ok i want to get into bowhunting and am looking for a decent bow but dont have a lot of money to spend. i got about 250$ and one of my buddies said he is selling a golden eagle bow or something and i was just wondering if that is a decent bow or not its got a decent rest and sights and a new string. or is it a better idea juss to buy a brand new bow from a store?

thanx for the help

Golden Eagle made some very fine bows. Ask your buddy if he' ll accompany you, with the bow, to a pro shop to see if the bow fits you and your style properly. Unless, that is, that your buddy is a very experienced archer and not just trying to get rid of an old bow.

If your buddy wants $250 for the golden eagle I would say no way!!! You can get some pretty good bows for around $300 new. I just looked in the cabelas archery cat. and counted 13 bows packages under $300. I also saw in the Dick' s flyer they had the Martin tracer mag combo for $299. I think that any of them would do you just right for a starter bow. The stuff that come with it isn' t " top of the line" but you can change your acessories around untill you find what you like and shoot best. But in the mean time the equipment that comes already on it would serve you just fine. You would only have to take it to a pro shop and have them set your draw length and such, then you would be in buisness. Good luck!!
