New-to-me Bow, did I get ripped off?
I recently purchased a Hoyt Rebel (not sure on the year) for $100. The guy I got it from already had a peep sight on it and a few other things. Was this a good deal or not? I won't be hunting with it for atleast 2 years. I'd llike to buy a few things to upgrade it during that time and would like to know if it is even worth it or should I buy a new bow?

Is it an accurate bow? It can be. Will that bow kill a deer? Certainly. Would you regret saving up and getting a newer bow, (used even) from a place that can help you with setup, tuning etc.? Probably not.

Hey man. That is my exact old bow. I still have it and shoot it ocasionally. To answer your question, though, that is a fair price for the bow. After your get it tuned and with practice, you'll be breaking nocks before you know it! I could go pick mine up and shoot a 3" group right now (if it wasn't night) 
Good luck with it man! Go get a big one!

Get it tuned and make sure it is done by someone reputable. They should lube the cams and the limb pockets. It also maybe a good idea to restring the bow and throw on some new string silencers. It depends on how old the stuff that is on there now is. Good Luck!
