How big a boy are ye?I'm considering getting into bow shooting.
Not sure if I'd start hunting with it or not but would like to learn how to shoot a bow.
What brands/models do you suggest?
Thanks!
I don't know where you are located but I have Bear Legion complete setup I could make you a really good deal on. I'm in Starke County and would travel an hour or so for you.I'm considering getting into bow shooting.

I'm still shooting a 20+ yr old Matthews SQ2 and only changed the string once in all that time.I stop by my local pawn shop about once a week to see what they have in. I already had a Mathews Switchback, but up graded to a newer Mathews for around $300. Had sight and quiver. I think that's a great place to get your feet wet. I've seen better set-ups since buying my latest, but I like mine.
IMO, the first thing is to get measured for draw length at a good bow shop, then you should handle and shoot as many bows as you can to see what fits/feels the best to you. A quality used bow is the way to go but I would suggest you don't limit yourself to Mathews or any of the other top tier brands such as Hoyt or Bowtech. Save the premium tier bows for when you have more experience and are sure you want to commit to archery. Bear, PSE, and others make quality bows that will cost half or less what a top tier bow will even used. Just stick to something made in the last 5 years of so and you should be fine.I suppose I'm looking for the Glock 19 of the bow world.
I've got an archery shop by me. Will stop in sometime and see what they have used and if I run across any used ones locally online will see what you all think.
