Hi im thinking about getting a compond bow has anyone owned an ARMEX mirage if so could you give me some advice about the bow and othe entry level bows
I'd give it a miss. Looking at the pictures on Merlin's web site, it seems very much an eighties-style bow, suitable for finger shooting rather than release-aid shooting. Performance will be unimpressive, and you'd soon get frustrated. A decent used Hoyt compound for ?200-?300 would be a better option.
Hi,
My only experience with Armex compound bows is with the Armex Junior compound bow I bought for my grandaughter a couple of years ago.
It is a compound bow and does work but the quality you get with the big names is just not there. The paint is flaking off the riser, the threads in the riser for sight, longrod etc seem rough and the only DL adjustment you get is by adding or removing twists in the string.
If you only want the bow for a bit of fun then it will do the job but if you want it for serious shooting I would look for something better.
