Hey folks, first time poster. Just moved from TN and am about to step into the world of archery for the upcoming deer season. I plan to buy a bow in the next few weeks and practice a few times a week if needed until I'm ready. 

 

I shot a few bows and really liked the Bowtech Fuel. I was at a local shop, not Cabelas. The guy said its capable of taking down any animal and its a great bow quality wise and price wise for someone getting into archery hunting. I'd like to get feedback from you all on it. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a good entry level bow and like you said if you shot them and that's the one you like then it is a good match for you. I cant really tell you if the bow will be good for you or not but Bowtech does make good bows. That bow can go up to 70lbs and ibo of 320, yes the guy at the shop is right that will take out any animal in north America.

 

My advise is if you think you are going to get pretty into archery is get a little nicer sights than the cheap ones out there Black Gold has a 5 pin called the widow maker around the $150 mark.

 

Other thing that I would get a little better on is get a decent stabilizer 365 archer has a good one called DVS depending on the length 80-100 bucks

 

  Where did you shoot the bows Average Joes or Archery Country?

 

When you get the bow there is a archery range off Hanson Blvd in Andover they have an indoor range for winter and an outdoor range, broad head range,  and either 3 or 4 walk through

If you are not a member it is 5 bucks to shoot.

I actually wound up buying it and spent a while with the guys at the shop getting it sighted in and learning to shoot. The crew at Average Joes is great. 

 

Can't wait for archery season!

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.
