Your best archery yard sale deal ever?

[Dave Bulla]

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.

[BMOELLER]

Dave you didn't buy that saw. You stole it. LOL.  Good Job!!!

[SCATTERSHOT]

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.

[OzarkRamblr]

Not a yard sale, but I picked up these three bows & a Bear 76er at a junk shop for less than $100.

[Lawrenceu]

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

[Roadkill]

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.

[BodarkOkie]

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.

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.

[Dave Bulla]

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.

[Kevin Bahr]

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.
