Bow Hunting

May be in the market for a new bow. Would like some suggestions. I will have max of $450 to spend. I'm looking for a shorter bow so I can use it easier from a blind. I want something quiet, fast, and consistent. I would love to buy a brand new one but don't have that kind of money at the moment. Any suggestions?

I've had no trouble dropping everything i've hit with it. Bunch of deer and several loud chirping ****ing squirrels.
... damn tree rats can sure be annoying when you're hunting for something...

I shot them with my broadheads last year. I used to carry a judo point arrow with me just for those bastards, but i kept grabbing the damn thing out of my quiver when i went to nock and arrow for the day.

Shouldn't probably shoot them with broadheads though.

I carry a couple of thumper tips, with different color fletchings so I don't grab the wrong arrow.

Might be able to find this one close to your price point and it's new. Got Outdoor Life's Bow Test Great Buy for 2011.

Nice... Everyone who's bow hunted for any amount of time has been there. Usually about the time they piss you off to the point of shooting them, and you train an arrow on them, that's when the buck comes trotting through and you're sitting there unprepared.

My uncle used to say it was a good thing to have squirrels running around being noisy. Said that the deer felt more comfortable with other animals running around not giving a shit, as opposed to dead silence and nothing moving.

That's a nice looking bow. I'm hoping I can get my golf cart sold so I can go shopping.

You know, around your price range most bows are really similar...
I got lucky and picked up my pse for chump change. The top spool was damaged in shipping so I got it for 290. Put on a new spool for 30 bucks and called it a day. I had all the equipment from my old bow so I was good to go. I've been really happy with it. I downed a turkey last spring from 30 yards. I've yet to shoot a deer with it but I will this year. I let several 6-8 pointers go last year because I knew I had a monster 6x7 walking around my stand at dusk. He was a smart ****er but I'll get him this year. I'll have to post the pics from my game camera. He's a 5x6 this year but he's got a nice drop tine and a mammoth spread.

Talked to a guy I know that runs Fin to Fur. He has a 2010 PSE Stinger for $325 fully loaded. He will also give me $150 trade in for my High Country with no string. I'm going to shoot it Saturday. I can get it a bit cheaper off EBAY but then I would have to worry about selling my bow. Thanks for all the replies.

Gonzo would love to see some pics.

PA recently allowed crossbow hunting. I can't wait to shoot one of these babies at bambi.



No idea what this adds to the thread but it does contain "bow" so I deem it relevant.

Not a bow hunter here, but have been looking at game cams....what's everyone using. Been thinking about getting one but don't want to break the bank. I know everyone has there preference and wondering what's best...Would like to stay under $150.
Want good photo quality, IR of course and something that takes an SD card so I just swap them out each week. Battery life is somewhat important to as I don't want to have to switch out batteries each week.....going to place it about 150 yards from the house....well in range of the .270.
