    Things I was hoping to find in this video. Different types of compound bows, a slim long bow, or a deep short bow. What is the performance different in these shapes? Or limb types, cam types. ie define when do you need duel cam, and when do you need binary cams. What is hybrid cams etc.
    I would love a video that defines all the parameters that eventually leads me to buying a bow that I understand and does what I need.
    Define the parameters for someone that is interested in, but knows nothing about bows except they exist, and look pretty cool.

    Thanks for the video I’m going to a pro shop to get fitted and buy my first bow tomorrow.

    Do you all except trade in on bows towards a new one?

    Are these just the nicest guys ever

    How do you guys feel about Genisis Bows for beginners? Specifically Women? Or what would you recommend for a beginner woman (53yr) last time I shot a bow I was 12yr old with a long curve bow.

    IMO, one of the worst things a bow shop should never do is set up a new shooter with an IMPROPERLY adjusted wrist strap trigger. Those cheap crappy barrel design release NEVER ADJUST short enough to fit nearly everyone’s hand. If I owned a shop that junk would NOT BE SOLD. Have only the type with the webbed strap to the release that can be shortened so the index finger can hook deep over the trigger. Ideally, the tension should be heavy enough so the finger can be placed gently over the trigger without it firing. So many new shooters are totally ruined by shops that let customers buy those garbage releases. In the final analysis the release IS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT ITEM.

    What was the one for 349? Couldnt make out what he said.

    Do you carry the HOYT FACTOR BOW still and how much do they run for .

  9. @skittlepuff on July 8, 2025 at 12:18 pm

    This doesn’t seem very welcoming. Very male centric with the language. “I tell guys” “drinking with the boys” etc. I’m just saying, if you claim to be so welcoming to newcomers and archers alike, you should start with addressing and fixing that very blatant sexism. I would not feel comfortable or welcome in this place just based on how you talk about your customers and community as if half the population doesn’t even exist at all.

    Hi, I’m in a wheelchair but would like to start taking up target practice in my backyard again and I have not since I was you, would it still be better to go to an archery store or would it be better to just order one online

  11. @chrish-4142 on July 8, 2025 at 12:23 pm

    Im a beginner. And the most important question anyone should have including myself was not mentioned or answered here!

  12. @hannibalthe1st565 on July 8, 2025 at 12:24 pm

    Help! I need a new compound bow. What’s the best hunting bow I can get for a budget for a beginner? I have a 26 inch draw.

  13. @VigourAutoDetailing on July 8, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    Hey guys this was a great video. I don’t know anything about bows or bow hunting and I have a goal of going on my first hunt next year. I would love to chat with you more and learn as much as I can.

  14. @Dokkodomma on July 8, 2025 at 12:39 pm

    👍

  15. @Jake_Redacted on July 8, 2025 at 12:41 pm

    Could I ask where you guys are located in terms of minnesota

  16. @jsmitty2047 on July 8, 2025 at 12:42 pm

    I can pick bows up and check them out for weight and feel correct? Just don’t pull them back which I hope anyone going to look at a bow would know not to do.

  17. @Firefistace318 on July 8, 2025 at 12:43 pm

    Great video

  18. @zackystickzz44 on July 8, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    I have been interested in getting into bow hunting/buying a bow. This video helped me out a lot! Looking around my area to find my local pro shop, thanks for sharing!

  19. @mrpumba2147 on July 8, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    Appreciate you making this video as a "older" first time user.

    Is there anything I need to think about before I choose my bow When I do the triangle test My eyes go to the same distance each side So I don’t know if I need left or right i’m a right handed person 😮

    I’ve bought both of my bows from these guys. Definitely know what they’re talking about. They are extremely patient, will pull and setup every bow you want to try while walking you through the entire process.

  24. @NNokTV on July 8, 2025 at 12:57 pm

    I’ve bought bows off the shelf before but I’ve never put in a custom order. How is that process different? I know there is the bow builder tool on certain manufacturer websites. Do you build it, print it out and bring it to your local pro shop or do you do the full build process at the shop itself?

    I just bought a Mathew v3x I had a Mathew mission craze before. I wanted to upgrade. I take it to a local pro shop that has bin great to me. I am having the pro shop transfer my old gear to my new v3x I will be able to shoot the new bow out the gate but I will wait 2 months before I buy a different stabilizer. Same with a quiver. I just did not have the money to drop on everything I have a nice single pin sight already. I shoot hinge release and I love that release it is my favorite to shoot I also own a index. But hinge is for target practice only and index is for hunting

  26. @pharmis on July 8, 2025 at 1:00 pm

    More affordable $579!!! Hahaha fir a beginner, that’s ridiculous

  27. @deli5777 on July 8, 2025 at 1:01 pm

    "All bow sales final", is one big reason why people are buying elsewhere

  28. @kristinawilmar3348 on July 8, 2025 at 1:02 pm

    Where is your shop located? I’m close to San Antonio, TX and am interested in getting into bow hunting. I would love to come pay y’all a visit.
