You could get $350 bare bow for your Patriot if it is indeed a 2003 in VGC. Keep your accessories and put them on the new rig. You are only losing $200 - $250 then.
There are full rigs with good accessories on Ebay for $400-$450 right now. I was hoping I could get $400 for my bare bow........I paid $650 for it 2 years ago and it looks and shoots no different today.
For the amount of enjoyment your bow brings you that is a very small price to pay IMO.
It's not the money........it's feeling like I paid $1,000 for something that depreciates by 1/3 the minute I walk out the door.
As MO_Bow mentioned I have owned at one time or another over the past 2 years 20 some odd bows. Buy smart and sell smart and you don't take a big hit.
Wow.
I just sold my 04 Patriot SC for $600 for the setup. So, I lost $400 dollars or so. Thats less than $40 a month for a whole years use. I got much more than $40 enjoyment out of it per month.
Yea, you lost $400 but now you have no bow...........Buy a new Bowtech to replace it and you are out another $1,200.
So losing $500 you spent less than $20.83 a month to shoot that bow over the past two years. Thats a bargin if you ask me
Like I said above.......if I sell it I have no bow.......I would be out $500 and then have to cough up $1,200 for a new rig. That's a big hit when I already have a sweet rig in my hands.
