Any bow can get the job done as long as its legal weight. It all falls down to wether the operator cando there part.

 :yeah:, exactly. If the natives could kill buffalo with home made bows that bow will definitley do the job as long as the shooter is qualified. For the price as long as its in good working order, i would get it!
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

P.s. Make sure to take it to a good shop and have it tuned.

The Browning Fusion that I am familiar with only had 3" of adjustment and 15# of weight adjustment.  Maybe there was a newer model I am not familiar with :dunno:  But, I would make sure it's going to fit you!  Have you been to an archery shop and found out what your draw length and manageable draw weight is?

Will this bow get the job done if it fits you? = Absolutely! 
Will you be happy with this purchase? = I'm not so sure!  It is an easy bow to shoot, but it is a loud bow, has a lot of hand shock and a five year old can almost run faster than the arrows it shoots. 
Is this a good buy? = I think it would depend on the accessories that come with it, whether it fits you well and whether it has been taken care of properly.  With any used bow of that age you always take a gamble. 

Good luck!  Hope whatever you get does indeed get you that buck :tup:
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
