Search BR craigslist sporting for Matthews bows. There's an older Feathermax (probably a 1996 or so model) fully rigged with a really nice case, a dozen arrows and a $100 Scott release for $350, and another (FX) for $190. For those of you thinking about getting in to bow hunting, you might be best to start out with something like this prior to dropping $1,000 on a new setup.

There's also a nice Hoyt for sale in Covington for $250.

I don't know if this is against TD rules to direct folks to other sites, but these aren't my items for sale. I just saw them and thought they were good, inexpensive alternatives for someone just starting out. Pardon me if I piss someone off.

I appreciate you looking out for everyone on here.

Your last sentence made me laugh. Sound really defensive like people are ganging up on you or acting all OT'ish.

I hope this place is still a circle of trust and safe haven.

As a former owner of a very similar bow, and a general Mathews fanboy, I cannot recommend this bow.

Not sure I would buy a 17 year old bow from someone I didn't know had taken good care of it. definitely wouldn't drop $350 on it. can get a decent Bear setup for that price just about.
