is it me or my bow?
i havent shot my bow in awhile but i got new arrows about 2-3 weeks ago and i have been shooting alot, but my arrows are every where, my accuracy is horrible, it is hard to keep my arrows in a 3 inch circle, i am shooting the same as i always have, and normaly i can shoot broadheads at 20-25 yards and keep em in a 2-2.5 inch circle, could my bow be out of tune, i havnt had it tuned since august, could my cams be out of balance, by the way its a pse nova hunter, (i need a new bow) wish i had more money.

well you might be letting the bow down to fast after the shot so if you hold it there till the arrow hits the target then if thats not it I don't know what it would be it might be the cams

If $400 is going to be your max, and you are looking at a Hoyt, and you are already looking on ebay, you have it made.I just bought my bow on ebay, an '04 Hoyt ViperTec, for $350. It shoots great, and verything is fine on it. That's not to say that if you buy on ebay, everything is going to be fine and dandy. There are some people on there that will not give an accurate description nd try to rip people off. But, if they have good feedback, they will generallyhave a good, quality description of what they are selling.

Deer coming into my treestand, a big non-typical. Setup is perfect. I draw back, take aim, and the pin settles perfectly on it's chest.....My thumb hits the release, arrow glides noiselessly toward it's target............then I woke up.....dang, another day of classes *sigh*
Personally, I can't stand Hoyt's Tec risers. But mark that down as personal preference.
I got a Bear TRX 36 on the cheap from Ebay a couple of years ago. It was a new-in-the-box closeout from an archery store. It's the first Bear compound I've owned since the late 80's and, based on my less than satisfactory experience with that one, I had to think long and hard about buying it. But I'd heard good things about Bear in the months leading up to it and decided to swallow hard and do it.
Frankly, I was amazed at how well the bow shoots and the quality. Bear is making a good quality bow these days. It'sa good, solid value, IMO.
On the other hand, if I could get the BowTechnear the price range as the Bear, I'd go BowTech.
I Agree with AP. While there are a lot of nice bows out there. I would keep my eyes open in the classifieds here and on AT as well as Ebay. There are bargains on top shelve bows to be had!

Ditto this, some great deals to be had, esp. over the next two months as guys are buying their NEW (this year) bow, they're letting go of last year's best offering at some pretty good savings, all the while, probably outfitted with after market strings, etc.
