I recently moved back to Pa. I need to buy a new Bow and some arrows. I have not bow hunted in 15 years. I have no idea what to buy and which brands are good / bad etc. Any suggestions on a bow, arrows, points, etc... Thanks. I would like to keep the bow under $350, if possible.

I see no problem in you staying under $350 for your setup. You can find good deals on bows a couple seasons old where someone NEEDS a brand new one. good luck
We sure got a lot of members in these forums from PA, mainly in the general discussion. hope to see ya around

Thanks from a bow novice.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Only some have film.
My old neighbor carved his own long bows, made his own arrows, and killed whitetail, mule deer, and elk every single year I lived next to him. Last time I spoke to him he wanted to make his own broadhead out of flint. (that tells me technology and exspensive equipment isn't everything [:D])

I need to stop at the local shop and get measured and decide on a pull weight. Thanks for the advice.
I more question, should I buy this as a "kit" that comes with sights, pull, stabilizer,etc. or just a bow and then shop for the other items. I think I might want a pendulum sight, what do you think?

and if you are into speed they are warranted to shoot 3 grains per pound arrows I will also mention I am shooting my TSS with a 275 grain Speed Pro Max arrow 320 FPS and that is at 29" draw length on 70# at 40 yards the speed is still 292 FPS with 52 foot pounds of KE
the new Per-FX is supposed to be even faster!
