    So i have been shooting bows for quite a while never had a really nice compound until a little over a year ago I saved up and bought a mathews v3. I absolutely
    Loved it.well about a month ago some I ran into the gas station and some lowlife scum grabbed my bow case out the back seat of my buddy's truck.im in a hard place financially and no way I can afford any kinda decent compound.i absolutely hate asking for help let alone charity.i miss shooting so much it's my escape from stress.if anyone has any idea on where I could get a bow for very little down and pay over time. thank everyone who takes the time to read this.god bless

    Joseph tell us a bit more about yourself, you are brand new here. There are many people here who are very generous with their knowledge and assistance.

    You can always buy on eBay and put it on PayPal credit and pay over time. Some shops will let you do layaway. Might be able to get a new old stock for a good price. I would give you a trophy ridge 3 pin sight and a whisker biscuit I have laying around if you got a bow.

    Sorry for your loss. The world hates a thief. And, it only takes seconds for one to ruin someone's day!

    Thats scary. All but 2 states requires car insurance by law. Better tell your buddy.

    Not all car insurance covers theft.

    I took it as uninsured for theft, since he said he reported it. If I'm wrong, my appologies.

    It was vague. That was just my interpretation.

    Would that be covered under a homeowner's policy? Just curious. Might check into that.

    Not saying this is the case but I fell for something like this years ago. I sent literally my last arrows to someone on here and they disappeared. And this wasn't at a time in my life where I could even buy more arrows.

    Sadly, that's the kind of world we live in now, especially with the internet.

    Sota is correct, spill the beans on yourself. A lot of people on here would absolutely help you
