New to archery - what bow to get?

[Racethesunset]

Yes, it´s a bit on the expensive side, but..... want it!

will have a look at those CArbon Injections, but after I´ve shot a bit. They´re pretty expensive to loose or wreck..

Amen to that!

I will confess to losing a lot of arrows during the last few months (over a dozen), learning how to shoot this year. The added cost of those Easton Injexions makes it sting a bit more, and taught valuable lessons. I have contemplated going back to Carbon Express until I get better, e.g. smaller groups 70 yards plus. We shall see...

Haha you can say all you want racethesunset(stupid name) but my bow made by elite archery is one of the best and now The strothers cant even be competed with

As to what sight to use for high-country bowhunting:

Was thinking of the G5 Optix XR of some sort,. bur are there others that offers 3 fixed and one dial in pin?

 

[Slim Jim]

You should check out spott Hoggs sliders. They make great sights

I would recommend that you stay away from that sight; I had a buddy that had one of those and the dial would move after every shot. Go with either the Spot Hogg or the Montana Black Gold sights.

 

[Villreinjeger]

Had a look at the Black Gold Ascent, and it seems to fit my bill perfectly! Thanks DWarcher!

However, it is quite heavy, and I´m, unsure it will fit the PSE DNA together with a tight spot quiver? will I be able to adjust easily with the quiver mounted?

I also had a look at the Leupold Vendetta. It seems like a sterling idea together with 4 pins!!

I reckon a PSE dream season DNA is going to be a bit too "loaded" with all that gear, or..? What do you think?

I really like the idea to range the animal, pick the correct pin and let go. I´m not very keen on another loose range finder..
I will be hunting in steep conditions, so like the fact it does some calculations for meg.

I also used a G5 XR sight last year. Found the pins to be somewhat lacking in the brightness dept. in the timber at first/last light. Seeing as Colorado doesn't allow electronic devices (sight pin lights), I ordered a custom MBG sight and the pins are noticeably brighter than the G5. Live & learn!
Good luck with getting your new bow set up! Shoot a bunch, and let the bow pick you...

 

[Villreinjeger]

Just ordered a few bits and pieces:

- a custom Montana Black Gold Ascent sight with 4" dovetail, rearfacing dial and 4 pins along with a 2" housing. 45 or 50m on fixed pins, dial in from there.
- TightSpot quiver in Mossy Oak Infinity
- G5 Expert Pro arrow rest (Planning on using FOBS)
- Leupold Vendetta

What bow to put it on will have to wait. There is a PSE ds DNA on special at a local dealer, so if it fits me, that will be the one....

 

[Gman]

I´ve done a bit of research on various sites lately, and has landed on the following bow available from a local dealer:

Opinions on my choices are greatly appreciated!

PSE Compound Bow Dream Season DNA 2013
G5 Sight Optix XR
Qad Ultra Rest HDX (or Ripcord / Spott Hog Whammy or Premier?)
Carter Chocolate 4

Have tought about the Ulmer Edge Broadhead. Other suggestions? What arrows to choose..?

Would like to be able to shoot up to 70-90m skills permitting..

I have a heavily discounted QAD rest in the classifieds if you're interested.

Sorry, that was a bit too late.... Just bought the G5 Expert Pro at e-bay for USD80
