The youth bows of today are unreal.

I'm not really loyal to any specific archery brand. It's all personal a preference thing in my opinion. We carry several brands -- Mathews, Hoyt, Elite, Obsession, Bowtech, Bear, etc. I do like the way the majority of those guys handle their business. It's more territorial than the gun business. We can't ship most of them and I see that as a good thing.

I have the luxury of shooting them all daily if I want. You also learn about longevity by seeing what comes in for repair frequently. The good ones remain at the top for a reason.

The downside -- the manufacturers are starting to get the flagship bows at a price where the average consumer can't afford to buy a new bow every year.

I really like setting up the kids. Youth archery is big and nothing is better than seeing a smile on a kids face. I tend to give away more than I should, but we're in a position to do so.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
