Although it's part of sport. I wanted to use Compound Bow for hunting. I wonder which bows are good. Like PSE, Bear, Diamond, Hoyt ect. If anyone have experience with different compound bows, Let me know. I am trying to pick good quality bow that is more stable and sturdy. I am aware of nock alignment ect . My oldest brother have Diamond Compound Bow and it's a good bow. He bought it used and let me shoot arrows and It was pretty accurate.
In matter of fact, I haven't shot bow for nearly 30 years and still attains accuracy (whole lot better than old fashioned bow that I used to have). I shot 5 arrows to box target. I had 6" diameter total target while my brother had 5" diameter total target (which is close to bull eye). He was shocked that I shot arrow accuracy and told me that I am ready to hunt despite 30 years of archery drought.
So I want to buy good used Compound bow that I can use for hunting and target practice. I wanted between 60 to 70 lb draw (can be adjustable) and I don't care about letoff %. Something that shoot arrow at 290 to 320 fps. Have either lighted or neon glow adjustable sight. To be honest, I am AMBIDEXTROUS which means I can shoot either right handed or left handed. I write right handed but bowls either left or right handed. So It doesn't matter if Bow be LH or RH.
Also I would like to know about arrow tips that use for deer hunting. I went to Walmart store and Cebelas sporting goods in Kansas City, KS (Located at Legends Shopping center). I had hard time deciding which razor screw-on tip. There are many different type of tips such as razor edge 3 sided, retractable razor edge, retractable razor edge act like fins that make arrow spins for accuracy. I am kinda dizzy on many different options.
Suggestions? and Which brand of Compound Bows you suggested (try suggest several good brands)
