Flagship bows aren't always the most tunable. I've got a Diamond Infinite Edge Pro that tuned up perfectly with the arrow at perfect centershot, and the string perfectly plumb with the riser. Best score with this bow in my league's 300 shoot was respectable 287, which was higher than some of the guys shooting the newest Mathews target bows. Also, used flagship bows may be better suited for a new archer who wants an excellent quality bow at a lower price-point without breaking the bank. I bought an almost-brand-new Bowtech Destroyer 350 seven years ago for $350. My friend bought it on a whim at 70-lbs when it first came out, but he couldn't draw it back more a few times even after lowering it to 60-lbs, so he never shot it again. I also bought a dry-fired RPM 360 with bent cams that the owner didn't feel like putting money into fixing, so I bought it for $100 and got new cams for it at cost. Did that again on a dry-fired Prodigy. All 3 used flagship bows cost me 2/3 the price of a current flagship bow. My current favorite setups are my Bear Whitetail Maxx and Alaskan XT bows, which combined fully set up, costs half of what a current flagship bow all set up costs. Most of the modern flagship bows, like you said, have a lot of moving parts - too many, if you ask me. Some of these innovations just seem to me to be solutions looking for problems. I like my bows simple - static split yoke cable(s) that lets me yoke tune, 3 strings instead of 5, shimming cams instead of mechanically shifted cams (always subject to mechanical failure), nice beefy risers that has some meat to them with weight that lets me hold steadier. I'm calling it now that some of these new bows with the skeletonized risers will suffer structural failure due to metal fatigue, especially on the really long riser ones. Personally, I'd start out a new archer with a mid-range priced bow, like the two Bears I mentioned. Both of these bows are excellent shooters that are on par with some of the flagship bows costing more than double. Anyway, nice video. Sorry for the hijack. 😜

Dude what woukd you suggest for me? I just want to hunt big game. Budget is $5-600CAD.

[@caseymccoy2692]

Appreciate your time, I'm definitely looking forward to getting started. Just got to find someone here in Texas DFW area that is willing to help a 60 year get started. I did some archery stuff while growing up and I really enjoyed it. Things in life kind of bridged me onto another path....... now I think that retirement is around the corner moving back to the country it's time to enjoy things just for me.......

[@djprettyman]

A little outside of dfw. Bow barn in greenville texas is amazing! I'm a new shooter also

[@patboatwright8085]

This was awesome great information y’all are about a 5 hour drive and I definitely don’t mind driving for great service and y’all’s willingness to just help new people

Thank you. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. You said a lot of things I was thinking.

[@eldorta]

I've loved archery since childhood. I did Kyudo (Japanese archery), but I wanna start with a compound bow. I just enjoy shooting.

[@fallenevangelion]

Thank you for the good info!

[@space__568]

Hey this is really good video but I ordered a bow from Amazon for about 200$ and it works fine for me and it was very easy to tune and stuff and I think you should make a video and educate us about why we should get a higher end bow❤

[@NVLunarTaco]

Awesome video. I just bought my first compound bow yesterday. Coming from a rifle background.

Need to know where you got the shirt!!

[@beyondtranquil9513]

sweet shirt dude is that your merch?

[@Sn34ky_Man]

Does it matter what hand you hold the bow in. I'm left eye dominant, does that mean I have to hold the bow in my right and draw with my left.

[@aengusgiblin2284]

Great Advice Thanks for The video 🤟

[@extremeoutfitters]

Thank you!

Your beard would have my wife buying anything from you Bro!!!😂

[@marshalledgar]

New to all this-forgive my ignorance-Would it be advisable to go to an archery range to rent and train before buying?

[@arlenedoeden6662]

What is a stabilizer bar? What is it purpose?

[@stygs6]

helps stabalize bow by adding weight to front, theres also stabalizers for the back, if you havent already found out

[@MOAON_AABE]

Very informative, exactly what I needed, thanks bud!!! 👍

[@JamilRezaee]

Where is the address of your shop in New York Manhattan or not?

[@timothygunter1712]

I wrecked my left elbow, in 2010. I deeply desire to switch over to left handed shooting. It feels like a big leap. not sure where to start...

[@arianitonline8748]

can a compound bow be operated like a traditional bow, especially like a horse bow, like draw without the holding tool, fast shooting and so?

[@AussieArchery]

Not sure if there’s a difference in the speed of shooting but you don’t need the release tool, that’s more of a personal preference

[@TheMono25]

⚠️⚠️⚠️Is there anything I need to think about before I choose my bow When I do the triangle test My eyes go to the same distance each side So I don't know if I need left or right i'm a right handed person 😮⚠️⚠️

[@josephrickard7973]

Hey I just tried that. Same thing was happening to me. They forgot to mention, you need to focus on an object in the distance through the triangle, then bring the triangle back to your face continuing to focus on that object.it should go towards your dominant eye. It worked for me that time. Or with arms out stretched focusing on the object close 1 eye, if the object stays in view that's the dominant eye, if it shifts over it's not the dominant eye. Good luck.

[@TheMono25]

Im right eye dominant and right handed
