When I started deer hunting you couldn't hunt deer with a firearm 'til you were 14 but could begin archery deer hunting at 12.
So, my first deer, a spike buck, I shot with an old garage sale compound bow (I can't remember now the brand), Easton 2217s (if I recall correctly), and Bear Razorheads.
I eventually "upgraded" to a brand new Bear Whitetail Hunter bow, fully outfitted, it set me back $79 bucks. That seemed like all the money in the world back in the 80's but considerably less than my latest Hoyt RX7 Ultra outfitted set me back last year.
