I shoot a Reflex Timberwolf, my hunting partner shoots a PSE. He sure does eyeball my bow.They build the PSE's here in Tucson. We're leaving today for a archery deer/bear hunt in the White mountains. Should be fun.

I was looking at your trucks, I use to have a 61' unibody. Sold it before I finished it. Wish I still had it.

Saturday night at camp they were making a lot of noise, so Sunday I used my digital caller to bring them in close. First coyote didn't know what hit him, second one was just about to bolt when he got hit. Coyotes are always good entertainment when deer isn't going good.

Coyotes are the best practice for running shots. In general thier good practice with any weapon. My Colt .45 is also fun with them.

My first bow was a York recurve, I shot the crud out of it, great bow. I think I was 12 yrs old.

As far as which bow?, as mentioned, just about most of the brands out there are good bows. It is easy to get caught up in all the hype, or perswaded by opinions. Find the pro shops and shoot every bow you can get your hands on, which ever one feels the best in YOUR hands, and that YOU can controll the best, that is your bow. I have been shooting a bow now for 30 years, and tried a lot, I mean a lot, of bows, and there is always one that you keep going back to. I have owned 4 compounds (2 Martins and 2 PSE's) and 2 recurves in all those years. I shoot the ones that fit me. I plan on getting a new one at the end of this year, so far I like the Darton Pro 3000, and the PSE Force X, both are spittin arrows out at well over 300fps.

Good luck,
Cheers
