My nephew just got into bowhunting this year and he bought a HighCountry Powerforce and for around $400 you can get a fully rigged bow with carbon arrows.I read in one of the bowhunting magazines I forgot which one but it said that for the money, this is the best bow out there. I shot it myself and I think it is a great bow for a beginner or an experienced archer. I may be wrong but once you start bowhunting you will never look back. GOOD LUCK
