Try Before You Buy

I shoot a 50# Frontier Longbow I got from Cabelas awhile back. It's a great entry level bow, but I'm ready to upgrade to a higher quality piece. I'm really interested in a Bear Au Sable longbow, a Bear Patriot, or a Martin Savannah.

My problem is this: Absolutely no stores within a 50 mile radius of me keep any of these bows in-stock (I know because I called all the vendors listed on the Company websites). I am really resistant to dropping $500-600 on a bow I've never touched. Is there anyone within an hour of Minneapolis who owns one of these bows and is willing to meet at a range some day and let me try a few shots?

Reviews are appreciated too but honestly nothing will convince me other than hands on experience.

black widow will send you one to try.

Try the Footed Shaft! There located in Rochester. Terry's got a bunch of bows you can try before you buy! Hope this helps, call him and he will tell you what he has in stock! Good Luck!

I know it was a long time ago for this post, but if you haven't purchased a different bow yet and can wait till June, the Coon Rapid's Shoot would be a good place to see and try out some bows. Always some bowyers and other vendors with new and used bows. If you haven't gone, The Footed Shaft was a great suggestion, as they always have a bunch of used and new bows.
