Mauser6,

Look into a bow called Champion, it has a lifetime warranty and shoots great. I have recommended to several friends and they love it. I believe it was rated the best value bow in Bow Hunting Magazine last year. I forgot to mention, the price range is between $250-$300 new. I will most likely buy one as a back-up bow for when I travel, because you never know what can happen.

Thanks and good hunting!!
