Never spent any time with a bow in my hand (short of screwing around) I am thinking of buying a bow and spending some time trying out the archery thing... Looking at buying a PSE Brute... Anyone have an opinion on that bow?

i learned to shoot bow from one of the northeastern top compitition shooters terri canada, he got all of hoyt`s prototypes, a starter level hoyt is a good forgiving bow for a first timer and has top quality, you may want to go to a local archery range they allways have used setups forsale, that was how i started, save some coin and if its not for you your not out the big bucks.

I hunt with a PSE Bow Madness XS. It is a great bow for the money and I have had several Mathews bows to compare it to. The last few years I have been spending most of my time in the woods with my bow instead of a rifle. It is a lot more of a challenge.

Was out and shot a Bowtech for a few minutes yesterday... Felt really good in my hand... Try to go shoot that PSE this weekend....

check your local craigs before buying new!! the bows arnt so much, its setting them all up!! It adds up fast. Buy a used one thats a few yrs old, and you can save yourself some serious bucks. I would not bother with top dollar Mathews + such, they are excellent bows, but so are the lower priced competitors. Martin is an excellent bow for the money!! Just get one with a single, or hybrid cam, and 70-90% let-off. Shooting technic, and repitition will make you a better shot than any 1000.00 bow.

Picked up a 2004 Bowtech Extreme VFT today... Came with Trophy Taker drop-away rest, Trophy Ridge 3-pin vertical sight, 4-Arrow Kwikee Kwiver, Limb Saver stabilizer... (could stand a fresh string) Paid $200 for it... Think I got a decent deal.
