I don't know buddy. I'm a stick bow guy,but the one thing I do see with compounds is huge depreciation from one year model to the next. It seems bows with multiple strings and cams go out of date as fast as electronics. The industry only survives because it pushes the need for the newest,latest, greatest.
All that said,I think I would educate myself as to what was considered some of the best a couple years ago and learn how to check over a used bow and buy a used model at considerable savings. You will need to know his draw length and know what lengths a particular bow will accommodate. Check on expense of replacing cables and how to tell if they need it,and I guess go from there. Some of the other guys cal better tell you what to look for in a used bow if you decide to go that route.
