A little advice. Go to Home Depot and buy a couple of sheets of drywall and cover all the insulation with them. It is unhealthy to stay in a place where the insulation is exposed. If you don't have a large truck, take the measurements before you go to the store and cut the sheets in the parking lot. You will have a healthier place to stay, will look a lot nicer and don't cost much. Great videos!

[@konstantinethegr8]

lasegundaenmienda gmail i would also recommend that he not bash older bows. They still work

[@kerryhoward804]

I'm really impressed by this young man's knowledge of compound bows!!!

[@averagejackarchery]

Past 25 year old me thanks you! Now I'm just grey, balder, and continue to grow in archery every day.

[@golfdogjim]

Thanks for the great information. I still hunt with my 1985 PSE Pulsar, and can only imagine how much fun a new bow would be to shoot! Love your channel.

[@bradbo3]

My son's have matthews solo cams passed on from my late uncle.....I know they are over 10 yrs old so I took them to the local bow shop to see if they were ok to shoot. Tech said they were in great shape and my uncle must've taken really good care of them. Saved me from having to buy new bows for them....luckily the tech has parts for them if needed.....but also kids have same draw as my uncle did.

[@GunManTan007]

Something I enjoy doing is finding deals at pawn shops and yard sales I recently purchased a bowtech fuel (2014 model) and it was very lightly used. After further research I found the bow to range from 500-600 brand new and I talked the guys down to 125 and tax brought me to 130. And it was all factory accessories and the string and cables had zero ware!!! I love the bow!!!

[@marshalljackson9450]

Thanks for all the great advice. I'm still looking for my first bow, and I'm definitely taking all the points you've brought up into consideration. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@themidgetraider3660]

I still have my dads old bow 1963 and its 55 pound pull and I still use it and it fires perfectly and is in amazing condition

[@dgoutdoorschannel]

I bought a high country archery power extreme pro for 50$ at a pawn shop and had no problems with it from the looks of it the string was new had a a quiver and new whisker biscuit it was made in 2000-2001 because of the mossy oak original break up camo pattern was on it it may 19 years old but I really like it. I believe sometimes u can go cheap and older for a good price you just have to know what your looking at or getting

[@kdawgarchery9736]

I recently bought a new in box 2007 Parker Hornet Plus 2 on eBay for a really good price. I'm not sure the exact date the bow was built but I was told it was within the last 2 years. Built from old stock parts at the factory. The bow arrived and was new, never been shot. Strings were in excellent condition. But the bow was pulling 82 lbs! It was only a 70 lb bow. I found the string had stretched over an inch and threw out the ATA and brace height. Ordered a new set and installed them. Brought the bow back to factory specs and gave it a good tune. I shot it through the chronograph with a 458 gr arrow and got a consistent 297 fps! I wouldn't recommend a novice archer trying this because I put a good 4 hours of work changing out string and cables and getting this perfectly tuned. The older dual cam bows are notorious for being hard to tune. Stick with a newer bow if you are new to archery.

[@shadedlaughter4235]

dude your videos and cam presence is great perfect for guys like me just getting into archery. thank you

[@averagejackarchery]

jessie hedrick Glad it works for you!

[@aresquared4864]

Excited about shooting preach it. Enjoy the sport and be an ambassador by encouraging others to join is what we should all be doing. Really enjoy your videos.

[@1911geek]

You're good man humble and knowledgeable very considerate yet informative and details in explanation.

[@MrKidatheart2]

your video makes me want to buy a new, (used), bow so I can try this new technology. It's apparent that many people enjoy a loyalty to their old, dependable, inherited equipment. I also have old and inherited stuff that I defend to the end. this video, and others like it, are encouraging me to try the newest generation of bows though, thank you for that. God bless.

[@jtsoutdoorsandmore8136]

Great video bro . I have a bow from 1985 and a bow from 1995 there old and slow but I won't hesitate to take them out into the woods .there still great bows and they will still fill the freezer .

[@Chechenblack]

Really loving your vids. Sorry not on any social media but just purchased a PSE brute x and collecting it next week. Super excited but a touch nervous. First bow and all. Second hand and not much of a clue what to do. So lots of your videos will be watched. Wish me luck and thanks for the great advice/tips. 🤙🏻

[@jtsoutdoorsandmore8136]

Well said bro . new cares what kind of bow you have , it's just nice to get out with your friends and family and shoot . I know for me it doesn't matter if its a new bow or a 30 year old bow I love archery and I love to shoot .

[@CascadeGriz]

Great advise!

[@fbnow2003]

Great advice. I'm a noob that is lucky enough to work in an archery shop - I see that a lot. I have those nice wall hangers

[@fbnow2003]

Bear whitetail and proline bows are fun. Dust them off by shooting from time to time 👍

[@jeremyhurtubise6551]

Great video thank you God bless and good luck this season. Keep smiling

[@hunting310]

Great video like usual! You know, looking back it is really interesting to see how quickly compound bows have evolved. I still have my old PSE spyder from the late 90's that I got for my sixth birthday and when I compare it to the Hoyt spyder 30 that I am currently shooting it is just mind blowing how much has changed in just under 20 years. Shoot, when I upgraded from my old Hoyt razortec last year I was amazed with how much had changed since I had gotten that bow. Dang, talking about how much these bows have changed in my lifetime makes me feel old and I am only 23 ha ha.

[@deividweiss]

That happened to me this year I bought my first bow used it's a hoyt raptor it was well maintained but I can't fully adjust to my draw length because I would have to buy new cams. It's good bow I will used it for maybe 2 or 3 seasons but the truth is if I knew than what I know now I wouldn't have purchased because I had to replace the strings and cables put a new sight and a new weight at the end I end up paying more for all that and the price of the used bow than if I had purchased a new one.

[@Mira-The-Cat]

I am new to archery. Been shooting my diamond infinite edge. But I found a Hoyt charger(2015) for $200 and it seems to be in great shape. Would it be a good buy?

[@mitchpitt4103]

I wish that were the case here, in Australia for a second hand flagship bow your still paying a lot, there was a Hoyt alphamax 35 for sale for $950 it was a 2010 bow

[@anthonydominguez9585]

I have a compound bow from the 80's.

[@steveposey5607]

Very well done video

[@jufrmdamo]

I appreciate all of your videos ! You’ve really opened my eyes to the world of archery , have you ever been interested into cross bows ?

[@averagejackarchery]

Jayden Lampton I myself wouldn't be caught dead shooting a crossbow! Haha. But that said I'm not against them at all. I have disabled relatives that would lose out on archery hunting if it weren't for crossbows, and it's undeniably a great way to introduce kids to hunting. At this stage in my life it's not for me. But as I age and my kids do too and become of hunting age, I'll undoubtedly own one in sure. :)

[@jarodstevens2710]

Yep it's official..I like this guy 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@brandonguitierez3821]

Bro...love your videos...but you're not outside haha. Messing with ya

[@averagejackarchery]

And it depresses me beyond words!

[@brandonguitierez3821]

Average Jack Archery I get that brother!! Great videos though. Very helpful.

[@dustinhayden9687]

What's your take on the bow tech assassin

[@Theoutdoorsaregreat1275]

i bought a used bow and it is so good pls if u r reading this used bows are not always bad

[@andrewgrayoutdoors5122]

I am currently looking for a bow to replace my 1990s Browning. What do you think of PSE Prophecy there is a guy with one that seems to be a good deal. I feel like I really cannot go wrong with anything newer but am not exactly sure what would be best for me. I mainly whitetail hunt. Thanks for any insight on this!!!

[@averagejackarchery]

Andrew Anderson The Prophecy is a great bow! Good luck!

[@rw9347]

I'm considering buying a used cabellas bowtech instagator as my first bow. Hes selling it for 100 do you think that's a fair price?

[@averagejackarchery]

I think for $100 if the bow is in good shape is a good deal! Definitely want to check out all of its components and the strings and cables to see if anything is damaged or needs replaced.

[@ryanoleston7136]

What used bow do you recommend in the couple hundred dollar range to be used mostly for deer hunting?

[@brendenmcelhinney8146]

Ryan Oleston I have found a Mathews or a bear would be the best for your price range

[@claychandler3468]

Great information but if you buy a used bow or something see if you can find somebody that can help you and educate you with the knowledge however there's too much shit that goes into these bows it's probably not even worth getting one of the way I see it I almost bought one for $20 but I didn't know enough about it so I walked away and I thought what the hell you know why you didn't mess with this thing I do better with my guns and I would with this anyway just a matter of opinion I would never buy a bow too much shit involved

[@sandergoldberg4508]

Hi Jack. I am completely new to compound archery. I have a chance to buy a Parker Buck Hunter with a lot of accessories. here is the CR listing york.craigslist.org/spo/d/parker-buck-hunter-compound/6444699414.html. It comes with a case, a trigger and a wrist guard. It also has the sight and the whisker biscuit. It seems pretty complete. Do you think it is a good deal and is that brand and model a good bow?

[@Mr94aleq]

Rename this video. I wanted to hear how to inspect used bow before i buy it. Not those advice which everbody already know... dislike
