When you buy a New one what do you do with the old one?

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 like the idea of having two setups just for reassurance.

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

I usually keep a backup. Because stuff can happen just before or during the season.
