As the title says, I’ve taken my first steps in learning another piece of equipment.
With this said, bows depreciate in value over time with some exceptions on brand. I’m not looking for a 2020 Hoyt but one that’s 3-4 yrs old fully loaded w/a 60-70 wt. My intent is to use it here in Texas for deer and hogs. However, elk, mule deer, and black bear are on the menu as far as animals I’d pursue later on in life. Price range $450-$500.
However, I’d like to hear everyone’s opinion or suggestions through their lessons learned in being a bow owner/hunter on what brands/models to avoid as well as the best bang for ones buck in buying a used bow. For ex: Is buying a 2018 Hoyt Carbon Defiant 30 money better spent vs. 2015 Hoyt Carbon Spyder ZT? What price should I expect?
Tuesday I’m going to a local bow shop to find out my dl. My intent is to sponge some knowledge off the older gentlemen (owner) to become more knowledgable as well.
Thanks in advance!
