Should I even open my mouth?
Look---LFM---and please understand that this is said out of love, not out of an attempt to criticize or ridicule, but if you are new to traditional, asking someone else what the "best" bow is...or for that matter, even what a "good" bow is, is probably not the wisest of ideas. To me, that's the equivalent of asking a woman to marry you...without even having gone out on a first date.
Being new to traditional---or for that matter, even if you have been shooting for years---and asking someone else for their opinion about which is good or not is not going to be anywhere near as good as what most people here will tell you: go out and shoot as many as you can and then find the one that works for you. What someone else likes may be the worst performing piece of garbage in your hands, and what someone else thinks is garbage may be the greatest stick on God's green Earth. And the truth of the matter is: No one is wrong! As crazy as it may sound, when you've found the one that is right for you, trust me---you'll know! And that is a question that no one else can answer for you but you and the bow and how well the two of you interact:wink:
Another thing that has me slightly concerned is that when you say you're new to traditional, I am curious as to how well you've mastered (at least) the basics of shooting a traditional bow. There's not really any sense in getting what you're looking for to be a "keeper" if you haven't gotten enough experience with how different bows perform to know the difference---and have not figured out which would be best for you. In my opinion (and I am sure there are going to be some who will take issue with my saying this, but...), it may be better for you to get something relatively inexpensive, that you can easily draw for medium/longer lengths of time, and learn as much as you can, and in the meanwhile, visit shops and shoots and try out as many bows as you can, but I'd seriously consider putting off getting a hunting bow for the moment. Learn, master form and basics, and practice as much as you can, and then you should know enough about how different bows and types of bows perform that you'll be able to make a wise decision for a "keeper. And on top of that, you'll know how to shoot it as well. Enjoy your journey and God bless!
