This item was from a local archery shop that closed down. This is how it was hanging on the shelf. I'm not sure if it was used or not so I just listed it as used just to be safe. It does not appear that there are marks where the string would have been released from the mechanism so it may not have been used but it was opened regardless. I am no expert so just trying to visually describe this as best as possible. If there is anything else you'd like to know about it or additional pictures of a specific location, please let me know. There are some minor marks from it being moved around. It comes exactly as shown in the pictures. The package shows signs of age/distress, etc. Please refer to the pictures for the actual item for sale. The last few pictures show what's appears to be degradation of the foam padding. Thanks for looking.
