can i get a used bow and have it still be very good are they trustable you know im a little scared of getting used stuff

i have a used bow i got at the archery shop one of the guys in there gets a new one every year and sells his old one it works great but id advise you to take a friend who knows a little about bows before getting a used bow you have to check the limbs and riser for defects cams and string can be replaced but the riser and limbs on a used bow may not be covered by a warranty

huntnma got her bow used and it's right up there with awesome...quietest bow ever...hope you get as lucky as she did.

used bows are like used cars, it depends on the mileage and year.
i have an older Hoyt that shootsaccurate all the time.

PT

i got mine used and to tell you the truth, i'll cry if anything ever happened to it.........it's going on year 3 and no problems, not a one......

I've bought a few used bows over the years. The one thing to keep in mind is that a used bow is often already registered by the original owner and most manufacturers do not allow the warranty to be transferred to a new person.

ok yea i cause i want the peep sight and the little loop thing were you hook your realese and all that stuff so i was thinking to stay under 400 i would have to go with a used one

I just sold a buddy my "used" Legacy...and he got a SWEET bow....better than new with custom strings/cables, top-of-the-line accessories,etc....and he got a GREAT deal!

Are used bows good...??? It depends on the bow! Was it any good to begin with? How old is it? How well was it cared for?

Buying a used bow is like buying a used car. You have to look it over and check it out before you lay out the money.

yeah seriously. i love my used bow.

when buying something used like that it helps to know the person who owned it or to have someone check it over who knows about bows.
