Deciding on a bow

[Mr.Magoo]

The "Barta Bow" is $420 new.  The basic Turkey Creek is $425.  The basic Horne is $475.  I'd re-think that Barta Bow if I were you ... but it's your money.

I already talked with you Brandon, but my opinion is this,.... I'd buy a custom bow, there are some GREAT ones in your price range.  You are looking for what fits you, so chances are that you will be reselling the bow soon... the resale is much better and easier on custom bows.  Good luck,
Mike

It doesn't matter how pretty it is as I'll probably smear it with mud or camo before a stalk.  It needs to take that in stride along with all the rain and likely exposure to salt water from time to time.

I'll certainly end up with more than one bow and I am looking at those mentioned so thankfully I haven't ordered yet.

Brandon,

I think the bottom line is it would be to your advantage to shoot various longbows until you know what you like. It's hard to sort through all the advice/opinions and have them make sense to you.

If you want good camo put a set of snake skins on it.
