In all the research I’ve done in the last 5 years, there’s not much argument for buying a new bow other than piece of mind and warranty, although great bow companies like APA will usually stand behind their products for years and year. The price tag on new bows does not reflect much of any changes in technology and manufacturing. You’re paying for the hype of a new bow. I’ve bought many used bows over the years, and I have never been let down. Accessories are what make or break a ready to shoot package bow, so that’s where you either make or lose money. The bows usually last for decades, and if taken care of properly, should all be shooters.
