With the amount of bread you said you would like to spend you can either look at the lines that some of the big name bows have such as bowtech's diamond line, hoyts reflex line as well as companys like bear, PSE, parker and the redhead line from bass pro shops. Redhead bows are made by the big name companies like parker, hoyt and bear and Gander mountain sells bows that are made for them by bowtech which have gotten some really good press in the magazines. Since it looks like there are only a few weeks in your season left, I would wait and take my time shooting as many bows as I could and see that I got the best deal that I could since after bow season they will put thier bows on clearance! Good luck and shoot'em straight.
