    When do 2015 bows get marked down?

    I know the ATA is next week and 2016 will be announced. How soon will the 2015's get marked down?
    I have about $600 burning a hole in the pocket. Plus I'll get $200 for my old one.

    It has been so long since I bought a new bow I wouldn't have any idea.
    Good luck though.

    To get back on topic a little bit. When I am in the market for a new bow I just ask my local shop when they will be having their year end sale. If you have an good shops in your area I would just contact them to see if/when they have theirs. My local shop usually does theirs at the end of January or beginning of February.

    I haven't seen any advertised mark downs as of yet. But honestly, I don't think I'd ever buy new again. With so many guys trading every six months, or sometimes even more often (See maxpetros) I would just keep an eye on the AT classifieds. There are some amazing deals to be had there.

    Blessings........Pastorjim

    Use common sense and caution on the AT classifieds. Lots of scammers. If the deal is to good to be true it probably is. Also check the sellers feedback. Even if it doesn't seem to good to be true you still have to be careful. I have had one bad deal there where the seller did not ship the bow, but luckily got my money back. Others have not been so lucky. NEVER pay with the PayPal gift option, you have no recourse if they screw you. There are a lot of good sellers there, I am just saying use some common sense.

    I have bought and sold probably 25 to 30 bows on AT with out any issues. And within my circle of friends I would say that number is 10x that many.
    To say that there are lots of scammers on there vs any other place is load of crap. There is good and bad everywhere, including right here. Due diligence is order everyplace not just AT.

    If there is a better place buy or sell a used bow online I have yet to find it.
