Greetings HT.
After 40 years of rifle hunting, I am diving into the world of Bowhunting. I have always been interested and as I am now older (55) I feel the need to take my hunting to a more challenging level. OnXhunt maps has opened a new world for me here in CA. I had no idea there were so many pockets of State and BLM lands near me in the foothills near Sacramento. Small pockets of under 100 acres that rifle hunting would be impractical.
So, I have a question for the Bowhunting members.
Would I be better served buying a higher end but older bow vs. a lower-mid level new bow?
Based on your opinion, what would be a bow I should consider?
I am RH, 28" draw.
My budget is $400 all in (RTH). I may be able to stretch for another $50. I suspect I will be "hooked" and can then consider a higher end bow that better suits my fancy and shooting style.
I do have some experience with Archery and compound bows, but not in a hunting application.
Appreciate all the input and opinions.
