I took screenshots from the video the seller showed me via chat, I tried to focus on the flaws, there are some marks, but no delamination or cracks, it looks well preserved, the seller said he bought it in 2024 and is selling it because he couldn't find good places to train with it (in my country, archery is not popular). I see wear marks caused by the string, but I can fix that by adding some leather to cushion the string slap, the biggest issue I saw was the string itself, there are some frayed bits on it, I don't know how reliable it is, but I can buy another string from the manufacturers (Old Skull Archery) I'm decided to buy it because this is a very expensive bow in my country, a bow that I couldn't afford new, but used, it's less than half the price, do you also think it's a good deal? (I asked if the bow makes any strange noise when drawing the string, he assured me it doesn't, but if I buy it and notice that, by law, I can return any product purchased online within 7 days after receiving it, without having to justify the reason for the return)

I got it from a local craftsman who has been making bows for 40 years. I found the paint job quite rough, but the quality and comfort are excellent. It’s easy to draw and very accurate.

I'm using the Courtier's Trousers instead.

I can return it by July 20th; do you think I should return it and save up for a better one, or just use it to practice until I can buy another one further down the line?

Underneath, I equipped the darkened plate armor; it didn't affect stealth at all—quite the opposite, actually. For some reason, it reduced noise by 1 and even granted a +1 bonus to Charisma.
