[QUOTE="BIG_MIKE2005, post: 2061954, member: 3309"] Good post. I got mine from my cousin for free. He had it in his closet cause he bought a new bow. I took it to Bass Pro & had them check it out, measure draw, wax the string & inspect it, check the peep alignment & install a arrow rest. Then it was time for me to go sight it in & start shooting. I have under $100 invested in my bow not including the cheapo carbon arrows from walmart, a release & some field tips for practice. Was pretty cheap to get into. you can get some good scores on craigslist after bow season though for those interested. This was my first bow in years, I shot a old recurve as a child but I went compound this go round, the break-over of a compound makes it alot easier to hold if you need to wait for a shot once at full draw. I cant imagine tryin to hold the same length of time with a standard recurve, it would wear your fingers/arms out I'd think. [/QUOTE]
