Buying a used bow online can be a great way to save money, but it also comes with some risks. In this article, we will discuss some tips, advice, and warning signs to help you make an informed decision when purchasing a used bow online.
Tips:
1. Find a bow that fits your specifications: Look for a bow that meets your requirements in terms of poundage and draw length.
2. Request additional photos: Ask the seller for more photos of the bow, especially of the cams and limbs. Check for any signs of damage or wear and tear.
3. Consider adjustability: Look for a bow that has some adjustability, such as a rotating draw length module, to accommodate different shooting preferences.
4. Replace the strings and cables: When buying a used bow, it's a good idea to plan on replacing the strings and cables to ensure safety and performance.
5. Check the seller's reputation: Look for sellers with a high satisfaction rating and transaction history on online classifieds, such as Archery Talk or Facebook groups.
Advice:
1. Be cautious of buying drawing-specific cams: Unless you're certain of your draw length, avoid buying a bow with drawing-specific cams as it can be expensive to replace them.
2. Look for a bow completely set up: Consider purchasing a bow that is already set up with everything ready to shoot, especially if you're a beginner.
Warning signs:
1. Damage to the limbs: Look for signs of deep scratches, flaking of the carbon, or gouges on the limbs. Damaged limbs can be costly to replace and compromise safety.
2. Sellers with a low satisfaction rating: Avoid buying from sellers with a low satisfaction rating or no transaction history, unless you can meet them in person.
Buying a used bow online can be a great way to save money, but it's important to do your research and make an informed decision. By following these tips and advice, and watching out for warning signs, you can find a used bow that meets your needs and budget while ensuring safety and performance.

Stan JetBlack Hinge Release Aid Review

Benefits:
- Using the trainer lock pin can help with timing and prevent accidents.

Demolition Ranch vs. ArcheryTalk (Gun vs. Bow)
In this article, we will be discussing an archery versus gun accuracy competition between Lucas Kooning from archery tokOM and Matt from demolition ranch. The competition will involve shooting at different distances and targets to see who has better accuracy.
Competition:
Lucas Kooning will be shooting a fully kitted out target rig and an iron sighted 44 Magnum to make it even. The competition will start at 20 yards shooting a red and Delicious apple. They will then move to 50 yards shooting small watermelons, and it will be windy. At 70 yards, they will shoot at a large watermelon, and things will start to get squirrely. Finally, at 100 yards, Lucas will give three shots, and Matt will have the same courtesy. If Lucas doesn't make it, and Matt wins, he wins the competition.
The competition didn't really prove anything except that Matt could beat Lucas with an iron sighted gun. However, it was a fun and exciting competition, and they both learned a lot from each other. In the end, it's not about who wins or loses, but about the experience and the fun they had.

Equipment on my Bow:

Features of My Bow:
