I just wanted to add that a good late-model used bow (with a new custom string), is a far better choice then a new cheap bow. Very few people shoot a bow enough to cause any significant wear on the components. Those high end used bows drop in resale value much faster then what they should, and can be real bargins. Some people get a new bow every year or two. The one they get rid of, often isn't even "broken-in". The only thing you lose is the warranty and most high bows will never give you cause to need it. On the other hand, a cheap new bow, is more likey to break or wear quicker.
