I think setting up a top shelf bow for under $1,000 can be done easily.
For example
Most Bowtechs around here are $650-$700
Rest $75
Sight $80
Quiver $15
Peep $8
Stabilizer $20
That is under $850 for midrange accessories........he would even have $150 to apply in upgrades if he wanted an accessory that was more pricey.
He sounds like this isn't his first bow so I am assuming he has a release, arrows, case, etc If he does not he will be right around a grand with my prices listed plus the other stuff he needs to start from scratch.
It can be done easily.
I AGREE 100%!!!! I had just over $500 in my Reflex Highlander, including arrows and BH's when I set it up, and if you already have arrows and BH's, then all you really need is REST, SIGHT, STAB., and QUIVER. Pretty easy to do Quiver and Stabilizer for $50-75, then a Vectrix in my local shop runs $690, add a $120 rest, and a $100 sight, plus tax, should be pretty easy to stay UNDER $1000!!!
