Sometimes going with an older bow can be better option for your check book while your still figuring out the whole archery thing and if and when you decided you wanted to try hunting with it. They have all been killing animals for many years so just because its not the most "coolest" bow dosnt mean it wont do the job. Check out your local craigslist to. I see people selling off old hobbies shot a few times all the time there. But get to a archery shot and shoot some figure our what feels most natural to you. Personally I love shooting prime bows. They are amazing but they can get pricey. So I shoot older prime bows until the new ones fall in my price range. Best of Luck and let us know what you settle on!
