What do you spend on a new bow setup?

My Hoyt, and that was good 8 years ago was $1700

Last compound and the crossbow were about 1500 each with everything.  I wouldn't expect to pay that for a stick bow.  Prices came a long way since top bows were priced between 200-300.

I bought a used recurve, 45#, with a vintage Bear quiver for 25 dollars at the Pequest Sports show.   Might be a Howatt, but no markings on it.  Shot a bunch of deer with it and could for the rest of my life most likely.

My current rig is a crossbow. An Excalibur Micro335. I got it barely used for 425 shipped. I bought a string from 60X and a stringer and arrows from Wyvern Creations (whom I cannot recommend highly enough). So I’m 550 in to it. 

If I buy another bow, it will be a longbow. I want one bow in particular, a Great Northern “L’il Creep” Michigan Special in 45ish lbs. I would have to stumble on a sweet deal as it would be a toy I occasionally hunted. So I’m not too hopeful. 

If Two Tracks did the “Ogemaw” in all green I would be tempted. Thankfully they do not. 

So for the moment, I have my crossbow and I’m fine with it.

Close to $2k on my Hoyt Carbon Spyder setup. That being said, I expect that it will last me the rest of my hunting days unless I have to downgrade #s or switch to crossbow due to injury or old age. If you buy a quality bow and take care of it, it should last a long time. Also, quality bows can be had for much less than $2k.

I have 2 hand me down recurves from my uncle. A Kodiak Magnum and a Grizzly. Both 45lbs.

 

I didn’t spend anything on the bows but I am always spending money on arrows, heads, inserts, quivers, etc... I am looking at purchasing a longbow to give it a try also. I was at Lancaster Archery last week and was looking at a Galaxy longbow in the $200 range.
