Jonathan, as I told you the other day. I do not know much about these bows, but Martin is making some reasonably priced bows these days as well with IBO around 300. I would also look at Parker, and the Gander Mountain brand bows. Im not sure what they price on the Mission is, but I do knowthose that I listed are pretty nice bows for less than the main stream glamour.You know I have a Martin and I love it. Not so sure when I get ready to take the plunge on a new bow that it will be a Martin, but deffinately shoot before you buy, no matter what it is. Give me a call if I can be of help.
