All,
Last year I killed my first deer/buck with a bow - a hand me down Mission UX2 from my brother. The bow worked fine for me, but I've built my own set of heavier arrows and I'd like to purchase a used Mathews for myself this year. Based on what I could find, the UX2 is rated for 308 fps, has a 33.125" ata, 7" brace height and weighs around 3.9 lbs.
I'm looking to buy something used for $500 or less bare. Some bows I've seen in this price range are the Switchback, Drenalin, Heli-m, Monster, Reezen, Halon 6, Z3, and Z7 - to name a few.
What kind of things should I consider when looking at these used models? Are there models to avoid and ones I should look for? How important is brace height?
Ultimately I would like something a little faster and not too heavy.
Any help is appreciated.
