Look on Craig's List in your area, I know there are 3 or 4 listed in my area right now.

If you're still looking for a bow, I have a LH Fred Bear Trek with 29" draw length and 60lb. weight. I am selling it with a drop down arrow rest, 3 pin fiber optic sight, quiver, and 7 arrows (3 carbon and 4 aluminum) for $250.00. If you have any interest, email me at [email protected].

being a lefty trying to get into the sport makes things kinda tough. Most shops have a very limited selection, as you already know......... My advise would be to shoot all models they have and decide which one feels the best.

Visit several dealers, don't be afraid to go to the box store either. Yeah, the tech may be a fool, but they should have a few bows for you to try out. And believe it or not, some of the techs are very good.

You could shoot a few of the right handed bows that you are interested in and see if they feel good that way. If they feel good in your wrong side, they would probably feel even better on your correct side. Just a thought.

i agree with cartman. Try as many as possible from different stores and then you may see if you can find the one that you like on craigslist. Once again just an opinion

Not to push another site but Archery Talk has a good classified section. I've bought a lot of things on there.
