    Me personally, I think it is a bad deal you can get a way better bow for that price. I think you are better off trying to sell your guitar stuff then trading it. Before you buy anything though, you need to know your draw length. Once you find a bow that fits your draw length, shoot it before you buy it. You will enjoy the sport way more if you find a bow that fits and feels good for you.

    Don't do it, for $350 you can get a much newer, much better bow than that.

    Dosnt matter if he had put 200 of extras into it. All that equiptment is way out dated. I agree with the rest of these guys, you can find something better, but you need to know your draw length, and shoot several bows, youll see a difference and you will find one you like.

    First of all, welcome to the forum! Second, I wouldn't buy the bow. For $350, you can do much better. If you really want to get into bow hunting, look around, do some research(this site will be a great resource), and find a bow that your happy with and get it set up by an archery shop.

    That bow is junk especialy for 350$.. go on ebay and you can get a pretty late model PSE or Diamond/bowtech for that much money.
