So far I've sold every trad bow for more than I bought it for, buy low, sell high:) No 60 buck release, no 100 buck sight and no 125 buck rest, and no 70 buck strings and cables, all you need is bow, arrows and tab or glove, way cheaper to start, have to admit, I spend a bit more on feathers and shafts than did for vanes and shafts for my wheelie bow, but I'm getting better every day and the arrow cost will go down. BUT get some lessons from a proper instructor or you will never reach your full potentential of accuracy or performance out of your bow. Just my 2 cents.
