Post buying a bow

I have been thinking about getting back in to bow hunting. I need a new bow. I have been looking at mathews and hoyt. The Mathews creed has my attention. If any one has one let me know how it is.or if you have any other suggestions let me know.

One of the AO members Lost Arrow is a bow dealer and stocks Mathews bows. I just bought a Mathews Extreme from him and he was very easy and knowledgable to deal with - he made the whole process enjoyable, had great suggestions on where to spend the right money and where to save and was not offended with me sourcing some of the components from other dealers - he assembled and tuned everything.

His name is Neil and his email is BARRY.STRATTON@forces.gc.ca

I've had Martin, PSE, Matthews, Bowtech and Hoyt. Last year I went to the G5, Prime, primarily because my son had a business selling them, he has since closed his basement business. Regardless, this bow fits me better than anything I have ever shot. Try them all, pick what fits you best and buy the best equipment you can afford. They are all good, so it comes down to what fits you best.

Smile Lost, good choice

Lost Arrow is an excellent choice for bows.Neil can poperly out fit anyone with the equipment needed for the sport,and his after sales service is second to none.I personally would highly recommend him to anyone,his knowlage and years of experience in archery is obvious,and his posts come with an honest opinion from his own use. In fact he has been around so long,I heard, he even out fitted Fred Bear with his first bow. lol

Thanks gentlemen that means a lot ...

The Mathews are awesome bows with warrenty second to none...the Creed is also an outstanding choice...

I did a humble review of the creed you may like to look at to help out in your decision..

good luck in your choice...

Neil
