Looking on craigslist or archery talk can be a good place to find a great package deal but I've always had the idea that bows aren't like guns. If you get one that hasn't been handled right you're basically drawing back a bomb. Id just rather buy new. The peace of mind is worth the extra money to me.

I wouldn't buy used.
Also I went about this the wrong way by buying less expensive bows and putting off the inevitable - if I had gone ahead and bought the Mathews at first I would have been a lot happier and just spent the money once and over the long run saved money.
And one more thing: buy from an established archery shop. Build a relationship with these guys, they will be the ones doing the tuning and work on your bow, arrows and other equipment.
