A lot of manufacturers have a lot of great bows to offer right now. You really can't go wrong in any budget from any company. Your best bet, and I sound like a broken record, would be to head to as many local shops as you can and shoot as many different bows as you can. Don't limit yourself to brands; buy what feels best to you.
Broken Record...Get out there and shoot as many as you can and narrow your search down!
