I mentioned in another thread that levi is wanting a vertical bow. I'm lost. He got one off here a couple of years ago and shot it every day for a long while. Then he outgrew it. Now he has a birthday coming and wants one. Seem to be $300+ depending on brand and what all you get on it. He wants to hunt with it.

What do I need to stay away from?

Got an archery shop near you? Take him there and let him handle a few different brands... Maybe shoot a few... See what fits him and feels good in his hand...He'll know when he handles the right bow...The most expensive bow is not always the best bow...

That is the plan. But if he picks out a PSE...then you guys tells me it explodes, I'll be pissed. So, what do i need to stay away from? I plan to take him Friday to a bow shop @brock ratcliff knows the owner.

Complete built bows bad? No whisker buscuits? Never buy single pin? Don't buy a release off Wish? Don't be a fool and buy used?

I bought Hunter a bowtech that went from like 15-60#. Draw went all the way up to 30”. It was a $300 bow rigged out. At that time I want to say it had a biscuit. Bought a drop away rest. As for release we all use the Scott little goose, even me. Hunter has since changed to a thumb release and says he’s shoots better with it. Call me if you’d like to discuss more
