It all depends if the Nova comes with the accessories or not. I've seen them a lot of times just bare bow, so the Nova doesnt always have them. But if it does, your better off with the Nova. I remember about 5 years ago they said the PSE Nova was the #1 selling bow in the U.S. It is a very nice bow. Both are actually. You will get a very good value out of the bow because your not paying for fancy attention getters like how many FPS it shoots or how many frickin vibration module things it has on it. The Nova or Bruin will both shoot a deer JUST as good as a Bowtech or Mathews or anything in that million dollar range.
