I had this same question a couple years back when I started bow hunting.

I ended up buying new.

One if not the biggest reasons was you knew exactly what the history is on with the bow. no dry fires, no falls from a tree stand, how many arrows went though the thing, string life etc.

But, if you buy one from a buddy or reputable person that will stand behind it, I would buy a used bow.

I got the diamod Razors edge for my wife this spring; its a nice bow for a starter because of all the adjustment it has, as far as the sights, rest, and quiver i threw that stuff away and got her a good rest, sight, etc. I dont think you could go wrong with that bow when learning. good luck!!
