Im selling a Fred Bear Code - for 120. I have killed 2 8 points with it.. its 2 years old. Its a split limb design with the recurved limbs and looks very simular to one of the current Buckmaster bows -(recurved split limbs)

Its a smooth shootin bow............ I got an AR 34 now so no need to keep this one

1hntr,

You' ll get a lot more bow if you buy used, but it also requires more knowledge. You have to know your correct drawlength in most cases. It also helps to know bow values, since you will find everything from low end bows, to the most expensive. If you' re a beginner, you should take whatever you get, to a good bow shop and pay them to set it up properly for you.

Good luck in your search.

PSE has one I saw on their website called a deerhunter I believe. Looked like a good bow to start out with for adults. reasonable price on a package bow.

Straightarrow has some good advice for you. In my local pawn shops I often see High Country, Mathews, Martin, PSE, and other excellent bows going dirt cheap. They almost always are fully set up with sights, arrow rest, quiver, etc.

You do need to know something about what fits you. Take an experienced friend along to help make your selection. I usually see lots of good used bows showing up in pawn shops after the season is over and just before the Holidays.
Good luck.

I have a mathews feather max (28 inch draw) with sims string leeches, kisser button, string loop and sims limb savers on it that I would let go for $200.00. Nothing wrong with it. I bought a new hoyt this year and have sat it in the closet. Email me if interested. I can send pictures if you like. [email protected].
