Tox if you can pick up a used Bear Montana for a hundred bucks you will have a good longbow for the bucks. I have shot alot of longbows of different types and cost and I am impressed with the way that bow handles and am seriously thinking of buying one for bow fishing if I find one. While your there at the Expo go shoot all the new longbows first to find what you like than look around for someone carrying a used one and ask them if it is for sale. Try it out first and look for damage like warps or cracks befor you buy. I have got several good buys on used longbows myself without getting ripped off. Remember people trying to sell bows more than likely are trying to buy a new bow and will tend to be more negotiable (they need the money)which is in your favor. Last year Saturday was more crowded than Sunday. Chessbum
