Cruise the archery forums to see what they think are decent bows. Then hit ebay and see if anything there would work for you. I picked up a 45# recurve for about $50. I got an old 45# compound bow for about $25. Both work well, and I have learned how to shoot using them. I was planning on getting a heavier draw compound bow to hunt with, but at this point I don't think I'll bother. Either one of these will be more than enough for the critters I am likely to hunt. For what your budget is, you should be able to pick up an awesome used bow on there. Just remember to get good arrows and broadheads. Saving $15-20 for cheaper broadheads defeats all the money and practice you put into it. Don't go with the bargain models that have the paper thin blades. Good luck and good hunting!A good bow to start deer hunting.?
your best bet is to go to a archery shop and tell them what your budget is and shoot some most bows now are great so just try them until you find one you like. a newer 50# bow is plenty for any game I would get carbon arrows since they are more durable than allum. just remember that go shot placement is better than having the fastest bow I shoot a longbow that is 43# and that will kill just about any game in the US the guy that made my bow is 70+ and he killed a black bear last year with a 40# longbow so just find a bow that you like and practice alot . You can get a complete setup for your budget pretty easy.
I only have one bit of advice, because just like guns, bows are different for everyone.
For my first bow, the owner of the bow shop suggested one that I was comfortable with, but not an expensive one that did all the work for me. This way, I was able to learn how I shot and what would eventually work best for me. Hunting and archery shops tend to have a few used bows that you can set up fairly cheap off the get go. Shop around and don't be too taken in by all the big-shot talkers bragging about how awesome their $1500 bow is in the field.
Alpine Archery makes some really nice bows for the money. In your price range, I'd look into a Alpine Frontier. It is a single cam bow. IBO of over 300 fps. Lifetime warranty. Great brace height. Very easy bow to shoot accurately. You can buy one new for $300 for a complete set up. That includes the rest, sight, quiver, everything you need but arrows. I loved mine so much that when I upgraded, I went with Alpine's top of the line model, the Silverado. I have loved it as well. If the Frontier was a bow from a different manufacturer, you'd pay at least twice as much for the bow.
There is plenty of bows on the market in that price range. First and foremost go to a local archery shop. Handle and shot as many bows as you can. Pay no attention to name brands, shoot bows in your price range and get the one that feels right in your hand. Most bows on the market today will more than get the job done. Finding a tack driver in today's market with a reasonable price is very doable. A place to start looking at prices is....
Lots of reasonably priced bows on Ebay for you to get.* That's where I bought mine, and the accessories to go with it. No regrets here.* You can save yourself a lot of $$$ on Ebay.* Mine is a 45lb recurve.* You should buy a 35lb bow minimum to hunt with.* You can harvest any game in North America with a 55lb bow.* You don't need anything beyond 55lb.* I prefer the 45lb myself.*
