Used Bow
Question:
Ken, The price sounds a little high for such an old bow. Check Ebay. They have used bows on there all the time. I bought a left-handed PSE Thunderflight wth sights, rest, quiver, 6 arrows for $75.

Arch, Yes, it does fit. I have a 28.5 inch draw and it is set for that. Thanks for the response. -Ken Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

I am looking at buying my first compound bow. I have located a 7 year old High Country Excalibur bow that appears to me to be in excellent condition. I don’t know how to evaluate the asking price. The owner is asking $225 for the bow, rest, quiver, sight, and 8 carbon arrows. It is in exactly the same configuration that the previous owner used to take a number of deer and a couple of elk. Is this a reasonable amount of money to ask for this age and model of bow? BTW, I am taking the bow to a shop this evening to get a professional to look at it first hand. Since they have a product to sell, I thought I would ask the newsgroup for advice first. Thanks, -Ken Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Ken, The most important thing is does the bow fit you or can it be adjusted to fit you? If it does not and cannot be made to fit you, it’s no deal even if it is free. (Well, you could sell it to someone else then, but it still wont do you much good for hunting) Arch – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I am looking at buying my first compound bow.
