Can someone please talk me out of buying this bow!!! :pray:
No seriously, I was reading some of the post about the shorter sight window and how some find the need to cant the bow to get a clear sight picture. I shoot with the bow vertical. Is this a common problem among PCH owners or just for some. I plan on taking BW up on their try before you buy program, but if this is a common issue i might try the PSA.
I cant the bow, at about 2 o'clock - 7 o'clock so I dont have a problem. I shot a pch, and loved it, shot psa, and pma. I ended up with a pmax, but would have taken any of them My friend shoots verticle, like you, and did not like the pch as well. He likes the psa. I did not find the pch blocked my picture. even verticle.
Anchor point makes a difference. I shoot a high one so no problem with vertical bow.

-You already have a perfectly good bow!
-By the time you ordered it and it arrived, you wouldn't have it
tuned or be ready for hunting season and probably ruin your
season...
-You could use that extra money to take a hunting trip out of
state.

somewhere) :deadhorse:
There I tried... But in all honesty, it sure does look sweet! I am not one to judge.... I have been fighting the new bow syndrome myself for a few years... But am afraid i am going to lose out in the near future.... I have a 42# and 57# bow and a take down that would fit in the middle sure would be useful...
Slasher I really appreciate the effort :)
I have a PCH and do not cant it and have no problems seeing the target. I like it better than any BW I own.
I've been looking at the PCH also and had the same concern about the sight window because I shoot a vertical bow like you. I recently shot a TF one piece, which has a 3 1/2 inch sight window and it was ok. No problems. the PCH has a 3 inch sight window so I think it would be comparable.

I had a beautiful PCHX and did have a problem with the sight window. I tend to shoot vertical or with a slight cant and the riser got in the way for me with a vertical bow as ranges neared 20 yards. The bow was fantastic in all other aspects. I ended up going back to a PSA. I demoed the PMA and it shot great, but I didn't see a big benefit from the bigger riser (it was heavier, and I didn't like the look as much). I'd say you should try one out, your results may vary. Good luck...Mike
I shoot the PMA, PSA, and PCH. Sometimes I shoot vertical, and don't see a problem with the sight window on the PCH.
I have to agree with xtrema312 on the anchor point. I shoot 3 under with the middle finger in the corner of my mouth and this may be why I can see just fine.
Sorry, can't talk you out of it. Hope your trial goes well.
Really appreciate all the good info. Thanks to all :goldtooth:
