I’m looking to get a compound bow to play with this winter. Hopefully be ready to kill white tail deer next fall. Bow season is much longer than any black powder or shotgun season here so it will work better with my hectic work schedule.
Anyways, I haven’t owned a bow in about 25 years. Local dealers sell Hoyt, Matthews, Bowtech, and another Iowa brand that starts with an X. I’m looking at a draw length of 28.5” and a draw weight between 50 and 60 lbs. maybe up to 55/65.
What brands should I stay away from?
what features are nice to have vs. absolutely necessary?
what price range will get me out of the junk stuff?
is it worth it to buy new for the warranty?
