Yes they are too high priced if you are buying the top end bow just to hunt some of the largest deer I have ever seen taken were taken with a yard sale bow.

There is nothing in the price of the bow that kills the game so go for what you can afford get a bow that fits and put decent acc's on it and practice and you will kill if there are no mistakes made and there are deer where you hunt.

Some of the high end bows today with all the whistles and bells as in a muzzy ZE rest a high dollar sight then a dozen good carbons and at least 1/2 dozen broadheads can cost upward of 900 to $1000.00 and when and if the time comes to sell or trade it in you may get 200 for it.

While on the other side of hunting for $1000.00 you can buy one of the best rifles on the market and outfit it with a 300.00 scope and if you take care of it in 10 years it will still sell for nearly the same.

And I say all this speaking from experence as I have been in archery since 1964 and love it. I have been a factory shooter and a staff shooter for a local dealer for several years. Buy the best you can and learn to shoot properly and you wil enjoy the sport a lot better.

Just my opinion..............
