole lot of heartaches if you happen to get the wrong size bow. Good Luck

Hey guys thanks alot for the help, and i found this one on ebay new see what you think http://cgi.ebay.com/FRED-BEAR-ELEME...5QQihZ015QQcategoryZ20838QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and be completly honest it wont bother me what you think. THanks

 

[Hoytaholic]

Thats not bad but you have alot more money to spend after you buy that one. Did you find out that your draw length is?

 

[JMAC]

That Element is a good bow but I'd spend the extra $100 and get the Bear Instinct. My bro has one. They're GREAT shooting bows. Quiet, smooth, NO hand shock. Awesome bow for $399.

 

[MoBowman]

Not a bad bow and a pretty decent price. Check with him and see if you need different moduals to change the draw length, probably do. Also if you know yours see if he will set the draw length for you.

 

[Heavyhitter]

No i havent found my draw length, just posted this tonight and trying to get some ideas first.

 

[bigredhusker]

To get a good starting point on your DL...

Stand with your back against a wall and spread your arms out parallel with the ground. Measure from finger tip to finger tip and then divide by 2.5.

A buddy of mine is selling his Hoyt Deviator. It's a 1997 model, but in great shape. We modified the bow by changing out the cams and limbs. I've seen this bow shoot 320 fps. It is an older bow, but it's quiet and fast. It's got some sights and a Bodoodle rest. It's on about a 28-29" draw right now. $200 takes it(Plus shipping). I'd buy it myself, but I've got enough toys for now. This is a great deal, and would be an awesome bow to start with. U2U me or email me at [email protected].
