RE: Need help buying a bow
$240-$340 for a used, bare bones bow, does not sound like a deal to me. Price some new ones from your local sproting goods store. They generally have all accessories on them. Excluding maybe a release and arrows, but you can usually talk them into a deal on these items too, with bow purchase. So I am just echoing the others with don't limit your options.
CHeck ebay and other auction sites.
