    I am just getting into traditional but I would say if you have the money to buy it; DO IT.

    I bought 2 bows last weekend at an estate sale out here in california. I paid 60 dollars total for both and didn't realize what I had. The first ended up being a 1966 Bear Kodiak Hunter #50 and the Second a Ben Pearson Cougar xx45# so a 43 lb bow.

    I posted these bows on another site for advice on setup and how good they were and I was told by several traditionalist both of these bows go for anywhere between 130 -175 depending on buyer/collector. Needless to say, they aren't for sale and I ordered strings necessary, and going to pick up arrows on Tuesday.

    It's a deal. You should EASILY be able to get at least $100 apiece for most of those bows
