Compound bow advice sought
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.

"tiny amount of deer"?? get out of your ivory tower, there are over 2 million wild deer in the UK and they are multiplying.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

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 )

RE: Compound bow advice sought
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......
