I am looking to upgrade bows. I started out with a mission menace but am outgrowing it quickly. I am a little low on funds so I am looking for a bow in the $400-$500 range. I shot my cousins hoyt powerhawk and almost split my first arrow with my second. I like Hoyts but was wondering if anyone knew any good brands that would offer a solid bow at an affordable price.
A lot of underated bows in that range. Quest, Parker, Darton, Athens, Pearson, Forge, Lakota, APA, and Stacy just to name a few.

There are several great bows out there in that price range. The Menace you already have is a really nice little bow though. If I were you I would stick with it. As you said, you are outgrowing it...how close are you to being done growing? That is quite possibly the best bow on the market to grow with. With draw length from 17-30" and weight from 16-52#, I highly doubt you are going to actually outgrow it. You may decide you want more pull weight, but if it was me, I would wait until I was done growing, save up some money, and when I am done put that saved money towards a really nice one. But, it is you and you have to be comfortable with, and more importantly like the bow you have.

I have more bows and guns than I used to, but not enough.

I want something with more speed. I shot a 200# boar with it a few weeks ago and was not impressed with the penetration. I recovered it but wish that I could get some more penetration without switching to a smaller diameter broadhead. thats what I meant by outgrowing it. Sorry for the confusion.

What broadhead are you using? speed doesn't always equal more penetration. Heavier arrow and well designed and placed broadhead can really improve penetration.
