Well currently going to college, but as far as work goes I work for the Department of Natural Resorces in MO at a State Park, the I work the my university's police department, and work for one of my teachers cuttin down tree's and puttin up fence.
I know alot of the bow shops around my area have both used and new bows. I would recommend going there and shooting as many different bows as possiable. When I was looking for my new bow that is all I did for quite some time. You just have to find some that you feel good about. Also if you are looking into getting a used bow I would recommend having your brother with you or someone with you to look over the bow with you. In my mind I would look it over really good and pay attention to the cams. Make sure the barings do not sound rough or squeek. good luck! Happy huntin!
