If you wanted to find a used bow to shoot, possibly even hunt with, what would you look for as far as best bang for the $$$. Probably something at least three years old but less than 10. Looking for specific models I can search for that are reasonably quiet/smooth.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I've bought several off of eBay and were great deals. Some folks on there don't know what they got, and how much it's worth. I'm a Hoyt guy.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Looking for specific models I can search for that are reasonably quiet/smooth. on the used market, what i would suggest is buying the flagship model in whatever brand you look at … i’ve done this with Bear & have had phenomenal success with it … i still am shooting my 2012 Carnage & it’s a beast

Lot of really good options in the used market. I would take a look at the 2-3 year old Elites. The Kure, enkore, remedy, and envision can all be found at very reasonable prices. These bows have a ton of adjustment built in. Long range of draw length adjustment as well as let off adjustment and the ability to change between a limb stop and cable stop. They are smooth shooting bows. X2, I shoot an Enkore and don't see myself changing anytime soon unless the thing happens to break in half.

You can find a Hoyt alpha max or a carbon spyder for cheap and those are good bows. Always make sure you replace the string right out of the gate. There is no telling how old the string is and if it has been kept in a cool environment

Go to a shop and shoot several. Everyone has different preferences in what they like. Your question is sorta like asking about buying a truck, where you'll get a thousands different answers and reasons from a thousand different people. The best thing you can do is find a shop and fling some arras.
