Hey, just wondering everyone’s opinion on best bang for buck used bow. Let’s say no older then 5 years.

There are brand new 2019 Elite bows being sold here in the classifieds and also online for about half of suggested retail. I had never shot an Elite prior to a month ago, but a friend gave high marks to the Ritual 35 and I couldn't pass up the deal. I like it much better than the used 19 PSE Evoke 35 SE that I bought this winter to try out.

There are many preferences that make this hard to answer directly.... I have bought and enjoyed many used bows... have kept most even, but I did lots of review reading on the draw smoothness, valley, back wall which are more important to me before buying... I bought one low let off speed bow and immediately sold it to save my shoulder... in short it depends;)

Another vote for the new leftover models from Elite. The Ritual is a great bow. Others like the Option 6/7 and Synergy are also great bows. I've seen NOS for $500 and used in the $300 range. Great bows for the $$$.

If there are any still available, the Elite Ritual is hard to beat. I picked up one for $500 brand new this summer. That's half the price from last year and it's still brand new, never shot, with full warranty.
