Buying bowhunting gear is no joke. Ever feel overwhelmed with the cost? Recently I had a listener reach out named Tim who asked if buying a used bow is ok. In this episode I talk about what to consider when buying a used bow.
Budget wise, buying used is great because of all the added costs that go along with a hunt. Be mindful and have a friend familiar with bows go with you when you buy it. If possible, meet at a range and get a chance to shoot the bow.
Thanks for tuning into First Generation Bowhunter, where I share my journey of bowhunting to help you with yours.

Join me on episode 71 to here one of my all time most important phrases that I live by: There is no free lunch.
In bowhunting, this is absolutely the case. You will work for every success you get. Your stack of failures will be cashed in one day. You've got to keep at it. Learn more about mindset on this episode especially if you're experiencing a lot of frustration and just want to sell your bow. Don't sell your bow.
3 days after publishing my last episode, my dad passed away. He taught me this phrase ever since I was a kid. I've given this phrase a lot of thought lately and thought it'd be appropriate to tie in this invaluable mindset that my dad taught to me all these years and apply it to bowhunting.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
