Default Anyone using PSE Bows

I am looking at the coyote or kudu for an intry level bow - I have a 28" draw and I am looking at 45 to 50 # for whitetail - does this sound like a good combo?

cdi, I'm sure not trying to be rude, but in my past experiences with PSE trad bows, I wouldn't give $5 for a truckload of them if part of the deal was I had to use one. I must admit, I haven't checked them out in a few years now, and the quality may have improved, but I don't care to look at them again. I suggest Martin for an over the counter bow. You should be able to find one used (or another good bow) at a good price. 45-50# is fine for whitetail, as long as you have your arrows flying straight, your broadheads sharp, and your accuracy down.

Not rude at all - I would rather know than make a mistake later -
Thanks,
Mike

Another excellent bow that would be a better choice than a Martin is a Chek Mate. I owned a Martin and the Chek Mate bows are hands down better and about the same price. I now own 2 Chek Mate bows! Contact Chad (LBR) at www.recurves.com. You'll find many happy Chek Mate owners on this forum<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The newest generation of PSE Trad bows are made for them by Ragim of Italy. They are the same folk that make the AIM/Samick/Internature line of trad bows.

Jason,

PSE would be good only if your way of fishing was to beat them with a stick!! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I have one of those PSE Coyotes. I have not found anyone I dislike enough to sell it to yet. Its junk.

If the newer ones are made by AIM/Samick they might be a little better. The AIM hunting bows cost $200 and under. I have never shot one but have have been told that they are OK for the price you pay for them.

I'd add that you need to use fairly heavy arrows - more oomph and less bzzzzzt is the key to penetration. The high poundage, hard cam, compound shooters have enough KE to get decent momentum even out of a light arrow - we don't.
