You should find plenty to choose from, Jason.

When they hold the trade and swap on Sat. afternoon keep your eyes open and your wallet handy. You should have no problem finding a good bow for your son.

Jason, the Bears usually bring a premium price.  You can find better deals on other brands such as Browning, Shakespeare or Pearson.

Yes Jason, there is quite a Smorgasbord of old bows, including Bears! I always tell people that are looking for a used bow, go to Cloverdale and shoot to your hearts content! Always a great place and folks,too! Even if the weather doesn't always cooperate. Make sure to look everywhere, not just in the big tents, there's alot going on all around.! Hope to meet you, Good shootin, Steve.
