Looks like a great bow but you'll want to put on a better sight and a drop away arrow rest for better accuracy. Want to sell it??

I just bought it last wed I am gonna hunt deer with it this season

You will want to get those rubber whiskers out of that bottom cam before you shoot it. Might want to have the string replaced just to be sure. If it's the original string that could be a problem. I'm not sure all the fall away rests will work on that riser so you will want to be careful you don't get something that won't work.
It's slower and a little noisier than most of the bows today, but they shoot great! Should have no problem killing a deer with that bow!
Good luck and have fun!

That's the first bow I ever owned. I bought mine in 1989 with all the accessories including arrows for $100. Assuming you are new to archery, don't make the mistake I did my first season of not being intimately familiar with my bow and getting lots of practice at different ranges over the space of many months at the very least. For me, it resulted in a clean miss at a doe my first year when the first arrow flew under her body and the second (she was kind enough to stand there and give me another chance) deflected off a twig and flew over her back.
I never did take any other shots at animals with that bow and finally sold it in a garage sale with the case and accessories a few years ago for about $30.
