dont forget arrows and accessories for the bow! if you spend 700 on a new bow you will easilysink another 300 in accessories..no sense in buying a brand new top of the line bow and putting cheap accessories on it or shooting with old outdated accessories...JMO though..my bow was 350$ bare....by the time i got it all set up and arrows etc i was closer to 700$..and i already want to update all the accessories because i bought middle of the road stuff and cheap arrows..

but everyones right..goto a good shop...shoot every bow in your price range THEN pick..base it on feel and how Y O U like it....you may like a 150$ PSE better then a 700+$ top of the line bow...sometimes that extra money isnt justified..exspecially when you dont have it to throw around or could spend it on other stuff....in the end its all upto Y O U..theres pretty much NO bow out there that isnt a decint shooter and wont make a good bow..some are slower, louder rougher etc than others...but sometimes that extra money isnt worth it...like in my case...my 350$ bow was a perfect starter bow...even still i rather upgrade the accessories rather than buy a new bow...i like my 350$ bow..
