If I paid that much for a bow, it had better hit like, well, a gun. Sorry bud, but personally, bows suck unless your Rambo.
"Bows Suck" Generally spoken by people who do not have the skills to successfully archery hunt. If I had to give up my firearms or give up my bow, the guns would go first as at least for myself there's not greater thrill than a successful archery hunt.
Unfortunately 600.00 for a fully set-up bow isn't that bad anymore with manufactures charging 700-900.00 for just the bow, plus another 200-300.00 for accessories.
A compound will never hold it's value like a firearm, but they do hold their value for a few years. The original poster is making a wise choice in keeping his gun, but for anyone who says the next year a bow isn't worth anything look at feebay and what some of the 2-4 year old Mathews, PSE's, Bow-techs, etc. are going for.
