I’m going to start the conversation with the disclaimer that I’m new to bow hunting so please excuse any stupid questions. Only rifle hunted until last year.
Due to limited funds, im looking for a used bow for my son. He just started college and the bow elk season out here works best for his school schedule.
When looking at a used bow for sale, is there any visual clues that I need to be looking at to know if it is still in good shape, or do I need to go to a bow shop and have them look at it? I’ve heard people talk about the limbs cracking or breaking.
Does it matter how old the bow is? I’m guessing that if they are taken care of that they’ll last forever just like rifles.
Diamond and Bear have what I’m assuming entry level complete bows in the $350-$450 range. Is it realistic to get a good used bow for less than that price?
