Wanting to get back into bow hunting. Would you buy a new set up or find a nice used compound? If you went the used route where would you look? Also what bow shop do y’all recommend in the Bham area?
Thanks,
NT

I would buy from an individual. I've had friends trying to almost give away old bows. My BIL is giving me his PSE for my son. Lots of people out there that have older bows that have barely been shot. Be careful though, you can buy a new bow for the cost of accessories in building one if its bare.

Good luck

Archery talk will have tons of year old bows heavily discounted.

Sad part to buying used is ya better hope the seller's honest and hasn't dry fired the bow. When I buy, I go new so I have a warranty. That's just me. I've seen several used I've considered buying though.

Good start to buying used. At least you can test the bow out before buying.

I’d buy a flagship model that’s a few years old off eBay. They will have them brand new and that is what I did.

First thing I would do is go is go to a shop and shoot some bows and get a feel as to what your looking for. A elite feels different from Hoyt or pse or elite or Matthews or new breed or anything else. you need what bows feel good to you and while your at figure out what you need as far as draw length and poundage and them start looking for a good used rig you can find last year's models for a good deal if you look around

Fixing to be all kinds of used, less than a year old bows for sale. Lot people buy a new one every year.

If you’re interested, I’ve got a High Country all carbon bow I’ll let go for $150. All it needs is arrows.

Regarding your question about archery shops around B'ham; pickings are slim..
Go see Paul Lay up at Pat's Archery and Outdoors in Jasper.
Also Allen Conner at Mountainboro Outfitters.

Doesn't really matter if its new or used as long as it fits you. Makes buying used a little tricky
