I'm just getting my start in archery hunting and I have a buddy who is selling a 2011 bowtech destroyer 350. The bow comes with tru-glo sights, tight spot quiver, drop away arrow rest, tru ball release and a dozen axis fmj arrows. He is asking $800 for it. The first question I have about this is if it is a good deal? My brother seems to think it is a little steep for a bow that is a couple years old and if it were for the bare bow I would agree 100%. However, I think that with all the nice accessories that are coming with it that it might actually be quite fair. What do you think? If you do think it is high what is the highest price you would be willing to pay for this setup.
My other question on this is whether or not this would be a suitable bow for a beginner. I've read that these lightning fast bows are harder for a beginner to shoot because any form errors are greatly magnified. I have a short 27" draw length so the 6" brace height might not affect me as much as it would a longer guy. If I start out with a bow this fast will I have a frustrating learning experience that would have been made much easier shooting a milder bow. I have heard that the bowtech destroyer has a lot more "forgiveness" than many other of the high performing bows in its class but I don't know. Any expert input would be appreciated.
