    I got this in a trade. Went to see if it can be set to my draw and I would have to buy a new cam (which I don't know where to find one for this bow) SO wanting to sell this and buy a new bow (actually my first compound). What do y'all think I can get out of this?

    Just doing a quick search it appears at most they are going for $100-$130 if you can find a buyer. Looks like they were having a hard time selling them.

    Ya, I was thinking it would be a hard sell and then read his post. If I were you.... since it's your first bow. Go to your local archery pro shop and have it fixed and set up for you. Learn on it and get your first kill with it. I bet it wouldn't take much to fix it up at all. Then next year or the year after go out and buy a new bow of your choice.

    If u are going to buy a new one next year i wouldnt waste my money on putting money into the older one. By the time you take the bow to a pro shop get a new cam, get talked into strings, cables ect. You could buy a newer bow that you were going to buy anyways. If u can shoot it and shoot it decently i would keep it as a backup as it doesnt look like a bad bow. Trust me i had my bow blowup on me a few days heading to Wyoming this year and a spare bow would of been handy.

    Draw length is 26. I'm not putting anything into this bow going to sell it. Might have a person or two lined up for $300 which I thought would be great on my end haha. I don't need it for a backup I have a crossbow (which I may sell as well).

    Might have someone willing to buy it for $300? Give them a fake name and phone number, grab the money and run! Just hope they never find you!
