[QUOTE="kshunter, post: 1043888, member: 19377"] There is a lot of good advice in this thread! You will not go wrong with any of the major brand bows. Definitely look for longer axle to axle bows and taller brace heights as mentioned they will build your confidence faster. I also retired my old Matthews ultra max this year and actually went with a bear brand bow this go around. There are so many personal preferences for setting up a bow and models of bows it is unbelievable. Buy descent quality equipment let a reputable pro shop fit the bow to you and shoot it a lot more than you do your rifle lol and you will be in business when ol big dad walks by this coming fall. I truly feel that your mechanics better be muscle memory when it's time to make a difficult shot or it ain't happening no matter how good your equipment is! My ultra max is way down the list when it comes to advanced technology anymore but I guarantee anything inside of 30 yards is in big trouble if it finds itself a target. Btw +1 for the whisker biscuit. No moving parts and arrows don't ever fall off! There is nothing worse than watching a 150 class whitetail walk off because your dang rest froze up and won't work! Bow hunting is a whole different ball game than LRH. Enjoy your new bow and have fun with it! I commend and look up to you for picking something up later in life it motivates me. Thank you!!
