Compound bow advice sought - NorthernRaider - 22 November 2014
Can anyone recommend a budget Compound bow that meets the following criteria,
Under $300 /£250
No longer than 32 inches axle to axle
30 to 35 pound draw weight
28 inch draw + or – a couple of inches
Ideally able to change or replace bow string or bow string assembly simply without high tech and expensive bow presses**
** quite important for preppers after TSHTF when unable to access bowyers stores.

The North East is blighted with Munjuics and other imported species the little bastards love to live alongside roads and railways for some reason, and even a fair few on the coast ( prolly for the salt rather than the weather )

32" is tiny!
This is probably the closest I could find:

But if it is for hunting deer etc (after an event), then wouldn't a crossbow be better......
