Secondhand equipment

Minder

Hello all. Looking for a little advice on secondhand equipment. I have recently taken up archery and was heart set on new equipment until I was offered some secondhand gear. Problem is, I'm sufficiently inexperienced to know if I have been offered a good deal.

So if I could pick your brains, what you you be willing to pay for the following?

Hoyt Matrix Riser
32lb Hoyt G3 Parabolic limbs for 68" bow length
Negrini type hard case
Spigarelli wrap-around arrow rest
Spigarelli button
Beiter clicker

That's it. No arrows, sight, bracer, quiver or tab bought yet, so I have it all to get.

Also are the G3 parabolic a carbon fibre limb?

Lardy

About €200 - €300 tops. Depending on condition and age.

At one time the Matrix was Hoyts top riser. So that's a good buy, assuming it's in good order.

The G3 limbs were also top limbs. They had a reputation for stacking (building up poundage heavily at the end of the draw making it harder to anchor and expand). To a degree that will depend on draw length so if possible try the combo before committing money.

The wrap around arrow rest was flavour of the year a few years ago and there's nothing wrong with them. They are so adjustable it can be awkward to set them up but they are highly adjustable and once set, that's it.

There are different Spigarelli buttons but they would be generally a set up above the basic ones so that's good.

I think they are a carbon/foam limb.
