Used Bows can be found for a decent price....just wait til You try and sell a used one and see how the value will drop,worse that a rusty old car or truck.Still it depends on how well the Owner treated it and used it if it is worth a little extra money for a nicer Compound Bow?Lots of Hunters are buying a new Bow each year or 2 because they keep improving and changing them so much each year...if You find a used Bow make sure You can have it checked out or buy it from a good reputable Archery Shop that can check it over real good or replace the string if needed and adjust it to fit You...don't buy a Bow that can not be adjusted/fitted to Your Size.

You also have to decide if You'll shot carbon arrows,then You have buy some that a rated for the amount of pounds Your Bow is set at.....if You Bow draw weight is set at 50 lbs You'll need an arrow in the 50/60 range,if its set up to 70lbs then it will need one rated up to 70lbs or more....don't shoot an arrow rated at 40-50 or 60 lbs in a Bow turned up to 70lbs draw weight...it could very well shatter and injure or kill You...and absolutely Don't shot a wooden arrow either.Not sure You know this but I figured I better mention it for Safety reasons!

I did the very same You planning on doing...I had Bow Hunted a few times many years ago and decided to get back into Bow Hunting,I bought a used Bow and Hunted for 1 season of Archery Hunting and fell back in love with the sport...the older Bow was awfully slow and bulky but still I desired to go more and more and ended up buying a nice new Bow.

My Daughter decided She would like to shoot a Bow so I bought her a cheap Yard Sale Bow and let Her plink a few arrows in the back yard,now She's few years older and I ended up taking Her to the local Archery Shop to try out and shoot a few Bows and ended up buying her a brand new Mission "Craze" Bow (still in Lay Away).Its a great shooting Bow and it can be adjusted to fit Her draw length up to 30 inches and it can be adjusted to fit me also and the draw weight can go from a low 17 pounds up to 70lbs with 80 % let-off and its only a short 28 inches from axle to axle so it will be easier to shoot out of a blind or tree stand.This Bow is very nice and made by Matthews,price was $299.00 plus tax as a bare Bow that I will probably set up with a whisker bisquit arrow rest and the sight of Her choice and a quiver then I can add other accessories/options as I have the extra money so take into consideration when buying a new Bow...all the added options can add up to cost more over time unless You buy a Packaged Bow as mentioned earlier.
