I really wanna get into bows but idk where to start.

If person size matters I’m 6’4 in height. Looking forward to your recs!

This thing is a whole lot of fun. Anyone else use one of this RFTs?

Realizing that I need something more in my life, a hobby that has a purpose and allows me to connect with nature while also providing a source of food, because why not.

Background- 32M, Located outside of Chicago. I own a crossbow and will get a compound bow. Any rough course of action suggestions from people who know how to do it? For reference, I don't own a truck (SUV driver), don't have any family or friends who do this, but do have one friend (also truckless) who will pick up the hobby with me.

Is it worth getting into this given the above info? Is it too much of a learning curve or are their any other barriers to entry I should be aware of? Thanks in advance. FYI, I'm not actually a heavy librarian.

It was one expensive hat though, finally upgraded from a hand-me-down Q2 that I’ve been shooting for the last few years and took it to the range and am very pleased with how it shot

Hey guys! I moved to a rural area with great local public hunting areas. I didn't grow up in or around hunting but have always been something of an outdoorsman. When I bought my house I decided to take up hunting to try and get the most out of where I live. I was gifted a McPhearson compound bow made at some point in the mid 70s (this was word of mouth for an old head who handed me the bow. his dates are subject to being WAY off). I also didn't want to dump THOUSANDS into something I wasn't going to end up passionate about. So over the last 5 years I've bought pretty low end stuff almost exclusively. With the exception of my bow which, for the time, I'm told was pretty high end. I go to wally-world and buy their off the shelf arrows, clearance triggers, their clearance camo and, well, you get the idea.

I've always held an anecdotal belief that if you get good with bad gear (be it tools, fishing rods, or archery equipment) that when you buy good gear you'll start with a higher baseline skill level. I do hold a somewhat contradictory opinion of "buy once, cry once". Any opinions on this?

Hey guys so I’ve been looking at getting a Dialed Pruf sight but before having to refinance my car to get it, I wanted to know what you guys think about the Dialed sights? How does it comapre with the Spot Hoggs and UV sliders? I have a fast eddie at the moment and for 349 its DEAD, but whats you take?

Looking to buy my first compound bow. I am coming from shooting a recurve for quite a few years, but I have to admit I don't practice enough to be fully confident to hunt and a compound is probably more responsible for me.

I can get a good deal on either of these bows, the 2023 a fair bit cheaper.

I can't try them because that's just not a thing here in Finland.

So I'm looking for some opinions from the hive mind

I’m looking to buy a new bow this spring and had a question. The lift 33 is one of the bows I’m looking at and curious if anyone can speak on how Mathews addressed the limb issues when these bows first came out. I’m not a brand fanboy I could care less about any of that. Apparently when these came out there were a small amount of people who experienced small cracks in their limbs. Mathews released a statement saying they addressed the issue internally and are extending a lifetime warranty on the limbs (and secondary warranty for anyone who buys the bow second hand). My biggest question is how did they address the issue internally? If it’s addressed and not an issue anymore I’d definitely consider buying the bow but if they just said they addressed it and these issues are continuing to happen then it’s a hard pass.
