Buy this years bow next year for $450-$500. Or buy last years bow this year for $450-$500. Unless you have to have a "virgin" bow or you (anyone)justneed to have this years latest and greatest, then buy a used one. Think about it, the guardian/commander (or pick a manufacturer you like)were awesome bows when they came out last year with their new design and quietness. Well, they are still awesome bows this year but people are selling last years bows, some with just a few hundred or less shots, anywhere from $425 on up. Package deals, sight, rest, peep, stabilizer,extra modules, etc. are going for $550-$600.
