I bought a old Golden Eagle from a friend several years back. I could never get the bow to shoot consistant. Come to find out, I went to a pro shop to see what was wrong with the bow. After explaining I had an antique, he advised me that the bow did not even fit me correctly. The drawwas too long, and it was not tuned properly. I learned a good lesson, and went back to the pro shop and bought a bow that was custom made for me. I could not believehowmuch it made a difference on consistancy. Go to a Pro shop.It will save you money.
