I have been looking at buying a new bow. By looking at the package deals on the internet, they seem like the way to go. Form your experience, do the package bows tend to come with cheap parts, or should they be fine? My budget is around $400. Thanks!

Package deals work out alright. If you don't like one of the pieces in the package you can usually sell it on eBay and get the part you really want. The bow I have now was a package deal when I purchased it 6 years ago, but I think I have replaced every piece that came with it over time (Front sight, stabilizer, peep, quiver, and arrow rest)

If you can work on a bow yourself, online packages can be a good deal. For most of us, however, the service you get in a bow shop setting up and tuning your bow is worth a lot more than the money you save buying online. I would feel like a real jerk taking a setup I bought online into my local bow show and asking them to help me with it.

Not only does Greenheads advice say alot about his character but I couldn't agree with him more. Buying local will only help you in the long run, as far as a package goes, if you can't afford to outfit a new bow now, then buy a package and replace it little by little as Bioguy suggested. That will get you shooting tomorrow. If you decide you can, than start out with a stripped bow and outfit it yourself.

I am sure there is nothing wrong with the package deal. I bought a Bear Encounter last year and love it. The package should be in your price range. I personaly did not go for the package. I like my bow setup different than the offered package. I spent more money, but it is set up the way I like.
