mauser here is that old meddling geezer Taz butting in again to give his opinion!!! LOL

The best advice I have seen here if you are short on cash is to take it to a bow shop, explain to them you are strapped for cash, but would like to see how much it would cost to bring that bow up to it's potential.

I killed my first this year with a bow 20 years old, Bear Black Bear, 65 pounds. No stabilizer, the original pin sights, I yanked 3 of the 4 pins out, set the one raminder at 20 yards and practiced, the bow still shoots great, but I will confess I am going to get a new bow since I got my first bowkill.

If you are strapped for cash and are saving money for a truck to allow you to hunt on your own, as long as the bow shop can set you up right,fix up the old one, a whole lot better to have a used bow that shoots well and a truck, than to blow a lot of money on a new one and not get the truck. Oh yea and by the way, I can assure you, if you practice enough with the old bow to get good, when you have the money for a new bow, you will really appreciate it and be a better shooter.
