2010 era Mathews like a Drenalin, DXT, Z7, or a Switchback. They are killers and can be had today for like $300-$400 bucks.

The only problem with a used bow is that there is no warranty. You could buy last years model on here for a better deal sure, but If the cam gets bent or limb starts to splinter, you’ll be footing the bill.

What about the hundreds of videos of all the Flagship bow companies dry firing bows for thousands of times. IMO you always buy a gently used flagship bow.

Of course! That’s always an option as well. My opinion is rooted in my time spent working in a pro shop.

A used bow off archery talk or Craigslist. Maybe someone you know. Can get a very well maintained bow or even a pretty recent year for an amazing deal, if you look hard enough. But anything is better then brand new when looking to stick with a budget
