Title: Should I be smart or experimental?
Post by: Brianlocal3 on June 02, 2012, 08:10:00 PM
Hello all,
Well as some of you know i have decided to get rid of my NM Superior. Now I do have a NM Huron 51@28 62", That I shoot very well. Its comfortable, and it just feels good to shoot.  In the trade the gentleman has another Huron this one 49@28 62".  If i trade my Superior to him I will have pretty much a duplicate of what I already have which would be perfect for a back-up bow since there would be no need for new arrows or really re-learning anything.
  But the kicker is i have wanted to try a Hill style bow out also, so he tells me he would also be willing to trade at 57@28 NM classic to me for my Superior instead.
  This is where my dilema lies.  If it was YOU, would you opt for the mirror image of what you already have to have a good solid back-up, or go for something completly new and different just to see if its something you like.
  I know all of these things are a personal decsion but I would like to hear your answer and your reasoning behind it. Thank you all.  

P.S. both of them have the oval/teardrop Steve Turay straight handle, which I am a big fan of.

Besides considering all else...would the extra draw weight be a problem? It would be for me...but only you can answer that.

You should keep looking until you can make a trade that doesn't require input from anyone else  :D  Good luck.

I'd duplicate what I was happy with, more of a good thing is never a bad thing!

See if you can trade for the Classic and in a week you don't like it send it back and trade for Huron....if the fella is willing! Can't hurt to ask!!

Ron, that is a smart idea. And te gentleman I talked to sounded like that might be an option.

I go for new things, never know what you may fall in love with unless you try it.

I traded a bow recently. Both of us preferred our original bows. So, we traded back.

Both of us got to shoot a "new"  bow for a trial period. Only cost was shipping.
