Assuming that 700 is your budget, and looking for a first "real" bow, I'm thinking you are going to need some "real" accessories too. That means I'd put a solid 100-150 into those accessories if you can't get by with what you have.

Maybe look for a black ice '07 model...maybe some of the '07 hoyt models too. Buthoyt a bad word around here, ha.

Couldn't hurt to look at Bass Pro's Redhead Kryptic. Built by Diamond ( Bowtech )

Take a look at the Guardian, Allegiance, Marquis, Black Ice, and the TomKat. They are all great bows and one should feel better to you. I doubt you will find an Airborne at or under $700.
