Don’t be afraid to ask the seller some questions that you might need clarifying such as any, condition, exact bow model and make, refunds, exact draw length, draw weight, postage and what exactly is included in the price.

When buying a bow through the archery shops, clarify the length and what the warranty will cover, such as parts and labour. Also inquire about if you can get spare bow parts easy and time frame of repairs. Some archery bows may have to be sent back to the U.S. for repairs and you may be months without a bow. Don’t forget to get an extra bowstring, as finding the exact size and type might be a hassle years down the track.

Whether buying a new longbow, last years stock of recurve bows, or a used compound bow for sale; bow shops, archery magazines, newspapers, archery forums, ebay and archery organisations are a good way to find an excellent deal.
