I am new to compound archery. During COVID many of the gun clubs set up outdoor archery ranges to keep members (indoor ranges were closed) so I bought a used Blackout SS (made by Bowtech/Diamond). I upgraded the sight (React Pro 5 pin) and the rest QED and I really enjoy shooting it.
I too was looking at new bows but the cost is insane - $2,500 for a flagship bow!!?? That can buy a really nice gun.
