Buying a Used Bow Online: Tips, Advice and Warning Signs

Күн бұрын

New flagship hunting and target bows are expensive, so a lot of buyers look to online classifieds to find deals on previously enjoyed archery equipment.
While you can find some incredible deals in places like the ArcheryTalk.com classifieds, you need to know exactly what you need out of a bow and know what to look for before giving anybody your hard-earned money.
I have purchased a lot of secondhand archery equipment and bows from the classifieds and thought I'd share a little of what I've learned with you.

Keep them coming. Great video as always. I am at a point in my life where I like to buy a new one every year. I have sold 3 on AT over the last 4 years. What I have found is that many buyers forget to leave feedback. This could potentially hurt a seller like me.

Thanks. The one thing I forgot to mention was not to pay via Friends and Family on PayPal. Better to add on another 3% so you are protected.

Thank you Mr. Lucas, great help. I've got an great NXT 31 but my grouping is "not so great" LoL. I really like the new citation but can't afford it. Only reason I got the NXT was the stimulus check. Now however I might find an supra focus EM thanks to you. Also I'm a target shooter and not a hunter. Thanks again🏹🤠👍

If you are a target shooter, you would definitely be better off with the Suptra Focus. Even the older Supra models are excellent shooters and you can find some incredible deals on those if you are comfortable with buying used.

I am looking at a recurve bow used from a private seller. They don't know the brand name of the bow. It's 25 pounds traditional looking bow. It looks like a basic bow. How much would you pay for what the seller describes as a beginner bow.

*PLEASE HELP* I’m somewhat new to hunting with a bow... I have all of my attachments that I prefer on a bow BUT I’m looking for a great hunting compound bow... I mostly hunt wild pigs, deer, and elk... I am completely lost because there are so many choices *Needs to be* •mostly quiet on the draw •reliable •cost doesn’t really matter because I don’t mind saving up for the perfect bow •my draw length is around 28inches (not sure if that helps) •light but strong (ANY answer is better than no answer)

D. Stokes My favorite bow last year was the Mathews Vertix - it just fit me right. But it’s not the lightest bow around. For a newer archer, I’d look carefully at the PSE lineup. Not only do you have huge draw length adjustability, but there are three different let off settings. If you want super light, one of PSE’s Carbon bows would be great. The new Bowtech Revolt is another I would consider...mostly because you can tune without a bow press.
