bow hunting

[bobcat]

i am looking at getting into bow hunting. does anyone have any suggestions on bows? i was looking at the Mathews

Thats a good one, but this is Benelli gun website so you might be a little misguided here. I have a Mathews too, buy it you wont have any regrets.

I don't bowhunt anymore, but if I did I'd get a Matthews.

If you can afford a Matthews. Get it. If you can't> www.huntersfriend.com

If I bowhunted (which I don't) I'd use a Benelli bow (which they don't make).

HAHAHAHAHAHA . Nice. I'm glad bow hunters would trust Benelli forum members, bet'ya people go on the Matthews threads and ask questions about slug guns too... fair is fair. Welcome friend!

I've taken many whitetails with my Mathews Q2, I bought this bow new many years ago and I'm still hunting with it. Here are a few of the better animals I've taken with it.

I've owned Jennings, Oneidas and High Country. I shot all of them very well. Bows nowadays are made well, find a bow shop that will let you shoot various models before you buy. At the end of the day proper form and shot placement is all that matters. By the way, bow hunting the rut is an awesome time in the woods.

Mike makes an excellent point.
None of your equipment will take game while you're sitting at home watching football or at work.
Being there is 90% of the game.

I couldnt agree more with both of you. Hunting isnt an arm chair sport, you need to be there. I hear so many people try to give advice from what they heard or saw on TV, most of those hunting shows are utter BS. Get out there and do it then come talk to me.

like others have said before here, get the best equipment you can afford and learn to use it well. Then go as much as you can.
