gettin the itch for deer season..

SOO i wanna get my bow license this year..Ive been looking at bows for a while now when i go to cabelas and bass pro..All WAAAAY to expensive for me thou. I found one on craigslist for $225, guy claims he bought it for $1700.

Hoyt Ultratech bow. Comes with case and custom arrows.

Sound like A good first bow? Heres a pic of it

 

That sounds too good to be true.. Have you contacted the seller on that?? Hoyt makes a nice setup.

 

emailed him last night..So far no response.

 

If he payed $1700 for that bow he got raped, but it sounds like a good price for the bow with the case and looks like it has the sights and everything on it. Check into it but it looks like a good deal to me.

 

check the local pawn shops man. i got my pse nova at a pawn shop for $40, and set it up myself...............saved alotta $ and its a good shooting bow.

i do plan on buying my bear done deal or truth2 this year tho...............but for a first bow..........the "pawnshop pse" did pretty good.

 

Good deal man. Do yourself a favor and take that thing by your local shop and make sure everything is good on it.

Hey Will, go ahead and get the bow already! I'm still loving my Lights out btw.

 

man, im going to soon, but im getting my tires for the meet in april, and still dealing with my dad's estatre and friggin court, so i gotta see whats what after all this is taken care of. i will have a new bear this year tho man.

 

I hear you man. I'm just bustin your balls. I hope you get everything sorted out soon man.

 

well my dad gave me a good idea, and ill definately look into pawn shops, as we have a few of them around my area. Im still waiting on an email from this guy

 

well the guy emailed me back with a number and name. At least hes legit. Says the bow was 2 years old in Jan.

 

do like jolay said and have a local shop give it a once over, then go for it fireman! Sounds like a pretty good deal. It's alot for a first bow, but if you can wing the cash, go for it.

 

well ive got 200 in credit debt left..after next week, its all gonna be disposable income in my paycheck..hehhee

 

in that case,
1) pay off debt....
2) do like Will said and buy a cheapy beginner at the pawn (or Wills) and pay cash....something to cut yer teeth on.........
3) continue making original dept payment to yourself until cost of a new one is saved up.....
4) Go buy a complete NEW bow set-up.........
5) Keep first used bow and convert to a bowfishing rig.......


just my two cents..........

 

well see the only reason I want to get a new setup is because I dont really know anything about bow hunting, and alot of people set the bow up for ya if you buy it from them. Ive got a few places in mind Im gonna go check out this week(if time permits)


Im still gonna do the save jar thing thou. Ive been doing that for quite a while..One of those fancy Foldgers plastic with a handle jugs..haha

 

Ultratechs are smooth acurate bows! great for learning on

 

If you have any ?'s let me know! i'm not a pro but i know alot!

 

the only reason i went used for my first bow was because if something happened and the bow broke on me....i wasnt out alotta money. you can get a bow set up at a shop for round $30 or so.......not too bad, and learn to shoot and all on a used one, then get a new one and make it the primary bow. im gonna keep my pawnshop bow as a backup....just in case.

 

well i already know how to shoot..been doin it since i was little.

I just havent shot a bow in probably 10-15 years now. Still got my old bow on the wall, and its a sad sight seeing it covered in dust since i always liked shooting. Promised the ol lady if I get a new bow she can have the old one since she wants to get into shooting also.

 

ah....well, in that case.........get a new one. you may shoot a few times and be back to where you were when you quit shooting.

 

i may..i just dont have 4-600 for a BRAND new bow set up
