For those of you who don't know, I've been looking at getting into archery hunting for awhile and today was the day! I went down to Cabela's and got a pretty good setup (employees were amazing help!) We set it up and sighted it in all right there! I'm already really happy with the purchase, I can't stop looking at it right now!
Thanks to all of you for the recommendations & advice, it really helped! For those who recommended Hoyts...I listened! A couple weeks ago I talked with our postmaster back home and picked his brain for over three hours. He recommendedd a Hoyt as well. I got a Hoyt Trykon. 33" axle to axle, 7" braces, 316 fps. I've got it at 62lbs right now and I'll gradually work up to about 70lbs for hunting.

Congrats on the purchase.. Keep us updated on progress and don't hesitate if you have questions.
We're gonna need to start a support group. Seems we have a lot of new archery addicts. [:D]

I think this is the denial stage!
Here I sit trying to come up with more excuses I have heard for other addictions.... working at the SO I hear a lot of them!
Hey you Nerd
Welcome to the club. The Trykon is a good bow. Some improvements came out in subsequent models, but that is a solid shooter. I would throw a heavy stabilizer on that puppy and shoot the heck out of it. When that Fuse string goes (and it will) I have a guy that makes great strings. Hoyt cams are hard on strings, but these seem to stand up.
Mine does, this time of year my wife will say, "would you go hunt or go outside or something. Just get out of the kitchen and stop pacing."
Usually a few days before a hunting trip or when I'm trying to decide between working on the house or hunting.
