Default I want a new bow!

Hello, I'm not sure if I put this in the right area, so please don't yell at me if I didn't. I am looking at getting a new bow...I use to be into archery a lot more than I am now...and that is just because I have had a lot going lately, job, school, jeep, girlfriend... I still get out and hunt a lot, and I would like a new bow. I have a newer PSE...but its kind of bulky...just feels cheap, and doesn't fling the arrows very fast, I am shooting easton axis arrows also. I am looking at spending anywheres from 300-600ish dollars on a bow... I want a nice one, I will take all the stuff off my bow to put on the new one, so that price can be the bow only. I want something that shoots fast, something very durable, and something that I will be able to get parts down the road for if need be, and a good warranty. So what should I get, I am a smaller in height person, and I really like the smaller/shorter draw bows.

To be honest, the best thing you could do is go shoot as many bows as you can and ignore the people that tell you one brand is better than another brand, period. Each bow feels different in each persons' hand - who am I to tell you what will fit best for you? Good luck!

x2 Each bow has its pro's and con's trick is to find a bow that feels right in your hands.

Austin is right on. Shoot as many as you can and see which one suits you better.
