    Default Mission bows to start out?

    Looking into getting into a bit of archery on a budget, i can get both the Mission Craze and Riot at a very good price, to start out with and maybe later do some hunting, is this okay?Any feedback and advice will be appreciated.

    Hi Antlion,

    I have the craze. Also on a budget and bought a kit 2nd hand over gumtree. There is nothing wrong with the bow to start with and its fine for hunting as well. First see if the hobby is for you before you shell out major bucks

    Just check that the limbs are in good order (Cracks due to dry firing - a big no no) and that the string is in good nick - ie waxed and not brittle. If it is replace immediately. Take it past the guys at Archers Edge to check it out if unsure. Wekker Street in Moreletta.

    Have it set up to suit you, or that it can be setup. No use you buy a 30" max draw length and you measure 31"...

    good option....with decent resale options if you upgrade due to how versatile they are across age groups
