Just getting started, need input on a used bow

[jdime]

Hey all,

I am considering picking up a used bow due to my limited budget. Does anyone have any input on a single string "Eagle Aeroforce X80" ???

I'm guessing your looking at the one on the big list for $200. Save your money for another 2-4 months and spend around $400. You will find yourself with a very very nice bow in that range!!

Yeah, I might just save up. The problem is I just want to try it out. I don't want to invest $600 altogether just to try it out.

Those Onida bows used to be top of the line and actually one of the fastest bows on the market in it's time. I have shot a few of them in the past and liked them a really good shooting bow. The only problem I had with them is they were noisy when those recurve limbs slap down.

I'm a very big fan of Mathews but I don't think I would buy a used Mathews. Mathews has a Lifetime warranty but is voided once you sell it to another person. Just a warning. I would save up and get something a little bit better quality so you don't kick yourself for not getting something better and in 2 years buying a better bow. I bought a carry over bow 4 years ago and it was a 60 pound Mathews. I just bought new limbs for my bow so now I have 70 lb limbs I should have bought a 70 right off the get go but thought 60 would have been adequate but I want more speed and power. IF your only going to go for deer/turkey get a 60 lb bow but I don't know if I would buy one without shooting it prior to purchase.
