Wal Mart special! Hunter Dan7 dad has one and it pretty much viabrates your hand offwhen you shoot it.

My friend had one and it was pretty decent. Some people will tell you that you need a $900 bow but that isn't neccessary. If is is noisy of vibrates too much there are things you can do to fix some of that.

RE: Bear buckmaster bow
Hey if it was free and is not wore out. Shoot it and see what you think.
I have a PSE Team Fitgerald Nova from Walmart. I paid less than 100 for the entire setup years ago. I set it up and still hunt with it. I can shoot 2-3 inch groups at 40 yards. Not the fastest bow on the market even in its time. Now its way slow.
My opinion is to set it up and fling a few arrows and see how you like it. You never know you may like it and it may shoot well for you. Sure its not the newest fancest thing but who cares it was free.
I don't know about you but I couldn't justify paying some of the prices these new bows go for. (easily 900-1300) Thats crazy if you ask me. Just so you can say you have the newest and fastest bow. I guess if you have it to spend though....
