          It’s really best to test a bow out before you buy it. I think 3 Rivers lets you test it out, as do many of the custom guys.

          I’m sure some folks will chime in here saying how great the 3R bow is. So if that bow speaks to you, try it out. If it doesn’t work for you, it will cost you just the shipping.

            If you’re even remotely close, you should try to get to Kalamazoo, Michigan for the expo Jan. 29-30. You’ll have LOTS of bows to try out.

                Better believe it. I plan on going Friday and Saturday. Saturday’s for certain.

                  I made the trip to 3 Rivers all the way from Georgia and did try out the bows.
                  I spent 3 hours shooting everything they had and ended up buying a Woodland Long bow.
                  The staff was great help and really bent over backwards to help me.
