New to bowhunting
I've hunted whitetails with a rifle for years now, but am looking to get into bowhunting. Don't have a whole lot of $$ to spend...looking to find a set up for around/under $200.
Anybody have any recommendations on entry level used bows to look for, where to look, etc?
Thanks!

WarEagle86, It is going to be tough finding a complete Bow setup for $200. I think if you try some bows at a proshop then see what you like. Then check out craigs list and ebay or your local classifieds. you might want to check out local archery ranges. You might find a deal. Good luck to you.

I understand that times are rough but only spending what your will to spend will only get you a older bow that's outdated and may not perform to your liking or cause you to get frustrated and give up. I've been to my local pro-shop several times and found 1-3yr old bows that were ready to hunt for $400-600.

Thanks for the replies.
Yeah I figured that would be the case; that $200 would be on the extreme low-end. I didn't want to sink a whole lot into it not knowing how I'll like it, but I may just have to bite the bullet and get something worth my while.
I'll head to my local spot and try out the Bear Charge. Anyone heard good things about the Parker Blazer?
Again, thanks for all the help!
