One of the most difficult things
is to buy fishing and hunting products that are not the highest quality, are less expensive, and still obtain the hunting objective.
I have a backup compound bow, I bought new for $100; have an inexpensive early fiber optics sight; a totally old fashioned hunter prong rest. How would I ever come close to convincing a newbie that that bow can still harvest deer. That it could ever harvest a deer in its existence. And I'm not going to tell you the bow is over 40 inches, axle to axle. Newbies would go stark raving mad on that fact alone.
Some folks are just better primed to buy those $1200 bows. Age about killed me on that price.
