AJ Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Re: New or Used??? I buy a lot of guns used as they are much cheaper and I do tend to rebarrel or restock the guns anyway, so its $ saved. Archery gear I only buy new. Bows, unlike guns can be damaged fairly easily, so I will only start with new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Re: New or Used??? My guns I bought all new.Bows on the other hand ill buy used ones before ill buy new.You can pick up a one or two year old bow for half or even a third of the price it cost when new and they genarally have a lotta good shots left in em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwheel5 Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Re: New or Used??? I buy alot of stuff off of ebay. Most of what I buy is advertised as new in box. Like the Pentax binocs I got for 75 that are 200 in cabelas, or the Extreme sniper sight for 75 that is 120, or my new arrows that I paid 80 that are 120 at the cheapest place. It really does pay to shop around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Re: New or Used??? I have no problem buying used if it's in really decent shape.I bought 2 new guns last year and that's cause they were on sale.I usually buy a bow or 2 every year and since they're custom recurves and LB's,I pick them up used at swap meets at the traditional shoots.Some of these bows cost upwards of $800 or so new and I can't justify paying that kind of coin.
