What is a good entry level bow that wont break the bank?

I hunted my first two seasons with a diamond edge xt. You can get a ready to hunt package with arrows and release for well under $500. You’ll probably want to upgrade the sight pretty quickly, but it’ll kill deer (if that’s what you’re after).

Yes, lots of target practice and then deer. Thank you. I will look into that.

All of them are fine if they’ve got good strings. I’ve yet to encounter a budget bow with what I’d call good strings. All of them suck with strings that constantly stretch. Whatever you buy, I’d factor in another 150-200 for a good set of strings.

Go to Archery talk, find a used one in your price range. Lots of good bows for sale.

I would just go for a couple year old flagship model than a new cheaper model. They depreciate quickly.

I'd recommend a leftover new or unregistered Prime bow if you're looking to save money. A used Prime Revex is leftover new at $700 and comes with FREE strings every 2 years for LIFE to the original owner. 4 years later you'll have a flagship bow but paid budget price.

Dont buy someone elses problem prime makes a decent mid range bow or my personal favorite the Darton consequence. Simple, forgiving, and super well priced without the worry of a used rig.

Bear Alaskan is a good choice. Also Darrin is another good choice
