I was finally able to get some time to go and shoot some bows for the first time. It was a great experience. The staff was very helpful and not pushy at all. After laying out my general goals and price range, we chose a few bows for me to try out. I asked lots of questions and shot each one a number of times. I narrowed it down to two that felt the best, and after another round of shooting, I landed on the Bowtech Revolt. It’s a 2020 bow and is brand new. This bow just felt the best in hand and seems to shoot very smoothly. It seems to have decent adjustability and technology built into it that should allow it to tune relatively simply. It is the 60 pound model, and it seemed to draw well for me at that weight. I was thinking about backing it down to 50 or so to focus more on form as I learn because I noticed a bit of fatigue after 5 or 6 shots. I could still draw it correctly, but it was definitely noticeable.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been purchasing the accessories for a bow off of the classifieds and other online sources. I have a Scott Echo release and a Cobra Heartland Bowhunter release that I got on the Classifieds over at ArcheryTalk. I have a TrophyTaker rest from there, too. I put a Trophy Ridge Fix 5 pin sight and a Trophy Ridge 5 Spot quiver on, as well as a K-Tech 8” stabilizer. I bought 6 Victory V Force Sport 350 arrows.
I’m super excited to get into this sport (I even stung my forearm a couple of times like a true beginner ). I’m sure I’ll have a million more questions along the way, and I hope to get some help from this forum, too. Feel free to point out any major mistakes you think I made in this process, too. The money is spent, but I’m always happy to learn!
