Good bow for it's time.
The Sniper was a good bow for it's time ('91-93 ?). Not sure the exact years, but that's close. It was High Country's conservative bow, maybe 285-290 IBO in today's rating system. They had the Sniper, the Safari, and the Supreme, which was the fastest of the 3. Sniper had a very smooth draw, and was quiet for a bow back then. No reason it can't still do the job now, and the string/cables are all synthetic, unlike many of the bows back then. High Country was in the top 2 makes, along with Hoyt at the time. The riser is cast aluminum, IIRC. Value? Most of those old bows go for under $100 on ebay. Not that it can't do the job, just very low demand for them now. Hope that helps.
