If you don't need the bow right away, you can wait towards the end of a year or start of a new one and snatchup a BRAND NEW last years model for cheap. That is what I did with my Bear Truth bow. Bought it new for $380. Now they even sell for less than $300 on eBay. Find a qualitybow where they come out with a new model for the new year. The only bad thing is you have to wait to find a deal.
