Looking for a starter bow for target shooting that's under $100 - Advice?

[ADAMS]

I last shot a bow about 30 years ago and am looking for a cheap bow that I can do some target shooting with.  I'm not looking to drop more than $100. 

Any advice on decent bows or bows I should stay away from?  My son has a Martin 50" that Wholesale Sports had for $25.

My two cents is that the $100 budget is pretty thin for anything target related.  I think you'd be happier borrowing a friend's old bow for a while to decide if you like it or not.  If you do enjoy shooting a bow well enough to budget in a purchase, then you'd be $100 ahead.  You can be a top shooter with the lower end of the new bows in the $400 price range, and you can get a used top-end one from about 3 years ago for about the same price.  Practice and learning is what brings out the enjoyment of it, and I think the $100 purchase now would be regretted when you decide that you really do like it and want to jump in.
