there are a LOT of great deals on bows, traded in BOW are always CHEAP in most stores and shops
Cabela's and the bargain cave tends to have LOT in my area
BUT before you buy any bow, learn some basic's
like HOW to measure your draw length, where to look for damage on bows, cam's limbs risers and such
some guys are HARD on equipment and don't have an issue selling to a sucker that doesn't know any better!


you also DON"T need a HIGH end bow to kill deer, nor the latest and greatest gadgets

archery is all about placing a sharp blade into a vital, doesn't take a TON of speed or power to do so either when the shot is right
MY advice is look for bows with at least 7+ inches of brace length
there easier to shoot
all the CRAZE is FAST bows and SHORT brace lengths,ok MAYBE for seasoned shooters, but much harder to be consistent for newbie's
don't get a chip on your shoulder about needing HIGH poundage either
a 55 lb draw weight will kill a deer just fine and you will learn easier on it!
the key to archery is consistent, same grip every time, same knocking point every time and not torquing the bow
FORM< you want it the same every time
so go slow and practice all you can
best of luck to you
