I shoot a Reflex Excursion that we got at Cabela's in Fort Worth last year as a package (quiver, sight, and arrow rest -- two prongs, lots of noise). With the release, a whisker biscuit, and a peep added to it plus the arrows I still came out under $500.00. And I love the bow!

But the archery shop for used bows is a great idea also because my husband bought his Hoyt bow from a friend who was going to trade it in when his new bow came in. The bow is in excellent condition and was fully rigged out with sight, quiver, rest, etc. We were excited to find it because hubby is left handed and finding a used left handed bow is not easy. And we got it for a fraction of the cost (paid a little more than he was going to get from the shop but that was fair).

Good luck and congratulations on the little one to be!
