I am also new to this,but I just bought a PSE Beast for $235.00 and the shop also threw in 6 Easton carbon Excel arrows, peep sights, silencers, release loop, sights, and arrow rest. I may have just gotten lucky though, I have never even seen an ad for the Beast. Oh well so far I really like it.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
