my last bow was 200$ pse nova one cam. some hand shock and the back wall was a little squishy but shooting 30in arrows at 275fps for $200 (for a whole kit) cant beat it and i actually won a comp with it. shot very accurate it really comes down to the archer. look at that guy who can hit an asprin with a long bow do you think he needs to upgrade every year. just practice alot with something you like the feel of.
