Just me but I would be looking at the used market in AT. You can pick up some great bows for a good price. Depends on what you want to draw and your DL. If it's not your draw length just pay attention if it's adjustable to your length or if it requires new draw mods of cam.

As an example here is a great deal on a 60lb elite with a 28.5dl. Bare bow $230. TYD.

A couple more elites. Loaded with good accessories.

One huge benefit of buying used is not only the price but you usually get way better accessories than a new bow package has. Especially if the previous owner replaced the strings. Stock strings suck and most new bow packages have shit accessories.

Like I said just pay attention to DL.

It was you, last year or maybe even the year before. 12 point maybe with some stickers.


Kinda funny. Largest buck that I have killed and the antlers are still laying in a bucket in the barn with a bunch of other racks. I got a couple of mounts on the wall that are about the same size. Next one that I get mounted will be something alot bigger like 150" or bigger.

I'll echo the Archery Talk. I was in the same situation as you last year. I ended up buying new Elite. The bow is great. But i paid way too much, considering i could get new old stock of my bow for 60% of what I paid. And there are so many used rigs that are in great shape that you'd be smart to look at
