Hunting for a new bow!!!
Alright guys, Im bow shopping and was wondering what all was out there lol. Im the kinda guy that will like to go try one out before I buy, but I was wondering what you guys have and like or have and absolutly hate. If you want you can even help me pick one out!
Will be about December since my mom is helping me get it for Christmas lol so Im starting kinda early.
Land I hunt:
Really brushy and hilly so a shorter, lighter bow is preferred.
Its kinda dark almost constantly so really nice sights is a must!
Where its really thick, I need a lot of let off because I've been known to hold for several minutes (Not fun on my current bow, right outta the 80's with its 25% let off!)
MY BUDGET:
$300, this will probably get me a good bow (Bare), but I would prefer to stay under because I also want custom sights and rest (I RARELY like packages)
If you know a great package, fel free to share though!
I would like to keep the bow at around $200, but I probably wont lol
I also need new (carbon) arrows and tips.
Thanks guys! I'll be posting anything that I find and like and see what y'all think.

I have a 10 year old pse and it's fantastic. But, there's way better our there. A really good brand is actually the red head. It's a bass pro brand and they ale really really nice bows with a cheaper price tag on them
----------
That budget is cutting it close though, especially with the arrows, your looking at $40 a half dozen.

I just bought a diamond razors edge. They're really easy to shoot. Let off is like 80 percent.

Yeah I know, $40 would be cheap, but like I said it will not be until this winter until I get it so I have until next season to get the arrows, quiver and sights. Which I may even use what I have on my bowfishing rig and go to something more basic for it.
