## Resource

Bow prices have gotten pretty wild over the last few years. Once you add a flagship bow, sight, rest, stabilizer, quiver, and everything else, it’s pretty easy to end up with $3,000+ hanging in your hand.But does spending that kind of money actually make you a better bowhunter?In this episode of Before the Echo, I break down what you're really getting when you spend big money on a compound bow, where I think premium equipment actually matters, and where the average deer hunter might be better off saving his money.At the end of the day, deer don't care what your bow costs.Let me know in the comments: What's the most you'd spend on a complete bow setup?🏹 BEFORE THE ECHO PARTNERSASIO GearShop ASIO GearUse code ECHO15Latitude OutdoorsShop Latitude OutdoorsUse code BTEHawke OpticsShop Hawke OpticsUse code BTEThanks for watching and supporting Before the Echo!#Bowhunting #CompoundBow #DeerHunting #BeforeTheEcho #PublicLandHunting
