[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2715740, member: 125590"] I think a person or 5 may have mentioned visiting a good archery shop. Another good place to try out new equipment is outdoor shows. Many of the top line manufacturers bring their stuff out for you to look at and try out. Bear in mind it won't be set up specifically for you, but you get to feel how the let offs for different bows and brands feel. As mentioned, the longer bows are more forgiving. And there are other bow manufacturers out there besides Hoyt, Mathews, and PSE. I have & shoot a circa 1992 Golden Eagle Hawk Carbine. My newest, most often grabbed hunting bow is a Canadian manufacturer named APA. I have their Viper Air set up for 50# draw weight. My wife is shooting an old Bear with a 35# draw weight. Daughter traded in her Weatherby Vangard i got her when she decided she wanted to hunt with me, on a Diamond Infinite Edge set at 35#. She went with that bow as it has a huge adjustability in draw length & draw weight. She's 6'3" with a 31" draw length. After going to an outdoor show with me a few years ago, she ordered an APA Mamba with 50# draw weight. The difference in cams allows her to still easily draw it. Had my daughter not gone to the show, she would have never known about that bow, or that she'd be able to shoot it. [/QUOTE]
