Calling all bowhunters!!! Need help!!!

Last year, my husband got a really great one that was sold used at the local Fort Thompson's store, and paid a lot less than he would have new. He's already asleep, or I'd ask the details, but that might be a good place to start!

 

I'm also very interested to hear what you come up with.

 

Pretty much any bow can kill a deer.

In your price range, used would be the way to go.

You will also need arrows equipped with broadheads in order to hunt.

 

I do know that Alex's used one cost exactly $250. I have no idea what kind it is, though. He uses it for deer and turkey, just with different tips (I think).

 

PSE make good bows. I have a wood limb Golden Eagle & shoot Beeman carbon graphite arrows with Crimson Talon broadheads.

How big a boy is he (weight wise) ?

The larger bow has more punch since it has a higher draw weight (approx 60 lb)

The nice thing about that PSE bow is it has a 75% let off which means at full draw you are holding roughly a 20 lb pull.

That let's you hold full draw without getting the shakes a lot longer.

I think that bow is a good choice for a teenager considering price point.

I also reccomend string silencers & trigger release for bow hunting. Some sort of range sights are also a must. And a practice target would also come in handy
