Help - I know I want a new bow but I can't decide

[Petrichor]

I want a new bow as well. I'm already planning out the woods for my mad dog.

McBroom bows. 60" mojo recurve, built to your draw and desires poundage. And a touch under the $$$. Or spend a bit more and get veneers and such. Take a look at his Facebook page and his website.

X5 on Maddog Prairie Predator

I'd vote for the MADDOG too, don't let the price fool you, they will shoot with the best of them.

A lot of options, I'd probably shop used (classifieds) or check with RMSG or the Nocking Point and other trad suppliers.  I have a  30"+ draw and I'd stay at 62+ with a recurve.  Also remember if it's marked ??@28 you can likely ad 8 or 9 lbs to the draw weight.  With a long draw it doesn't take a lot of draw weight to get performance.

Good Luck in your decision.  I agree with some of the above posters but buying another bow is as personal of a  decision as they come.

If you are looking to go with a longbow, check out Omega bows. Great price and top of the line performance.

Custom Kodiak "B" handle, with #3 limbs... Makes a 64" bow

Just sayin'.....

McBroom does make a great bow......I had one custom made to my specs with 2 strings and shipped for just under $500. Shoots great also...

Well O.P.....what did ya decide on?

I wish there was some way to try some of all these suggestions lol.
I'm probably going to order a prairie predator once I save up.


Thank you all for the suggestions!

If you go to a bigger shoot with Vendors, you would be able to try a whole bunch of bows.

make the best choice for your situation now and shoot your bow.  In Time you will find something you like better and you can always move to a newer bow.  all of us here do.  you will be able to trade sell or keep your other bow....  Its part of the fun.

if you decide to go with a Maddog, give Mike a call and talk to him first. 31" draw might be a little long for a Prairie Predator, but he will certainly talk you through it. i have one, and i draw about 28.5"-29".

you certainly will be pleased with his work. just make sure you get the fit you need.
