THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT

I'm new to bowhunting and a guy at work is selling a PSE Dream Season bow, ready to hunt with arrows, release, sights, rest, etc. for $400. A friend of mine thinks I should get a Bear Legion (also ready to hunt package) for $450. If the draw length can be adjusted to fit me, I'm leaning toward the PSE.

Which is the better bow/ what would you do?

I'd probably go with the PSE, just for the fact that it cost the guy way more than $400 when he bought it new. You can pay full retail for the Bear, or get the PSE for less than half price.

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

PSE X-Force bows (such as the Dream Season), are great bows. Very smooth draw, no recoil, effortless bullseyes. I have a 2010 PSE Vendetta XL X-Force. Shoots quietly too.

I got the modules changed out today to fit my draw length, and I should get to shoot it tomorrow! I feel like I'm going to have to re-learn to deer hunt but I'm excited about it. Thanks again for the feedback.
