And I am trying to get advice anywhere I can find it.
I stopped in the local pro shop last night, because I was told that would be the best place to start. He has a used Mathews, Legacy I think and he said it was around five years old, that is right at my price range. His newer bows are a little out of my price range, but I might be able to swing a deal on one if I do a little horse trading. If I go that route I'd be looking at a PSE. My buddy knows a guy selling a Hoyt Katera that he is insistent upon me buying, because the Mathews is old and isn't a good bow anymore.
At this point I am partial to the Mathews. I pulled it back at the shop and it seemed to be the right draw length. It is 60-70 pounds, which is right where I want it.
Does anyone here have any experience with these bows? Would I be crazy to pick the Mathews over the Hoyt or should a guy start out his archery experience with a brand new bow?
