Bowhunters

Just wondering who all bowhunts.
I got a Pearson Bulldog bow. It is a great bow.

I was a fanatical bowhunter for years and was in competitive archery as a sponsored shooter until I quit. My last 5 bows have been Mathews and they have faired well for me. I will be back in the trees again this coming year as I took some time off to trap and hunt with a gun the last 3.

Well snareman,
My dad has a Mathews LX fully loaded. It is a heavy bow. My bow weighs well less than his. Don't know why you gave it up though. It is the funnest way to hunt (other than small game).

I think my name pretty sums the question up if I bowhunt lol. I love archary hunting almost as much as trappin. I use a browing adrenaline its the sweetest bow I have shoot yetvery flat shootinI hunt everything from deer to frogs with it never got a turkey yet but spring gobbler aint here yet either ;D

I cant answer your bow question because I have never shot one but im sure it will kill a deer.

With limited time, and two kids who like to rifle hunt, I don't bowhunt as much as I used to. Been using a laminated longbow I made, for the past couple of years. A take down recurve I made before that. Started out with a Hoyt Game Getter II. Will probably go back to the recurve this year. I'm just alot more accurate with it than the long bow.

Im saving up for a bow and will hopefully take my first deer next year. I was thinking of PSE, any1 ever try this brand, Ive heard good things about them. Im also gonna try to buy a slingshot for some small game hunting (squirrels, rabbits, etc.).

I shoot a mathews and I love it. Ive been shooting since I was 6 and still really enjoy it.I've taken one or two bucks in the last few years with it and am gonna try to get one this year too. Im also goin Turkey hunting this spring with it.

Cartman I know about a doven guys who use pse bows and they love them ive never heard anything bad about them. There a good bow and at a very affoardable price I think it would be a good choice.

[cartman]

Thanks BOWHUNTER for the info, I also have heard nothing bad about PSE, and they are affordable so I think PSE will be a good choice for my first bow.

I do about half of my bowhunting with a 20 year old PSE lazer !When I bought it it was the most expensive hunting bow on the market.I killed elk ,muledeer,bear ,and a bunch of whitetails with it.I use a heritage long bow for half of my hunting now !In Wis. I get 5-6 weeks bowhunting in before trapping starts.Don

I think sbhooper has a good point. PSE does without a doubt make an excellant product, but most all of the other bows will do the trick. I would recommend you go to a proshop if there is one in the area and shoot a couple of models in different brands. Buy what you like the feel of shooting. When my wife bought me my first bow hundreds of years ago, I ended up getting a lower end hoyt just because I liked the way it shot. No cams, no overdraws, no bells and whistles. Could shoot circles around the guys with the more expensive set ups at target leagues and it was more than adequet for the animals I shot with it.

Thanks guys for the input on the PSE, i'll havce to check out it for sure
