I’d love a backup bow but it hasn’t been in the cards yet. I get the allure of the latest greatest (im shooting last years bowtech) but unless you are wanting a significant change in ata etc I feel like gains have been fairly marginal, bows are pretty damn good. Not that they’re not a bit better or in the lifts case lighter. If I were to make a change on a bow that new it would be to a diff brand that I wanted to try instead of the newest model of the same bow more or less.

Also sell on fb groups, there are likely some close to you. I sold a v3 27 a while back and got what I paid for it

I’ve kept bows as a back up in the past only once needed it. The last few times I’ve traded in both my old bows towards the new one the shop I go to gives me a more than fair price considering they list the bow and ship it it has worked out well for me.

I’d keep it for your main bow and use the new bow money to setup your own shop. I took my time and slowly saved up for a press, saw, draw board, and vise. Quality ones. Then watched Nock On’s YouTube series on setting up a new bow. It took me 3 hours to do the first time, but it was so nice knowing it was done just the way I wanted. Then save up for a new bow and keep the old as a backup

keep one as a trainer??

I'll probably buy a new bow in 5 or 6 years, and get a set of 50# limbs for the old bow so I can shoot super light arrows and the new bow will be like a 65# bow
