I?m on the hunt for the best bang for the buck compound bow, but I know nothing about them. I could go buy new, but I?m open to used. When I search Craigslist, I just have no clue what to look for. If someone were looking for a first AR, I?d be the perfect guy to help navigate the choices. (As would many of you) I want that input from someone who really knows the field.

I shot a lot in the 80?s and 90?s, so I?m not new to archery, just modern equipment. It?ll get used primarily for shooting with my kids. Got them both bows recently, and we shoot several times a week. I?m old, fat, and weak, and I wrecked a shoulder years ago, so I?m intrigued by the high let-off of modern bows. I forget my draw length, but I?m 5?9?.

Max budget is $750 for a complete package. Less is always better.

Anyone willing to look at used bow sources and make a recommendation? I?m west of COS, but willing to drive north for a great deal.

Failing that maybe someone could recommend new bowls in the $500 range
