i was wondering if anyone who does archery..could help me out with picking a good reliable fairly cheap bow..i could use the help i really dont know alot about archery… thank you
find a reputable archery shop. their experts and pros can help you with anything you need to find. and they’ll actually help you. most of them shoot as well, they represent multiple brands of bows and so can help get you the fit, brand and equipment you need.
If you live in SE PA, the lancaster archery shop on old philadelphia pike is the largest on the east coast, and are manned by an exceptional group of guys.
A good cheap Bow is a Bear Bow they are reasonably priced and great quality for the amount you pay for them I would suggest that you check with your local Archery Store and get there help I would also suggest joining an Archery Group so that you can discuss your new sport with fellow Hunters.
Go to the nearest archery pro shop and seek their guidance. They may have several used bows to choose from also. While you are there ask them about an archery club in that area that holds weekly shoots. This would be an ideal place to get all the information and help you need to get you started on the right track. Pennsylvania has the largest group of bowhunters in the US. There should be no problem finding a mentor to get you started. Good luck and congratulations on your choice on being a bowhunter.
Bear does make a reasonable fairly decent bow. I never liked em once I got a taste for the better ones though. I bought a Mathews off ebay for 300 and its been a really good little shooter. Its not new, and its not the fanciest thign out there, but its in good shape and is by far the best bow I have ever owned.
You might wanna take a look at livenyx.com. It is a blog on archery and I think there is a store where you can look at its merchandise. Should have what you are looking for at a lower price.
You dont have to answer this but depending on your whereabouts Cabela’s in Hamburg is great and they can help you, also Phoenixville has a place called French Creek Outfitters- AWESOME. cheap prices cause its a mom and pop hunting supply
