Hey guys,
Just wanted to let ya'll know about my first bow purchase (used). After months of research I decided to go with PSE, I bought the PSE Mossy Oak X, 29" - 70 lb. draw adjustable from 26 to 31 " draw length. Alpine 5 arrow quiver,Whisker Biscuit arrow rest,Limbsaver stabilizer and limb vibration silencers,wrist strap,dead end string stop,tru glo 5 pin micro adjustable sight, and a ADG Sports semi hard bow case. Can't wait to start hitting the bag this weekend!
Thanks for reading Ian
Sounds great..nice to start right out with the Whisker Biscuits....the best hunting rest there is !!!
Did you mention a counter weight...makes a big difference worth adding if you don't have one.

edit add: it didn’t tweak when I first read it ….’Limbsavers’ are something else to me :ashamed:
Congrats on your first bow. Looking forward to reading about your future success with it.
you sound so excited! nothing like welcoming another archer in to the sport! congrats, just turn that poundage down to start don't need to blow your shoulder out.
Congrats on the new bow.... My first 2 bow's were PSE's and they shot great... Good luck with it
Congrats on your first bow. Welcome to the archery brotherhood.
Nice setup. I bowhunted seriously for many years and used all kinds of rests including several dropaways until I realized the best damned hunting rest is a wisker bisquit. Good choice.
congrats , sounds like a nice one ...dial it down so you dont tire out and develop bad shooting form..................
Congrats, my first is a pse as well and I love it. Welcome to the wonderful world of archery.
Thanks for all the kind words guys! I'm very excited, the past summer my buddy lent me his Mathews to use. I fell in love right away, what I like about it is that it's all about consistancy and form once I got those down I was shooting at 25yrd 1 1/2" groups. Now my buddy is about a foot shorter then me so he say's my form will have to change after shooting his.
What poundage would you boy's recommend for a beginner? My draw length is 29" - 29 1/2"
I'd drop it down to 55lbs for punching paper...give enough weight to strengthen your muscles yet not too much, so you can work on your form.
Right on,that makes sense. Thanks MikeQuote:

Do guys have any release's you would recommend and why?
There are lots of different releases and styles to choose from. I see your in Sarnia so I would suggest you take a drive to london to the archers nook and try out different releases in the range in the store. When I bought my bow they let me try out all the different ones.
Thanks Trevor,Quote:

Grave Digger they bleed out game fast for a fast kill
It looks pretty neat, will consider it for sure. i have Rage 100gr broad heads. How long have you been using this release and which model do you use?
The release in the picture a C-10 my goodness the first year they came out I believe that was around 1995Quote:
