well i see your from pa so, imo since the season ends in less then 3 weeks and you have a bow already, i would wait as long as you can. a lot of people sell their bows after season to get extra xmas money and retailers ofte have the best sales. this is the best time to get a nice bow for less $$ i sugest a parralell limb bow. maybe hoyt, bowtech, diamond, even mathews. depeding on what you can find for the price you want to spend. my room mate bought a bow on ebay in the spring time that was fully loaded (hoyt vextrix) complete set up was around $1200. he paid $500. take a trip to the local shop and shoot a few different models. being south paw hurts you when doing that though because a lot of shops dont have a huge stock of left handed bows. the bow has to feel right to you, no matter what brand or cost!
