1hntr, if you aren' t in a huge hurry, wait. Most manufacturers are getting ready to introduce their ' 04 bows. When they do, a bunch of people buy new and sell their " old" bow.

Some name brand used bows hold their value very well, and command a good price, but there are many many quality build bows that don' t, and are usually sold for a fraction of the new cost.

Get an idea what kind of specs you want in a bow, come up with a few brands/models that fit this bill then watch Ebay, archery talk classifieds, local shops, etc and find a bargain. For most bows you can get modules to adjust the draw length to fit you in case you find a deal on a shorter/longer draw bow.

Good Luck.

Along the same lines as Rangeball mentioned, you will likely find ' 03 models marked down at the beginning of the year when the ' 04' s start hitting the shelves. Most likely not as cheap as a good used bow, but another option to consider anyway.

If I remember correctly,I think Bass Pro Shops/Redhead, they were selling a Reflex bow with the cam.5 for $200. That is a great deal on a new cam.5 bow. I just figure that if a Reflex is good enough for Chuck Adams, it must be good enough for all of us.

Look for a used bow. Odds are you will get one of better quality, set up with accesories, and already shooting acurately for about that price. For example a three year old bow that new cost $500 will probably be in your price range. I sold my 4 year old Darton to a kid for $75. He got a great shooting bow and has already harvested two doe with it. I' m glad to help someone start out in archery, so I lowered my price to help. I' m sure there are many other archers in the same boat.

Probably not, but I have a new PSE Nova S75 with most of the " fixins" that I am about to put up on Ebay for $100. ;):) Plus, I am also about to sell my Sterner Duttera Rhino31 for $200 with, again, most of fixins.

Selling the Rhino? Hmmm - Selling the Rhino.[:o]

Ebay is a decent place to look, but that PSE that Frank has would get my $$$ if I was looking for a bow like that. He will have it set up right!:D

I have the same model bow that Handles sold, but I' m not selling mine. It shoots too good for an " obsolete, no-value, throw-away bow." ;););)

Good luck with your search.:D

I just bought my son a PSE Nova from Bass Pro Shop for $199.00. This includes the quiver, sight and arrow rest. Just remember, there are no cheap bows, just lousy shooters.
