RE: expense of bows
I bought my bow at the end of the year clearence sale. It was 40%off. It had the site, rest, and peep on it. The equipt was cheap but it worked. Slowly I have replaced the parts one by one and added a few things. My plan it to get good components and than then eventually buy a really nice bow but until then I have something I can shoot. I would shop around there is bound to be someplace that has last years bow still kicking around.
