Title: Good Older Used Bow reccomendations
Post by: dfarley33 on September 07, 2011, 11:08:34 AM: I am wanting to get my first bow, and was wondering if there was some models and brands of older used ones you all would feel good recommending. Just do not have the money to buy a new one, and have read numerous articles that say you can find a good used one for around 100. Advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Dave

They tend to shoot slow and not group awsome but it is an OK way to get started. I would just find some one you know that knows bows to look at it to make sure its in ok condition... There are more package deals out there these days for new bows that are around $300... And will be easier to shoot... :twocents:
