I've got a friend of the family who is offering me a halon 32, 70# draw, spot hogg fast eddie one pin sight, with sight light. shot only maybe 20 times. Never seen the woods. Is $1,100 a good deal?

Is anything else included and is it the correct draw length for you? You can by the bow brand new for $899 plus tax from a bigger dealer. The sight will run you about $240 new. If you have to purchase mods to change the draw length, that’ll be $30. The only way I’d go $1100 for it is if it had a good stabilizer, quiver (Mathews), a good rest (QAD) and the correct draw mods. In other words it’s not a smoking deal. If it’s been registered in his name, you will not have a warranty on it.

It’s a pretty good deal with all of those accessories.

I think you could find something cheaper but with all that included it seems about right.

That’s about $200 more than a “good” deal imo. You can find setup halon 32s for less than $1000 left and right.

I'd price the accessories, go to AT and search the bows. The positive is that you know the owner...

Nope. Hoyt bows come exclusively with a case of Zimas and hearing protection. Bowtechs come with a roll of duct tape, some bailing wire and safety googles. laugh

I dont think the new bowtech limbs are an issue. Hope my prodigy don't explode, too sweet a shooter. I guess the positive of that would be I'd get a new set of Limbs LOL I shot Matthews I just haven't cared for the feel of them. But I know my buddy Switchback is badass

And pse you must shoot in a batting cage to avoid the bow hitting a bystander when it flies out of your hand

Hit better groups with PSE at 40 than you any day. Don’t put PSE down. For the price tag, it’s a good bow. I decided to not spend the $ on the Mathews and going to set up a nice rifle for about $300 more than the bow.

If you're so amazing with pse why switch? You literally just talked about being able to set up a rifle for slightly more than a Mathews. Go set up that rifle.

I don't care for their lower end stuff, brute, stinger, etc.The evolve and bow madness line are both good. Yeesh. I prefer Elite and Mathews.
