Thanks for the suggestion! I failed to mention that I'm trying to keep the price from being above $350 if I can. If Parker or Whisper don't make a good bow, I can save for the Matthews, it will just take me longer. I'm one to rush into a purchase, but I do want to start practicing as soon as possible since I'm new so that when I go on some planned hunts with buddies I'll at least be a halfway decent shooter.
