i need a 31" bow ... there's not really a lot of choice for affordable bows with that pull.

i have an authority (nice bow, but left handed) and ordered a wild/2016 to enjoy for target shooting and piggies in the neighborhood ...

anyone love or hate these?

set pull, tuning weight -- its more accurate than i am -- nice bow, and fast

Jeff, some may be better than others or have specific features, but it's hard to find a bad bow...they're all good.

for $299, and its more accurate than any bow *I* have owned,

Biebs, it's fast, smooth, and far better than my (very early) bear authority

Bows are just like rifles. There's plenty of hype and claims, but in the end, just like with a Ruger Predator for $400, cost may not equate to accuracy or function.

just bought 3 x bear apprentice III bows for the family

Great....archery is a good family sport. Practice in the back yard before firing up the barbeque.

Damn, now you have me looking! I haven't been able to use a compound after breaking my bow hand in 5-6 places a few years ago. I just started shooting my old Archery Research (AR34) compound this winter, and I'm good to go. I've got to catch up with what's out there now, bow-wise.
