FYI : There was a guy selling lightweight Uukha's on AT the other day. He had 36#, 34# and 30# all Medium limbs if I remember correctly. Good price a $265. These were the older Ex1 Evo 2's that the new SX50's replaced. I bought the 30#'ers. I'm going to put them on my Samick Discovery riser, should make 36-38# and be a lot of fun.

Thanks for the heads up.
But I dont do AT.
Am only on Tradtalk as far as archery goes.

Was thinking shorts on a 17 riser. Like a 58" bow for hunting or 3D. Could go 60" for target, maybe longer.....but to me bowhunting is first and any bow I have has to fit that role, even if just in form.

So im sold.... Or stuck.....at 58" max.

Have had 60 to 62" and just dont like em.

BTW a strung 58" lays in the backseat without hitting doors. Just a perk i guess wink

There's a lot of good bows out there - Hoyt, Mathews, Xpedition are in the top of of most ratings - Bear, PSE, Prime are there as well, YMMV.

I'd look back as far as the 2015 models - there hasn't really been a major tech jump in the last five years - IMHO.

My Mathews No-Cam HTR is not as fast as today's line-up, but it's killed what I've shot at, stays in tune, and has been a great performer.

I picked a Mathews Halon 32 this year - used, cheap, in great shape and while I like it - it doesn't kill anything deader than the HTR.


I picked up a used HTR a few years ago on ebay! I probably paid too much for it , but it is a sweet shooting bow and at pert near 63 is as much bow as I will ever need and it is more accurate than I am! I have no complaints!

I am not an elite archery guru but I think everyone is making a good bow right now.

I've always shot price point bows until picking up a PSE EVO NXT 33 this year, which I am quite happy with. As far as saving a little cash, I am of the opinion that most of the mid-range stuff these days is good enough that I would hunt with about any one of them, and give up nothing to my current setup.

Used to buy top end stuff regularly.
Esp when shooting 3D.
Gave up on a new bow every year even for hunting a while back.

Think my Hoyt Torrex and Blackwidow PSA2 will be my last purchases ( both bought this yr ).

Maybe an ILF target rig of some sort, mid level. Depends on how shoulder does.

For hunting? Im done buying bows.
