RE: new bow
Chris, of the ones you've listed, I'd probably go with the Mathews. Not saying that the other bows are not going to be good bows, but Mathew's typically and historically hold their resale value better. I think the Limbsaver bow's MSRP is higher than those in store prices you've listed for the Bear and Mathews, but the MSRP on those two bows is higher as well. I've heard $749 for the Dead Zone, but your guess us as good as anyone else's at to what you'll find it for when it is finally on the shelves.
