Mathews Q2 - thinking of buying, need advice

Hello,
I am thinking of buying a used (barely used, almost new) Mathews Q2 bow for hunting mostly whitetail here in Pennsylvania.
It has been years since I hunted with a bow, recurve, and I thought I'd step back into it.
A friend has this bow for sale...comes with hard case, 18 new arrows, broadheads, stabilizer, sights, rest, quiver and release. I can snag it for $320 (can't tell you the name brands of all of the accessories). I was recently measured up at the local bow shop and I take a 28" draw. This bow is set for just that.
Although my message is limited with the info I'm providing, can anyone tell me their experiences with a Q2 and/or give some advice? I assume the pricing on this package is a good deal.
Thanks

lOVED MY Q-2 IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVRIOTS. DECENT PRICE. QUESTION ??? MAKE SURE THE BOW FITS YOU. DRAW LENTH ECT / HAVE YOU SHOT THE BOW YET? OOPS Caps lock was on...[:I]
thanks for the advice.........the bow fits my draw length of 28". I probably will not be able to shoot it until after the purchase.
Its a fine bow some time I'm sorry I sold mine.. good luck and welcome.[;)]
The price quoted is good but I would recommend a Wisker Bisket rest.
By the way, is there a good reference site for bow components/cross reference as it related to arrows? I need to educate myself on arrows. This package came with Easton A/C/C series DR superlite arrows. Need reference to match arrows to draw length/poundage etc..blah blah blah

If a friend has it for sale, why can't you shoot it before buying? My personal opinion would be to reconsider buying if you can't shoot it. No matter what the price, is there a problem with it that he doesn't want you to find by shooting it? I'd hate to think that a friend was trying to pawn junk off on you but I wouldn't buy without shooting.... unless I REALLY trusted this person. Good luck and keep us posted on what you do![8D]

I have one, like you I was out of archery for a while (25 years) and decided to get back into it. It's a great bow to shoot and it wasn't long before I was very proficient. Haven't killed a deer yet but hope to in a couple of years. The One I was waiting for was killed the first week of gun here in PA last year. 22" spread and 10 scoreable point but was really a main frame 8. 7.5 inch brow tines on his 2006 shed. His 2 younger brothers are now 6 pointers wider than their ears, not bad for 2.5 year olds (may turn into 8 pointers until their done growing this summer)
The price quoted is good but I would recommend a Wisker Bisket rest.
I, like buckey, am sometimes sorry I sold my Q2.
