I couldn’t agree with you more. Unfortunately the price of new archery equipment has become a luxury... some bare bows cost upwards of $2000 new! I feel that’s out of most people’s reasonable affordability. I’ve owned all second hand bows now, I can’t tell the difference in how they shoot compared to new bows I’ve handled, other than how different makes seem to handle differently Vs other makes. I found shooting the APA bows to be fun and comfortable, and their versatility sets them apart without question. Simple and reliable design, and they are local to western Canada. That means a lot to some of us, especially these days.
Too bad to hear about lost arrow! That’s sad.
