Remember this though, I would rather own a slightly used, year or two old, used bow than a cheap budget model that was new. Check the classified here on especially on archerytalk. I ever have an '06 Hoyt Trykon 28" 60-70# that I would sell ya for only $250 and I promise you.... it would be a FAR better choice than a lowend Bear or something similar. Good luck and good huntin' and welcome to the forums.
The Trykon is a great bow for $250, my hunting buddy MECHDOC uses one and it's a nice shooting and smooth bow.
