Hey all. I've been putting it off long enough and I finally want to pull the trigger on getting a bow and start hunting (after plenty of practice of course). Stopped at a local shop last week and put a few down range with a mission, then for the hell of it they grabbed the new Mathews Triax and after a few shots I was smitten. Just starting out, I wasn't sure how much I should invest- but I usually follow the buy once cry once motto, so I'm thinking of passing on the mission and getting a flagship bow since I won't worry about outgrowing it.
Several of my coworker's have bow hunted/target shot/league shot for years and they think that the Triax's 28" A2A and 6" Brace height would be less forgiving to a new shooter and think I should go with something longer. I'm going to try and get back to the store soon and possibly look at the Halon (30" A2A) or Halon 32 (32" A2A) with the 7" Brace Height. I do value their opinion, however they both admit that they haven't been up to date with most of the new stuff.
So for picking out my first bow I'm looking to you all for some insight or opinions.
