You any where near Hillsboro? Google Mark Meadows Deadend Archery. Mark is a hell of a guy.
Looking for some advice/guidance. I know pretty much zero about bows. I have decided that I want to extend my deer season past the two weeks I can use my shotgun. I went by my local shop. He was very helpful but I would like to get your opinions as well. I am not very strong so he suggested something in the 50# draw weight range or a crossbow. Early in the season I will be in a tree stand looking over a gap between woods and corn/bean fields. Once they harvest the fields I will likely be in a ground blind in the middle of the field. Looking to be all in for no more than about $800.
His suggestions. PSE Brute Force lite, Hoyt Powermax or a Mission Archery Sniper Lite crossbow.
Anything else I should be looking at? I have done some looking online but I honestly don't really understand all the specs i'm looking at. He (Crossroads Archery in Judah) carries PSE, Hoyt, Mission, Elite, and Mathews.
Thanks in advance for your help.
