I'm guessing I'm the minority here, but I heavily factor in resale value when it comes to a hunting bow. I like a new hunting bow every year, not because I think something new will give me an advantage but because I like new toys and simply enjoy changing things up. Resale value compared to my initial cost is a large consideration for me personally, because honestly there is very little else out there in terms of features that seperates the top end hunting bows in a hunting situation.Every one of the bows out there by any of the top brand names will get it done every time when it comes to putting an arrow in a grapefruit size spot under hunting conditions.

Now for a competition bow resale value doesn't matter to me much. If I like the bow, I'm likely to keep it and NOT change things up. There are many other things that fall MUCH higher on the priority list of "must haves" on a competition bow that I need to have at just about any expense. The competition bow I'm using now is a 2005 model and honestly I don't see myself getting rid of it anytime soon. Depending on the results of a few others I plan to test drive this year it may not be my #1 selection for certain types of competition but I will not get rid of it.......it simply shoots too good and I have 100% confidence in it when it comes to hitting dime sized X's.
