[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 253072, member: 12"] IMO the last thing you want to do is buy a bow off ebay or "from a friend", particularily if you are not 110% of what you are buying and totally familiar with it. I have seen literally hundreds of those deals walk into my buddies archery shop and they ended up with a bow that they cannot shoot right or have to spend hundreds to change cams, cables etc. Go to a real archery shop and look at used bows, particularily for your first bow. Lot of guys trade every year or two and you can buy a quality bow at less than 50% and often comes with all the goodies such as sights, stabilizer, rest etc already on it. Buy what fits you and feels comfortable in your hands. Not all will work for you. Try them in the shop, even if only 2-3 yds just to see how they feel and vibrate. Lot of guys like Mathews, I personally love the Hoyts and would not buy a Mathews, but they are both great bows IF you like them and they work for you. To each his own and you must find yours.
