Welcome to a new way of life lol. Archery is actually life changing for a lot of us. It’s a healthy sport to obsess over, and has many physical and mental health strengthening attributes that you wouldn’t even think of. I highly recommend delving in and hopefully it takes hold for you.
That said, Norm nailed it. There’s nothing wrong with purchasing used equipment, but have it looked at FIRST by someone who has experience with archery equipment. They guys at Jimbows, if you’re close to them, will certainly not let you down. Have the potential seller meet you at a range/pro shop and have them there while you have the bow assessed. There’s several potential safety concerns that come with purchasing used archery equipment. Also, with older equipment, the bows may not be as forgiving and adjustable as the newer ones, meaning you may end up with a bow that does not fit you and will not be able to be fit to you. This would ruin your first archery moments and could even hurt you.
Hope this helps!
