Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Spyder makes a great bow for learning how to shoot and to start hunting, target shooting, or shoot 3D. The S4 model is designed for youngsters, while the single cam versions (VC, ST & RF) are designed for teens or small framed adults. Although this bow might need a few things added to make it quiet and dampen vibration, it is very easy to handle, lightweight and has a lot of performance built into this small package making it ideal for learning to shoot.

While the PSE Deer Hunter may not be the top quality bow that most of us want to shoot, it is a very good all-around bow, especially for a beginner looking to get into archery and not spend a lot of money. This rig is an accurate and forgiving bow that will serve its shooter well, whether a new archer just learning to shoot or someone who has been shooting for years, it can get the job done. This bow is especially great for the beginner because it can be adjusted to grow with the shooter be the only bow many people would ever need. Read full review...

  • Great starter bow, but an adult will outgrow it's ability quickly.
