Bows don’t hold their value well at all. Have you considered a nice used one? You can find a lightly used high-end model for much less than a new entry level 2nd tier bow. Lots of guys spend big bucks on a fancy new high dollar bow and then shoot it a few times a year, carry it in the woods for a few hunts and then move to a crossbow or next year’s model. You can also find brand new ones from last year or the year before from dealers on some of the forums like ArcheryTalk. Those often go for a fraction of what this year’s model is selling for.
Absolutely. I have purchased a Bowtech bow and a Scorpyd crossbow from folks there.MAK
Do they have sales ads on archery talk? I buy used guns but wasn’t sure if I would lose out on technology by buying used.
I doubt you are going to miss out on much regarding technological advances if you only go 2-5 years old. Probably could go older than that but I’m not a bow expert. Now if you are looking for a 40 year old Bear Whitetail Hunter then you could probably pick a “package” up here for about $400
but then you may lose a few of the latest advances.
It is measured from the string to the back of the grip. Basically the arrow will stay on the string longer which in turn makes the arrow fly faster. Speed = kinetic energy, but less brace heoght and a shorter ata makes for a less forgiving and harder to shoot bow. Also look into shooting a heavier arrow, you will have more momentum which will give you more penetration .

^^Go to Backwoods Bowstrings and buy the PSE. You are wasting your time if you try to save $40 trying to buy another off the internet. I've had my bow screwed up at another "bow shop" and Backwoods fixed it for me better than new. I'm a customer for life.
