    Bear Cruzer G2 you could get one at a bow shop 400$ brand new out the door. And has everything on it you’d need to hunt. Btw saw people recommended you get expandable broadheads don’t do that. I’d go with a cut on contact broadhead (Fixed blade). I use Qad Exodus broadheads very very good broadheads you can get a three pack for 40 bucks. Best penetrating broadhead I’ve used for the small size of them. Killed 5 deer last year all pass through two of the shots were quartering to me and didn’t have to worry about putting the arrow right in the shoulder. I would never have that confidence with any expandable.

    Used is the way to go! As long as you inspect it and make sure there aren't any defects, you can get a killer bow for a great price.

    About to list a loaded Mathews Z3 for sale for $400, for example.

    Most any new bow in that price range will kill deer . diamond, bear, mission..even the cabelas or bass pro brands will do. However, the deeper you get into bowhunting there is no substitute for bows like pse, bowtech, mathews, hoyt, elite to name a few. If you decide bowhunting is your passion then I would look at these brands used or new.

    I say go to a bow shop and buy a nice used bow. Like many have said, a used bow is likely to already have the accessories on it.
