I have an older bow but still have about $500 in bow cost and accessories. Have hunted with it for over 20 years and have continuously upgraded string, rest, silencers, etc. so I think I have gotten my moneys worth out of it. A buddy was recently telling me he has over $1,200 invested in his two year old Matthews. Just got me thinking it might be interesting to know how much everyone has tied up in their bows?
How much $ do you have in your bow?

Probably around $1200 also. Those damn arrows are what get you though.

Come on guys, lets help the economy! LOL 1200 bucks seems to be the average on a bow sale before I open my doors. The bow @800.00 or so, rest @100.00, sites @ 80.00, case 30.00 arrows 75.00 release 60.00 sling 7.00, tips 2.00 bh's 40.00 stabilizer 25.00 that brings it to just over 1200.00

I only have 18$ into my Mathews Lx, arrows around 80$.....Funny story some dude sold it to me fully loaded.....he wanted 500 for it (he wanted a X-bow) so i bought one for him at 218$ out the door, sold my old bow for 200 same day. Good deal i thought, i had him put a new string to my liking on it before the deal went down. So yup 18$$ looking to drop a couple hundred into it this summer though. Ive had the bow for almost 3 years now...no complaints at all love it to death

Im around $1500 but the way I feel about it is if you use it and enjoy it,its worth it. My co-workers think im nuts for spending that kind of money on equipment but they will spend way more than that every year in casino's and scratch offs gambling,go figure 
.
Now if you only pick up a bow a few times a year than I think its foolish to spend alot IMO,since it wont hold its value like a gun.

For sure. Spending the money on a new bow last year has motivated me to get into leagues year round now. Shooting indoors at least once a week with a 3D once a month. Having a blast doing it too! Sure beats bowling in a league.
