Another thing to keep in mind is that certain states have requirements for bowhunting setups, draw weight limits, cutting edge diameter, or other requirements. You want to make sure your setup meets these. Safety, draw lengths, arrow spine are all important to have checked out as well. I shoot a bow that's over ten years old and it gets the job done well. I started with an even older bow. A good, well kept bow can serve you for years. Have it looked at and go get 'em.
