Shot my first ever deer with a bow last two falls ago with an old Darton 400mx (14 years old I believe) that I bought at a yard sale for 10 bucks while my PSE was in the shop getting new limbs. I have no idea what it' s draw weight is and have no idea if it was tuned or not. I put maybe 15 arrows through it after a I bought it and it was shooting fist size groups at 20 yards with the three arrows that came with it. I put on a steelhead 100 and buried it 6 inches in the ground after a full pass through. My definition of an outdated bow is anything pre-1995.
