I work at two military bases in San Antonio, Texas. I am also disabled and try my hardest to work, but am limited due to my conditions. I would like to test your product. Deer season is flourishing here in Texas and South Louisiana, so I have the ideal places and other disabled vets to hunt with.

I have an old bear bow and a newer martin bow, I still hunt with the bear but I didn't like the martin that well. I would like to test this one out to see if it is suitable for me. I would like to have a new one but I just can not find that perfect one.

i have a pearson spoiler plus. i have been hunting with it for about 18 yrs now and have loved its solid performance. unfortunately i can't find cables for it anymore and its age is showing. the other issue is i don't have a pearson dealer within 300miles. i live in North Dakota. i would love to test this particular product just because my current pearson has been such a dependable hunting tool.

i would like to field test any compound bows that you have available for field testing. I have hunted with Matthews, Bear, and Jennings. So far the Matthews has outperformed them all. But sadly Matthews is not in my budget I am looking for a less expensive bow that I would feel comfortable recommending to the friends and family that want to get into bow hunting and dont have the finances to buy Matthews. So please let me field test any Compound bows you may have.

I have shot Bear Bows way back then got a High country ultra force
again a long time ago and have stuck with it I have never missed with it I have shot hogs deer turkey with it love it the way it feels in your hand there is no bow tork it is very balanced easy to set up and shoot (the draw back on it is it is on the heavy side and is 40 inch axal to axal so it is not to good for pop up ground blinds you hit the roof if not carefull
So I would love to try these new shorter bows and give them a hard work out beacuase if I buy one it has to last a long time I do not like change if it works do not try and fix it kind of guy and I have been bow hunting for 15 or so years now and we have a long seasond here in texas and I hunt all most every day of it (SO I would be a very good tester for any product to do with bow hunting

I have a Browning Mantis that is about 12 or 13 years old. I'm not exactly sure what the ibo is on it but i have the draw weight set at around 70 lbs. and it is still comfortable to draw and shoot. I have never shot a more modern bow than the one I am talking about . I also have not had any success with my last 2 hunting seasons using the browning. I have been thinking of buying a new more modern bow but I want to make sure I choose the right bow for how and where I hunt . It would truly be a blessing to test this Pearson on the range and in the woods. So have a safe and prosperous hunting season.

my first bow is a Ben person and i still have it .the Constitution is all wood and it shot very quite.because of its wood riser. The brace height is all most 9 inches witch made it very forgiven. the bow grip is very thick and did not form in your hand to well. its cams are small and with a small idler wheel. one of the parts i love the most is the wood workmen ship on the riser with the wood limb makes for a beautiful bow.all in all this bow was the best in its time with what they know at that time. A lot of rabbits fell to this bow.to this day its 41 years old.

I don't know if you read these comments and you probably not feild testing this product any more due to some of the dates on the comments but it is sickening on these comments..... I'm handicapped...going blind...broke...the ex sold my hunting equipment...blah, blah, blah. What they are really saying is that I am too cheap to go try bows that are right for me then buy the one for my style, technique, and taste. There are different vehicle brands and people buy them for their own reasons same for bows. I know that the accuracy in the bow is in how well the shooter addapts to the bow not making the bow or the person more accurate but the combination of the two and how well they mesh. Yes, I would love to test your bow giving you nan honest and sincere evaluation of your product

id love to test this bow. i had a golden eagle for the longest time . i had to sell it because my wife and i had a baby girl but now i shes old enough to hunt and bugs me to take her but i just cant afford any of the prices. i sure would like to be able to test this bow so i can pass on what ive learned about the outdoors to my daughter.
