Bow sight

[Muledeerhunter]

Are bow sights the basically the same, or should I look for a particular one (at Bass Pro Shops)? First time with a bow, I plan on practicing so I can go deer hunting with it.

Spot hogg is real good, go to your local archery shop support the little guy, better service and usually free set up with purchase.
Where do you live?

 

[Muledeerhunter]

Thanks. Riverside area. I will look at that sight. (I don't mind shopping at an archery shop, as long as the price is reasonable)

Most bow shops have pricing that is very competitive. If not better in some cases......In fact, when you add in the advice and knowledge you gain from the smaller shop.....It's a no brainer.

Thanks for the information. And, I probably will go to a shop -- the advice will be needed, lol.

I used think that way too. But the more I got into archery, and bow hunting the more price went out the window. Soon you will see that you got to have, what you gotta have. And quality and performance are all that matter. And the better customer(loyal) you are at the local shop the better the deals you will get.

this is all great advice, but being loyal to a local bow shop means when you screw up and dry fire or something none of us have ever done ;D you may get to be back shooting that day, with a big box or internet store you may be buying a whole new bow with no help....

Your honor, I have no recollection...

 

[Muledeerhunter]

I dry fired it before I read that was a no no. I looked it over and don't see any cracks or anything like that.

You may be incredibly lucky, but to be safe you should get a professional to look it over before you draw it again. They shouldn't charge you just to look at it and make sure it's safe.

You need to have a professional look it over. Period

Go to Google images and type in "archery dryfire" or "archery accidents" and you'll see why....

I heard the dry fire could be costly,cams, axles, labor all about $160.00 .........aaaahhh thats what i heard!! :-[

 

[Muledeerhunter]

I had a bow shop look it over -- they said I was a lucky man.

Steveo007 - it is a good thing you only "heard" about stuff like that.

That's great news. I lost a cam, cables and string on a dry fire. Expensive error, but lucky I didn't get hurt. It happens.
