    I've recently purchased a bow off this forum a little skeptical and nervous but after meeting the fella and realizing he has the app for the same reason I do that he loves the hunt he loves the sport and wants people to be honest with him as I want people to be honest with me. It turned it to be a great experience and I purchased a 2016 bear escape in the bag in the box for 450 bucks!!! A bow I could never afford at full price, but am able to have now thanks to a honest caring lover of the sport like me. This forum app has a lot to offer if you take the time to look threw it!!

    Generally you will find that most guys that are trying to sell things online are pretty honest. I'd like to think that is because we're hunters and outdoorsman and as a group we're pretty honest. You will run into those who give all of us a bad name but fortunately they are few and far between. I'm glad you found a good deal for yourself.

    Blessings..........Pastorjim

    I wouldn't have any issue buying or selling a bow or most anything on this forum, or for that matter a couple of others like AT, Rokslide, LL and few others. For the most part all my experiences have been good and I bought and sold 100's of items. I have also met a few guys from here, converse with few very regularly and they are top notch individuals and I believe they are fairly indicative of who you will deal with on here.

    I'd rather deal on a forum than Craigslist. I hate Craigslist people.
    Sweet looking bow, I just picked up a BR33 . The new bears are shooters for sure.

    Congratulations on your new "member of the family."

    I too have had good luck with people from the forums.
    Really enjoy meeting and getting together with guys from here and other places.
    Good bunch of guys.

    I wish bowhunting.com had a feedback for buyer & seller. this way you would know what type of person the buyer/seller is.

    I would buy from here then.
