I am looking for a new bow. I had a Martin back in '88 that I only shot for a couple months then set it aside after moving to the city. I like and liked Martin because it is the best bang for the buck IMHO. When I go to the local archery stores, they only have Mathews and Hoyt. Yes, they are pretty bows but they are more buck than I want to spend. Please help me decide on a bow for a beginner.
What I am looking for:
Fits me: I am 6'3" tall, 270lbs, overweight but stong build, middle age, 29" draw weight-measured by local shop.
Best bang for the buck - Fine wine on a beer budget you could say.
Like a bow that is friendly to beginners but is not a beginner's bow that I can grown into.
I was told to look at bows with a A2A over 32" and BH over 7" because I am a beginner.
I would like to eventually hunt with it, however, since I only draw a deer tag in NV only 1 out of 3 years, I will most likely shoot targets 95% of the time.
Looking at the Saber, Bengal, Moab, or ???
I was also looking at Hunters Friend to buy it since it comes completely set up and ready to shoot.
I really appreciate your input!
