So what was it? What was THE best deal you ever got at a yard sale for an archery related item?
I got mine Saturday...
An Apple Archery Products arrow cutoff saw for $10!
I figured they weren't very cheap and thought ten bucks was a good "yard sale" price. When I got home and looked it up in Google, I found theys sell for $299.99!!! Yikes!
The thing is like brand new and runs great.
This must be the week for saws . I picked up an older Easton arrow saw. Fifteen bucks. Mine runs great too.
Those are some great deals. I guess all the archers/bowhunters in my neck of the woods hang on to their stuff. I have never found anything worth a flip but that doesn't stop me from looking!
My dad made purchase but it was good for me. He bought a 48# Bear BearCat for either $5 or $10 when I was young. He never used it but I sure did.
Dave you didn't buy that saw. You stole it. LOL. Good Job!!!
Box of 50 unused Bear Razorheads for $40.00. Browning recurve for $20.00. Bear Kodiak Hunter for $10.00, with some arrows. The Bear is kinda beat, but it's a rare one, and may get a trip to Bowdoc, if no one wants it as is.
Not a yard sale, but I picked up these three bows & a Bear 76er at a junk shop for less than $100.

Not exactly a 'yard sale' purchase; I bought my Black Widow HF for $20.00 from a co-worker.
Perfect Red Wing Hunter, pre AMF - $4
Traded it for a Bear Grizzly on here.
I didnt buy em, but I have em now. My dad bought some bows for 15$. An AMF Hawk, BP Woodsman hunter, A Shakespeare x-18 all 45@28". He also got another 58" Shakespeare 40#@28 with a nice silver medallion inlaid. My brother stole that. Nice bows for the price. I plan on hunting each one once I learn how to shoot. :D
Bear Cub, 29#, $2
When the compound craze hit, i bought many recurves at pawn swhops for under $10. Couple of real nice Bears and a Shakespeare. Last year I got a Browning Cobra for $10 at a yard sale.
I bought a recurve in an antique store about 15 years ago for $5.00. It had about 1/8 " on dust on it and the only thing I could tell was that it was a bow.
Got it home an cleaned it up. A mint Browning Cobra
(50# @ 28")...no dings or scratches. The rest looked like maybe 2 dozen arrows had been shot out of it.
Real happy with that deal.

1962 Bear Kodiak, 55#, straight limbs with absolutely no stress cracks. $25.00.
I look I stop and I stop and shop some more, still no real goodies except one. I seen it and one and only one person came to mind. I thought it was worthy of her, our own Shell.

Got a 3d deer target for $10,a cube target 2' x2' for $5 and a 20-60 power spotting scope for $6 with a extra tripod (woman said gosh I don't no what my husband paid for it but, he never uses it) Ben
Oh, I forgot, I also got a mint Herters recurve a year or two ago that looks like it was never shot. Forget what the weight was because I've never shot it either.... It's laying in the basement with a bunch of others. Think I paid 40 bucks.
Got a Robertson takedown recurve for $50, a Loc on treestand for $5, a box of broadheads for $5, a box of screw in steps for 25 cents each, and a few other doo dads, last summer.
Bear Mag riser TD with original Bear hard case for $50.00
2 kids fiberglass bows for 50 cents each.
My son picked up a Young Feather burner just like new for $0.25 last summer. The guy said if you can tell me what it is you can have it for a quarter!
