I am thinking of upgrading my bow by purchasing a used bow. What do you reccomend?
Heath from AL asks: Bill, I continue to enjoy both the show and the ask Winke parts of the sight, a huge resource. I want to follow up on another’s question. In a question about new gear, you recommended the Ultratech for someone on a budget. I really like my bow, but it is an older model and it is pretty loud. Is it safe to buy a used bow on line? How would one spot abuse or damage? How important is it to upgrade to higher speed? Budget is a major concern, but I struggle putting new strings and cables on my old bow when that is going to cost $150 or so. I only paid $180 for the bow two years ago. What do you recommend? Winke Responds: Heath, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy off e-bay as long as you use your credit card (not purely a Pay Pal account balance) and then only buy bows that offer an inspection period. If there is a problem just tell your card company you aren’t going to pay it. Also, look for sellers that have several sales and a very high rating. There is probably nothing wrong
