thanks MdDave , at least someone in here understands better than those idiots in the crossbow section.

Anyhow i'd bump up my budget to $200 for a compound bow. do you know if there is any good brand or model to go with on this range in terms of quality of the bow and upgradability to put add-ons?

and for all those fella who thinks otherwise just mind your own business. i'm taking this as a hobby target practise.
