Chad,

I would be looking at BowTech's line of bows.

They are among the best in the business, have a lifetime warranty, and have several bows in your price range. You will also be supporting your local economy. They are based in Creswell Oregon I believe. If you ever have a problem and need to send it to the factory your turn around time should be very short. You won't get that with a used bow plus you won't have to hope you can find a used one that fits you. Where in Oregon do you live (I'm about 35min west of Salem)? You can give BT a call and they will give you a list of dealers in your area.

After doing a lot of research (over a year) I believe that, for what I was looking for, my BowTech Stalker was one of the best bows I could buy for the money. I paid $329.00 and had plenty of $ left over to purchase the accessories I wanted.

Just looked at your profile. Call Hook and Arrow Archery in Springfield. It should be in your phone book for Eugene also. Ask for Jamie, he is the owner. He is very knowledgeable and can set you up with something I'm sure you will be happy with.
