About 20 or so years ago, I vaguely remember going to an archery range somewhere in my area that rented bows out. I have no clue if they were top of the line bows or not because I wasn't even deer hunting back then, much less interested in buying a bow. I just went along with a buddy that was into archery, not hunting.

You would think that the manufacturers would travel to big 3D tournaments with a plethora of bows for people to try out. Never shot any 3D tournaments, but I know that Beretta takes a bunch of guns to the big shotgun shoots. Just don't know why the bow manufacturers wouldn't do something like this as part of their marketing scheme.

Regarding arrow length, wouldn't the length be different based upon the brace height of the bow (i.e., longer brace height = shorter arrow), or are we supposed to use a specific arrow length for our draw length.

By the way, that last question was "Is it possible for a shooter to get a good feel for a bow without it being set up for the specific shooter."

When I got into bow hunting about 8 years ago, and pursued it on a regular basis for a couple of years, my hunting buddies back then swore by High Country. I haven't heard much about those bows since I stopped hanging around with those guys.


WT,

There used to be a little guy right at the corner of route 117 and 118 right where I live now and he had a little range in the back, but he closed up shop about 4 years ago. Diamante used to get his crossbow bolts from this guy, but since the place went out of business I have had to order the bolts from a pro shop in Glen Burnie, MD that hates Bass Pro and I am sure you can guess why. Don't know if they have a range up in Glen Burnie.

I am pretty familiar with Taneytown. Hunted pheasants up that way when I was a little kid and drove past it a bunch of times on the way to some property my parents and aunt/uncle owned in PA.
