I would encourage anybody looking for a great bow at a good price to check out Pearson's lineup. The Z-34 is almost identical to a Ross Cardiac and you can pick one up for $499 - and that includes custom strings and cables.

Or you can go over to archerytalk and search for Monofletch's Pearson's. He sells limited run models for around $300-$400 that are literally the same bows that the dealers sell for hundreds of dollars more.

You can also pick up barely used Pearson Stealth's for around $350. The Stealth shoots every bit as good as the Trykon and Vectrix that I shot side by side. The deal with Pearson's is that because they don't say "Hoyt", "Mathews", or "Bowtech" the resale value stinks. But if you are buying used, you can get an unbelievable bow at a great price.
