These guys are pretty much right on, so I won't repeat it, but I will answer a question you asked about this year's models vs. next....
The advances in bow technology amaze me every year. I relate it to computers. Every year amazes me at how much better they are than last. I know Hoyt, so that's what I talk about. They Trykon is one AWESOME bow, won honors of bow of the year and all that good stuff......This year the Vectrix was introduced, and I am bein honest when I say it is WAY better than the Trykon....
I often find myself wondering what they will be like in 5 years....I am amazed every year at how much they improve. Are they overpriced? Yep. But is it worth it? IMO, yep.
You need to go to the thread where the kid is looking at an outdated PSE that PSE still sales new and say the same thing there. I'm about ready to sendthe poor kidthe $30 to buy the better PSE or BEAR package.
I remember being in that boat when I was I graduated from college. Didn't have a lot of moeny but wanted a bow so I bought abow. However, there were much better bows for $50 more.I should have suffered that extra $50 or so fora better model.I liked the bow the day I walked out of the shop but startedhating it 6 months later when the limbs started to turn and the accuracy was worse than my Whitetail Legend. Actually stopped shooting for a few years because of that bow.

Sure, there is nothing wrongwith the older bows but the new ones do things that much better.
