I just got a stinger last week and really , really like it. I thought I'd never be ablle to afford a short , parralell limb ,light weight bow , $600 to $900 is just to much for my family. But for $299 you can get a stinger. Do a search for this bow on the net and check it out . I love it. Spits out arrows pretty fast. I'll post more about this bow as I go. In the last 13 years Ive had 2 bows , my fiirst and second , both second hand . This is my first new bow.
