I have hunted rifle, shotgun, and crossbow but I want to get some more time in the field and I am looking to get my first real bow. In my teens I found a broken compound bow, "fixed" it and lost a bunch of arrows. I don't have much bow experience at all, but I have scoured the interweb to learn as much as I can. Right now I am debating either getting a older bow off ebay and fixing it up or just getting one of the "ready to shoot" packages from Bass Pro and letting them set it up right. It would be about $200 more for the new bow. The 3 new bows I am looking at are the Martin Sabre, Redhead Kronik, and the Bear Lights out. All are about $380 including sights, quiver, rest, and silencers.
I have seen some used Jennings bows for around $100-200 on ebay usually with accessories.
Need some input. Just hate to drop 4 bills on a bow and then suck.
You need to ask yourself, how serious are you going to be with it? The technology changes every year, so there's always some good deals on used bows. I'd decide what I wanted and then look for it used. No matter how complicated and accessorized they get, you can still kill a deer with a stick and a string. Like with a gun, it's the shooter that counts. This is an example of proper stance and draw.
