Speaking of 2012 bows coming out another thing to look at is the bows people trade in.You may not want a used bow but some, actually a lot of guys trade in bows that are only a year or two old and get the newest models available.If you shop around you often pick up a bow that a year ago cost twice what they want for it and theyre generally already set up to shoot.Theres usually nothing wrong with these bows except the owner wanted a new one.Just something else to consider, again shoot them first and make sure you like them.
