ETAR and 600$

[kevsuperg]

going to denton and will be looking for a new ,possibly used 50# longbow.  dont want to spend more than 600$
 who should i see ?  thinking bear ausable, like the looks of great northern, then again black widows are nice.

You are going to be like a kid in a candy store!  Your biggest problem will be deciding which one is THE ONE!
Take your time, and try as many as you can before you decide.  Shoot them all, then narrow it down to a few favorites and shoot those again.
Have fun!

What Whip said.  Try a bunch and go with your gut.  A lot of them will shoot awesome so at the end of the day go with the grip that you like best and the looks that make you grin and your heart beat faster.  Don't overthink it.  You mentioned some good bows but I think with some test drives and shopping you can find some even better choices.

[kevsuperg]

yea, i already cant sleep.  i shoot a 50# montana but i'd like to get something with alittle more zip.  
 have to work the 21st,heading down tues morning.  i just have to decide who i wanna see first thing thursday morning.

Should have a wide range of choices for $600.  A buddy of mine is bringing 2 or 3 premium custom longbows and I'm pretty sure either one of them will go for under $600.

Great news I'm bringing a spotless Stryker Stinger 52# at 25" 56" bow. I just don't shoot it.

[Bow man]

For a just a little more you can get a new bow from us with warranty.

[kevsuperg]

I read your article in TBM.  I will definitely be stopping by.
 I am a Michigan boy at heart and would like to buy from a Michigan maker

[tracker12]

Big Jim. Leon Stewart, Foley just to mention a few of bows that will be there.  Plus the blanket sales usually have a few gems.

[BOWMARKS]

You are going to have a realy great time !!!

Shoot them all.  

[Keith Zimmerman]

$600 should get you a nice one.

[2fletch]

Try Striker. Rick has a couple of bows near that range. I have shot one some over the last few months and have been quite pleased with it.

[sam barrett]

Don't forget to check out the blanket on the hill swap in the evenings there.  You can often find some great deals on bows there too!

[Todd Alexander]

Problem is you'll come back with 3 bows and you'll spend 2 grand doing it.  Good luck explaining that to the Mrs.  PM me if you need pointers on how to do that.

[ARCHER2]

Don't miss checking out the Stalkers too.
South will be there with some of his offerings.
From everything I've ever heard about it, you're gonna have a blast!

X2 what sam barrett said I wouldn't jump on anything until a good long walk through the blanket swap, maybe 2 or 3 evenings worth,good luck, just give gas money for the trip home to a trusted friend.

[Wapiti Chaser]

Yep $600.00 on the blanket goes along way !  Several dealers also have used bows inside. Try as many as possible and the bow will find you. I have shot $1000.00 plus bows that I couldn't shoot to save my life and $300.00 bows I couldn't miss with.

[kevsuperg]

huh, ill push my chevy home if i have too.  
 i ve never shopped for a bow there so am i to assume the dealers / sellers will let me shoot their bows before i buy.

[kevsuperg]

i think i remember some staves for sale when i was last there.
i suppose i could load my truck up with choice staves and make my own longbow.
 what i want if i buy is a straight limb, classic design.
 northern mist has a nice one,the classic.

[mahantango]

You will love the Northern Mist Classic.
