Welp ordered a new Vista sage looks like a samick just under a different name .Cant wait ! got it with the 45lb limbs I have a short draw 26.5 with my hoyt compound so I figured be around 40lbs ? Should be here tomorrow . Just debating whether I should go to the pro shop and get set-up or do it myself ? Hardest part would be choosing arrows I guess .
Most "pro" shops know squat about trad
Do it yourself----I agree with Bear Heart---most of these "pro shops" cater to the wheelie guys and they know little or nothing about trad bows.
I agree with both RkyMtn Joe and Bear Heart, UNLESS you are fortunate to have a trad shop nearby. I count my trad bow shop as one of the greatest assets available :) The guy really knows his stuff and gets my business whenever possible.
The last pro shop guy I talked to wanted to string my recurve with the step through method. I tried to explain about the dangers of limb twist and why it is better to use a bow stringer. He looked at me like I was from Mars. Just beware.
I only go to the "pro-shops" to buy things like field points, nock sets, etc. Asked for 250 grain broadheads one time and they thought I was weird.
Yep, set it up yourself, and don't ask them what arrows you need either!! :banghead:
I agree with everyone else set it up yourself, unless you have a trad shop near you.
lol alright thx all ! I just gotta make a list of everything ill need and go from there .
