Bow help?
« on: March 15, 2011, 12:35:20 PM »
I was wondering if anyone can give me info on this. I have this old bow. It is a PSE Phaser and I have had it for about 16 years and have never shot it. I got it used at the time so it is older. Basically is this worth anything in terms of trade or sell for either a gun or a newer bow? I don't know the draw length or weight either. Only thing I know is it is 39 3/4 inches center to center of cams.  Also is it worth it to restring and practice with it to learn before I decide I want to persue bow hunting.

Thanks Tony

Probably not worth much for trade in or resale.  $100 or so tops I would guess.  What about using it for bowfishing?

Sadly because of the leaps and bounds that have been made in bow technology older bows do not hold much value.
Even a 5 year old bow can be hard to sell.
Your bow may be worth $20-$50 to the right buyer :twocents:

For resale or trade really not worth anything, that is a pretty outdated bow, but could be fun just to fling arrows in the backyard or great for using it on carp in the canals.
Looks like it may have a really high draw weight, some grown men might not be able to draw it... :chuckle:

Maybe put it up on your garage wall or use it to bring someone new into archery.

Yeah thats what I thought.  I knew it wouldn't be much.
That would be a kick in the pants to go bow fishing though.

HAHAHAHA!!  That was to funny to watch. Do you remember the approx draw weight? I have no clue. I might just keep it like you said and restring it and use it in the back yard and learn with this one before I buy a decent one. Where are these canals you speak of?
